3.2 Principle of operation
CNCR-210/220 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement. It is suitable for liquids and
solids in practically all industries.
The instrument emits a continuous, frequency-modulated radar signal from its antenna. The emit-
tedsignalisreectedbythematerialandreceivedbytheantennaasanechowithamodied
frequency. The frequency change is proportional to the distance to the material.

CNCR-210/220 • Two-wire 4 - 20 6
4.2 Mounting
The radar emits pulses of electromagmetic waves which are polarized. By adjusting the rotation of
the instrument the polarization can be changed to reduce false echoes.
The narrow portion of the radar signal is in the middle of the conduit entry on the instrument. This
should be pointed towards the center of the vessel or any obstacle that may cause any unwanted
reectionstominimizefalseechos,forexample,thesidewallorvesselstructure.
4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient conditions according to DIN/EN/IEC/
ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable
•Tightenthecableglandorplugconnectorrmly
• Face the cable connection or conduit entry downward, never upward
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through
cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig. 3: Polarization position
Cable / conduit entry
Note:
Whenthehousingisrotated,thedirectionofpolarizationchangesandhencetheinuenceofthefalse
echo on the measured value. Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.

CNCR-210/220 • Two-wire 4 - 20 7
In vessels with cone bottoms, the sensor can be mounted in the center of the vessel to mea-
sure material down to the outlet.
When mounting the sensor, distance it at least 200 mm (7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor
is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However, these
can be suppressed by a false signal suppression (see chapter “Setup”).
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false signal suppression during initial
setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. If this is the case, we
recommend repeating the false signal suppression later with the additional buildup.

Donotmounttheinstrumentinorabovethellstream.Makesurethatitispointedtowardsthe
materialsurface,notthellstream.
For socket or stand pipe mount, the pipe should be as short as possible and its bottom end
roundedtoreducefalsereectionsfromtheendofthepipe.
When using a threaded coupling, the antenna end should protrude at least 5 mm (0.2 in) out
of the coupling.
Fig. 6: Reference plane

Fig.7:Mountingtheradarsensorwithinowingmaterial
The lower side of the radar antenna is the reference plane for the min./max. adjustment, see
following diagram:

100 mm 4” ≤400mm ≤15.8in
150 mm 6” ≤600mm ≤23.6in
Ifthereectivepropertiesofthematerialaregood,youcanmounttheCNCR-210onsockets
or stand pipes longer than the antenna. The pipe end should be smooth, burr-free and the end
rounded.
Note:
When mounting on longer sockets, we recommend carrying out a false signal suppression after
install (see chapter “Parameter adjustment”).
Recommended values for socket or stand pipe lengths and heights are in the following table. The
values come from typical applications.

5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
•Electricalconnectionshouldbecompletedbytrained,qualiedpersonnelauthorizedby
the plant operator.
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed.

CNCR-210/220 • Two-wire 4 - 20 10
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Note:
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit (power max. 100 W) according to IEC 61010-1,
e.g.
• Class 2 power supply unit (acc. to UL1310)
• SELV power supply unit (safety extra-low voltage) with suitable internal or external limitation
of the output current
Useroundcabletoensuree󰀨ectivesealingofthecableglandtotheappropriateIPratingand
checkthecablediameterversusthecableglandbeforewiringforpropert.
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable.
If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for
industrial areas, shielded cable should be used.
Note:
If the temperatures are too high, the cable insulation can be damaged.
5.2 Connecting

6.1 Preparations
Make sure that your smartphone/tablet meets the following system requirements:
• Operating system: iOS 8 or newer
• Operating system: Android 5.1 or newer
• Bluetooth 4.0 LE or newer
DownloadtheWirelessDeviceConguratorappfromthe“AppleAppStore”or“GooglePlay
Store” to your smartphone or tablet. To enable the Bluetooth software enter the BinMaster
company ID code BMYQXZ.

CNCR-210/220 • Two-wire 4 - 20 12
6.2 Connecting
Start the adjustment app and select the function “Setup”. The smartphone/tablet searches
automatically for Bluetooth-capable instruments in the area.
The message “Connecting …” is displayed.
The devices found are listed and the search is automatically continued.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.
Whenestablishingtheconnectionforthersttime,theoperatingtoolandthesensormust
authenticateeachother.Aftertherstcorrectauthentication,eachsubsequentconnectionis
made without a new authentication query.
Forauthentication,enterthe6-digitBluetoothaccesscodeinthenextmenuwindow.Youcannd
the code on the outside of the device housing and on the setup information sheet in the device
packaging.
Note:
If an incorrect code is entered, the code can only be entered again after a delay time and the delay
gets longer after each incorrect entry.
The message “Waiting for authentication” is displayed on the smartphone/tablet.
After connection, the sensor adjustment menu is displayed on the smartphone/tablet.
If the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, e.g. due to a too large distance between the two devices,
this is displayed on the smartphone/tablet. The message disappears when the connection is restored.
Parameter adjustment of the device is only possible if the parameter protection is deactivated, which
is default. Parameter protection can be activated later if desired.
