II . PRODUCT
ULM-1000C is an ultrasonic non-contacting level meter which will increase
the eectiveness of your liquid management process. It is designed its sensor
and controller in one compact housing. ULM-1000C is two-wire loop-powered
instrument and its measurement range is 6 meters.
ULM-1000C menu makes the user easy and simple for calibration. All
functions are optimized which enables you to eectively monitor the liquid
level and keep your facilities running safely and reliably.
Application:
ULM-1000C is suitable for liquids level monitoring in all industries,
particularly in the water and wastewater industry.
• Depending on the sensor material, the application can be
restricted. Before installing the sensor, please check the chemical
compatibility chart.

1. Principle of operation
The sensor transmits ultrasonic pulses to the measurement target. The pulses
are reected from the surface of the target and received back by the sensor.
The running time is converted into the distance and it ows as level or
volume on the display.
=D(C•T)/2
D: DISTANCE
C: SOUND VELOCITY
T: TIME OF FLIGHT
• Distance: from the sensor bottom to surface of the target
• Level: from the bottom of storage to surface of the target
• Empty: from the sensor bottom to the bottom of storage

III. Installation
1. General Guide
Before installing the product, read this manual and specication. It is
installed in a place that is within the temperature range specied in this
manual and that is suitable to the enclosure rating and materials. If the
products are installed improperly, it may cause malfunction.
This is general guide for installing SONDAR ultrasonic products.
Remove the obstacles in the space between the sensor and the measured target
such as ladders, limit switches, heating spirals etc.
When mounting the sensor, keep the distance to the vessel wall.
The bottom of the sensor ould be perpendicular to the surface of water.
Do not set the maximum level into the Dead Zone range.
Avoid the intense winds and excessive exposure to direct sunlight. The strong
winds change the path of ultrasound and may cause a malfunction. If you need
to install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight, sun screen must be
installed.
Keep the distance from the place where are strong noise by high voltage, high
current etc.
Install the unit in the place vibration free.
Use the product in accordance with its specications.

2. Mounting
ULM-1000C can be mounted with a mounting bracket or with screw in ange
or in many other ways. This manual explains two typical mounting types of
ULM-1000C.
2-1. Installation with mounting bracket
• If the equipment is installed or used in a manner not specified in
this manual, then the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.

2-1. Installation with screw in a flange
• The nozzle length shouldn’t be exceeded the maximum length
above. Shorter setting is better.
• The nozzle should be free of obstructions such as weld seams.
Nozzle Diameter(D) Maximum Nozzle Length(L)
80mm 240mm
100mm 300mm
150mm 430mm
200mm 570mm
D L

3. Installation Condition
Do not install the sensor in or
above a lling ow outlet. Secure
enough distance from the lling
ow.
When mounting the sensor, keep
the distance to the vessel wall.
The bottom of the sensor ould be
perpendicular to the surface of
water.
Do not set the maximum level(100 %
of Span)
into the Dead Zone range
