3.2 Principle of operation
CNCR-110 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
emitted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-110 • Two-wire 4 - 20 6
4.2 Mounting
For a rigid mount, a mounting bracket with opening for thread G1 is recommended. The sensor is
mounted in the bracket using the supplied G1 plastic nut. Take note of Figure 4 for the recommended
minimum distance to the vessel wall.
Fig. 3: Mounting via a mounting bracket
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.
4.3 Mounting instructions
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 printed label on the instrument. This
should be pointed towards the center of the vessel or any obstacle that may cause and unwanted
reectionstominimizefalseechos,forexample,thesidewallorvesselstructure.

CNCR-110 • Two-wire 4 - 20 7
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 a round vessel top, 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.
Fig. 5: Mounting the radar sensor on round vessel tops
In vessels with cone bottoms, the sensor can be mounted in the center of the vessel to measure
material down to the outlet.

Donotmounttheinstrumentsinorabovethellstream.Makesurethatitispointedtowardsthe
mediumsurface,notthellstream.
Fig. 7: Mounting the radar sensor away from 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.
Ifthereectivepropertiesofthematerialaregood,youcanmounttheCNCR-110onsocketsor
stand pipes longer than the antenna. The pipe end should be smooth, burr-free and the end
rounded.

Socket diameter d Socket length h

100 mm 4” ≤400mm ≤15.8in
150 mm 6” ≤600mm ≤23.6in
The sensor should be mounted in a location where the radar signal is not interfered with by
structure,suchasladders,bracesorllstream.
Make sure when planning the installation there is a clear, unobstructed view to the material to
be measured. After installation a false signal suppression should be carried out to minimize
anyreectionsfromthemountornearbystructure.
Note:
When mounting on longer sockets or stand pipes, we recommend carrying out a false signal
suppression after install (see chapter 6.3 “Parameter adjustment”).
Recommended values for socket or stand pipe lengths and heights are in the following table. The
values come from typical applications.

2 Blue Voltage supply, signal output Minus (-)
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
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Note:
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit (power max. 100 W)
acc. 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

6 Setup with smartphone/tablet (Bluetooth)
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.
6.2 Connecting
Start the adjustment app and select the function “Setup”. The smartphone/tablet searches auto-
matically 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smartphone/tablet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.
Fig. 10: Enter Bluetooth access code
Note:
If an incorrect code is entered, the code can only be entered again after a time delay and the delay gets
longer after each incorrect entry. The message “Waiting for authentication” is displayed on the
smartphone/tablet.

CNCR-110 • Two-wire 4 - 20 12
After the sensor is connected, 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.
6.3 Parameter adjustment
The sensor adjustment menu is divided into two areas, which are arranged next to each other or
one below the other, depending on the
smartphone/tablet .
• Navigation section
• Menu item display
The selected menu item can be recognized by the color change.
Fig. 11: Example of an app view - Setup sensor adjustment
Entertherequestedparametersandconrmviathekeyboardortheeditingeld.Thesettingsare
then active in the sensor.
Close the app to terminate connection.
Note:
IftheCNCRfailstoconnecttotheWirelessDeviceCongurationApp(WDCA)viaBluetooth,close
the (WDCA), power cycle the CNCR and attempt to reconnect.
If further action is required, power cycle the Bluetooth on your device, and repeat the steps above.
