ConfiguringtheEchoSonic®II
Configurationofyoursensorshouldbeperformedpriortomounting,sinceitrequires
connectiontoyourPC.

Step1:InstalltheWebCal™Software
DownloadWebCal™fromwww.flowline.comontoaPCwiththefollowingminimum
specifications:
Windows®2000/XP/Vista/7/8,10MBstoragespace,256MBRAM,1USB2.0port
Double‐clicktheWebCal™icontoinstallbeforeproceedingtoStep2.Youmusthavean
activeInternetconnectiontoinstallWebCal™,asitwillautomaticallyverifydriverupdates.
Step2:ConnecttheUSBFob
NOTE:DonotconnecttheFobuntilafteryou’veinstalledWebCal™.
ThesensorcommunicatestoitsconfigurationsoftwarethroughtheUSBFob.Priorto
connectingtheFob,ensurethatallexternalpowerisdisconnectedfromtheEchoSonic®II
aspowerisprovidedthroughthePC’sUSB2.0port.Donotuseacableconnectingthe
sensortotheFobanylongerthan15feet.

1) Connectthered,green,white,andblackwiresfromtheEchoSonic®IItothe
correspondingcoloredterminalsontheFob(asshowninthediagram).
2) Tightentheterminalscrewswithaslottedscrewdriver.
3) PlugtheFobintoyourPC’sUSBport.



MountingtheEchoSonic®II
Thesensorshouldalwaysbemountedperpendiculartotheliquidsurfaceusingthe
providedViton®mountinggasket.Insurethattherearenorestrictionsorobstaclesinthe
pathoftheultrasonicsignal.FurthermountinginformationcanbefoundontheFlowline
websiteatwww.flowline.com.
MountingwithaTankAdapter:
Selectatankadapterfitting,suchastheLM52‐2890.
MountingwithaRiser:
Asinstallationswithtall,narrowriserscanimpedetheacousticsignal.2"diameterrisers
shouldbenotallerthan5".Largerdiameterrisersshouldbenotallerthan12".

MountingwithaStand‐Pipe:
Astand‐pipemaybeusedtodampenturbulence,separatesurfacefoamfromthepointof
measurementorincreaseperformanceinheavyvapor.Whenmountingthesensorina
stand‐pipe,theminimumdiameterofthepipeis3”.Largerdiameterpipescanbeused.The
pipeshouldbeattachedwithacouplingandreducerbushing.Thepipelengthshouldrun
themeasurementspanandthebottomofthepipeshouldremainsubmergedatalltimesto
preventfoamfromenteringthepipe.Cutthebottomendofthepipeat45°anddrilla
1/4”pressureequalizationholehighinthedeadband.Thepumpsshouldnotdriveliquid
pasttheopenendofthestandpipewhichcausestheliquidinthepipetooscillate.
Stand‐PipeMounting
IMPORTANTMOUNTINGGUIDELINES:
1) Nevermountthesensoratanangle.
2) Liquidshouldneverenterthedeadband.
3) Mountatleast3”fromthesidewall.
4) Nevermountinavacuum.
5) Donotobstructthesensor’sbeamwidth.


WiringtheEchoSonic®II
Aftermountingthesensor,makethenecessaryelectricalconnections.Awiringdiagram
withspecificrecommendationsforthesensor’sconfigurationcanbeprintedfromthe
WebCal™program.Atypicalwiringdiagramisshownonthenextpage.
