Overview
Principle of Operation
The Gladiator Acoustic Switch uses Acoustic Wave technology in a new Sender / Receiver form for blocked
chute detection and anti collision for heavy machinery. The Gladiator Amplifier powers two Transducers
which use special HAWK developed software where both units pulse & receive each others Acoustic echoes.
When the path between the Transducers is blocked the units immediately detect the presence/absence
change of the return signal and trigger a communications relay for indication or control purposes.
HAWK’s Acoustic Wave Transducers are self cleaning. The Acoustic Switch is designed for continuous
operation in dusty, wet environments where other technologies fail. The power of each pulse (pressure wave)
blows the water, moisture & build-up off the face of the diaphragm.
• No contact with the product required
• Self cleaning Transducers
• Heavy duty titanium version available
• Designed for dusty, wet environments
• LCD setup/diagnostics on remote amplier
• Blocked chute ranges up to 15 meters (50 ft)

Mounting Instructions
Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series
Flush Mount
For vessels with falling product the transducers
should be installed out of the main product flow
where possible. For heavy falling product chutes the
titanium face version is recommended along with
welding a protective hood above each transducer (not
in front of). Avoid mounting immediately next to the
perpendicular wall.
The transducer has a specially designed UHMW seal
which must be flush with the vessel wall interior. It
should not be recessed. Pipe Specification: 4-00”
Z40 ID = 100mm Black Pipe. Ideally the transducer
should be a snug fit without excessive insertion force
required during installation.
The closest point of the mounting flange when
fully screwed on will be 95mm from the face of
the transducer. Take note that this 95mm should
theoretically be the flush mount point for the
transducer face in the vessel. HAWK’s flanges are
specially decoupled to reduce ‘noise’ created by
mounting related vibration.
Alignment - The transducers need to be as accurately
facing each other as possible. No special rotation
required. ‘Alignment’ software not required.
See page 7 'Blocked Chute Mounting' for mounting
dimensions.

Setup Procedure
Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series
1. Mount the unit in its actual position
(see mounting - pages 7-8)
2. Check where the actual level or target is
relative to the sensors.
Make sure that the material or target is not blocking
the path between the transducers.
4. Turn the power on
The display will turn on and the fail-safe relay will
switch. The display will scroll through the following
messages: HAWK, Amp SerialNo, Type, Amp Soft
Ver, Device ID, SensorSerial, SensorModel, Sens
SoftVer, Sensor Addrs, Gladiator System Amp.
The unit will then go into operational mode
displaying ‘Switch’ with a % value. This % value
represents the changing amount of signal
loss between the transducers.
If you see an error code, see ‘troubleshooting’.
5. Simple “1-minute” Setup - Follow the flow chart

• For heavy materials almost any setting will work a higher % setting may be required. When
the level or target falls below the sensors the relay will switch back on.
Select the Switch Time Delay
Set the delay time for the relay switching on and off.
Mounting Calibration
• Do not proceed with this step unless the material or target position is well beneath the line
between the sender and receiver.
• Select ‘Yes’ to start the mounting calibration.
• ‘Wait’ will be displayed during the calibration for up to 30 seconds.
• Unit is now able to cancel the influence of the mounting.
• The % reading on the back lit display has been zeroed with the existing process conditions
and the measurement history log has been cleared.
• Always CAL MOUNT after changing application type or moving the transducers.
Select the required relay action
The Relay action can be defaulted to either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ and switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ in response
to an instrument failure.
• Failsafe High - Relay is energised during normal operation and de-energised during blocked
conditions or unit failure.
• Failsafe Low - Relay is de-energised during normal operation and energised during blocked
conditions or unit failure.
Choose Application Type
• Alignment - For transducer alignment at long range (boom protection applications)
• Blocked Chutes - Configures the unit for blocked chute applications.
• Boom Protection - For anti collision / machinery detection.
• Switch - Allows selection of Sensitivity% for standard switch application.
Note: If prompted to ‘re-calc app params’ this means the unit is already set to that app type -
the unit is asking if you wish to re-configure the settings.

Setting Maximum Range
Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series
• After a calibration the unit has a high & fluctuating switch%
• Check the echo distance diagnostic (while the unit is RUNNING, press down arrow until the top line
reads E: x.xx. If this value (distance) is double the approximate space between sensors or greater you
will need to adjust the ‘empty distance’ to restrict the maximum range.
• The setting is called ‘Empty Dist’ in the main menu labelled ‘Advanced’.
• Press CAL to edit, then the arrow to adjust this distance to 125% of the space between the sensors
(example, if there is approximately 4.00m between the sensors adjust this value to 5.00m).

Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series
Alignment
• For Aligning the unit in long range
(boom protection applications).
• Unit is set to 1.2V signal (~48% sw value).
• Move the unit face to get the sw value reading low
(0% indicates perfect alignment at current gain
setting).
• Calibrate & re-select this mode and repeat till you
cannot improve the alignment.
• This mode is only for alignment, not for an active
process.
Blocked Chute
• Configures the unit for blocked chute applications
Boom Protection
• Sets the unit to Boom Protection mode.
• This can also be used for machinery or object
detection
Switch
• For standard switch applications where blocked
chute or boom protection is not appropriate.
• A high value will make the unit more sensitive to
switching and responding to lighter materials.
• A low value will make the unit more resilient and
ignore dust / build up.
Cal Mounting
• Do not proceed with this step unless the material
or target position is well beneath the line between
the transducers.
• Select ‘Yes’ to start the mounting calibration.
• ‘Wait’ will be displayed during the calibration during
the procedure and the Status A & B lights will flash
while the unit is pulsing.
• The unit then performs a final check.
• The Cal Mounting process configures the system to
the optimum settings to achieve a 2.4V signal
(signal in volts viewable in the diagnostics).
Switch Point
Auto:
• The output relay will switch on at displayed %
value (default 75%) Auto settings will be suitable for
detecting most media.
• Adjusting the switch on % will automatically adjust
the switch off %.
• For blocked chute applications a higher % switch on
value is recommend such as 90%.
Manual:
• To adjust both switch point values see ‘Switch Mode’
in the ‘Advanced’ menu.
On & Off Delay Adjustment
• Set the time to be used for both switch on and
switch off delays (default: 1 second).
Relay1 Action
• Relay1 can be set to Low or High.
• When the Relay is in high mode it is always
switched on (EN) and will switch off (DEN) when
there is a blocked chute condition or unit failure.
• High is recommended.
• When in Low mode the Relay will be switched off
(DEN) during normal operation and will switch on
(EN) when there is a blocked chute condition or unit
failure.

• If you need to re-initialize the transducer address
connection sequence you can run this program.
• You will have the option to clear each transducer
address.
• If the transducers are already correctly addressed
within the amplifier the unit will cycle through and
display ‘found’ and then ‘too many transducers’.
• In this event press and hold RUN firmly to return to
the menus.
V In Chk
• V in Chk ensures the minimum required voltage for
unit operation (9.5V) is being supplied to the unit.
• If switched off the LCD will display ‘volt fail’ when
voltage drops below 9.5V.
• When switched on the unit will enter failsafe mode
and display volt fail when input voltage drops below
9.5V.
Empty Dist
• See ‘setting maximum range’ on Page 11
LoadDefaults
• Restores factory default settings to amplifier, sensor
1 and sensor 2.
• You will be prompted to set each individually.

19
Maintenance / Cleaner
Gladiator Acoustic Switch Series
• The Gladiator Amplifier has received a firmware
update to utilise the Relay 2 as a trigger mechanism
to notify the user or activate a cleaning system
based on time or conditions within the application
which require cleaning.
• There are three software options using two
different concepts. The first concept is based on
total Gain used and the second is based on a Time
interval.
• The options are located in the Advanced menu as a
sub menu for Relay2Action.
The selectable software options are as follows:
[Maintnce Chk]
• The unit will switch on the relay when total Gain is
greater than the CleanGainHigh % - the relay will
switch off when Gain falls below CleanGainLow %.
[GainOpt Clng]
• When total Gain exceeds the CleanGainHigh point
the unit activates the relay for 1/2 of the On Delay
time and then switches off.
• The unit will then count the Clean Time interval time
before repeat the process until total Gain is below
CleanGainLow point.
[TimeOpt Clng]
• At every Clean Time interval the unit will switch on
the relay for 1/2 of the On Delay time and
then switch off.
Setup Example - Gain Based
• In ‘Quickset’ Set ‘On Delay’ to 4.0 seconds - this will
provide a 2.0 second water blast.
• In ‘Advanced’ set ‘Relay2Action to ‘GainOptCln’ with
a ‘CleanGainHi’ of 80%, ‘CleanGainLo’ of 70% and
‘Clean Timer’ to 5.0min
• This will trigger the water spray for 2 seconds when
Gain goes above 80%.
• The spray will repeat every 5 minutes until Gain
goes below 70%.
• You can view Gain while the unit is running by using
the arrow key to locate the diagnostic display

• Check sensor for damage.
New installations
• You may need to re-initialise the transducers.
• The re-initialisation sequence assigns each an ID
which the amplifier is looking to communicate with.
• The re-initialise program is in the ‘Advanced’ Menu.
• While an error code is on the screen you will need
to push and firmly hold the CAL button to access the
unlock screen. This may take 5-10 seconds.
Error 02:
• Amplifier can talk to transducer but transducer gives
incorrect response.
• This can indicate a communication data corruption
between Amplifier and Transducer.
• It can be a result of noise in data lines or one of data
lines (blue or white) being open circuit.
Error 03:
• A communications option in output adjustment has
been selected (eg Profibus, FF) but the module is
not present, connected or responding.
Error 04:
• Amplifier is programmed with incorrect software.
Error 08:
• Incorrect transducer - ensure connected transducer
is Acoustic Switch (AS).
Power Supply
• LCD / LEDs / Relays dimming or dropping out in
non-blocked conditions.
• The GSASUS when powered by AC will output a DC
voltage from the DC +/- terminals.
• You should read approx 16V stable from DC +/-
while under AC power. If your AC power is stable
and the DC is outputting a lower or unstable value
there is likely a problem with the internal AC power
supply.
• You can use a 24DC regulator and power the unit
via DC terminals.
• High / Inconsistence switch % after calibration
• See ‘setting maximum range’
