5.INSTALLATION
MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
Mounting position
-With cambered roof, do not install the sensor in the tank center (b). Leave a 11” (300mm) (d) minimum
distance between the sensor and the tank smooth wall.
-Use a protective cover to protect the sensor from weather and direct sunlight (c).
-Do not install the sensor near the load zone (a).
-Make sure that in the sensor emission beam (lobe “α”) there are no obstacles (f,e) that can be
intercepted as level.
- Make sure that there is not foam presenton the surface of the product.

Blind distance
During installation is important to remember that in the sensor proximity there is a blind zone (or BLIND
DISTANCE) of 10" (19.7 ft / 6m model) and 15" (32.8 ft / 10m model) where the sensor can not measure.

U5098 can be installed in an extension pipe to turn away the sensor from the maximum level point.
The extension pipe must be ßat and without joints (welds, etc..), and the pipe terminal part must be cut at 45°

Reference pipe installation
Disturbing factors that may inßuence the level measurement in liquids, as for example:
-foam presence on the liquid surface
-internal structures presence in the tank
-presence of ßoating bodies on the liquid surface
can be avoided with the use of level measure inside of pipes (by-pass pipe or still-pipe with 2.24” (57mm) min.
diameter. The pipe must have a length greater or equal than the empty distance and some vent holes to allow the
pipe regular Þlling and emptying.
In the “User Set UP” screen of the MODBUS RTU Software select the “LIQUID PIPE” option in product
parameter.

Agitators presence
Level measurement when using agitators in the tank is possible due to the auto-tuned statistical filter. Adjustment of
the filter settings is rarely needed, but if required, the U5098 sensor programming parameters may be edited as
follows in the MODBUS RTU Software:
FILTER; this parameter is available in the “ User Setup” screen; increasing the parameter value decreases the
sensor sensitivity to the level measurement sudden variations.
F-WINDOW; this parameter is available in the “ User Setup” screen; decreasing the parameter programmed value
increases the sensor immunity to false echoes.

HUMIDITY INFILTRATIONS
To avoid the humidity inÞltration inside the housing is recommended:
-to use a cable with a 0.2”-0.4” (5-10mm) outer diameter and fully tighten the M16 cable gland for electrical
connections
-to fully tighten the cap
-to position the cable so that it forms a downward curve at the M16 output; in this way the condensation and/or the
rain water will tend to drip from the curve bottom
7-CONFIGURATION MODES
The U5098 have 2 conÞguration/calibration modes:
-via digital communication: via MODBUS RTU by PC
-via 2 on board buttons
DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION
U5098 MODBUS RTU PC connection
1) U5098 with MODBUS RTU communication protocol
2) USB/RS485 interface module
3)MODBUS RTU communication S/W, for U5098 transmitter
With this software is possible:
-to connect the U5098 transmitters in MODBUS RTU network by selecting the UID address
-to read on your PC monitor all measures in reading and U5098 operation data
-to program all U5098 conÞguration parameters
-to store the measurement readings and the operating status of U5098

VIA 2 BUTTONS CALIBRATIONS
U5098 has 2 buttons on board, P1 and P2, with which it is possible:
-to program the level measurement range via the 4mA and 20mA distancesself-acquisition
-to program the RL1 and RL2 thresholds via the switching distances self-acquisition.

4mA DISTANCE
To set the 0% level measurement (4mA) it is necessary that the real level is the one corresponding to the “4mA
Dist.”; alternatively it is possible to place a target orthogonally to the U5098 transmitter at a distance equivalent
to the 0%level. Wait until the ECO LED ßashes for at least 30s, press simultaneously P1 and P2, release them
and verify that the ECO LED remains turned on.
Press P1 two times and wait for the ECO LED ßashes.
The distance has been saved and automatically associated with the 0% level (4mA).
20mA DISTANCE
To set the 100% level measurement (4mA) it is necessary that the real level is the one corresponding to the
“20mA Dist.”; alternatively it is possible to place a target orthogonally to the U5098 transmitter at a distance
equivalent to the 100% level.
Wait until the ECO LED ßashes for at least 30s, press simultaneously P1 and P2, release them and verify that the
ECO LED remains turned on.
Press P2 two times and wait for the ECO LED ßashes.
The distance has been saved and automatically associated with the 100% level (4mA).

HYSTERESIS
Additional conÞguring with the MODBUS RTU Software with the maximum level threshold value
storage, in the example 118Ó (3000mm) the U5098 activates RL2 with the following default settings
for level alarm threshold:
1) MIN / MAX = MIN; minimum level alarm
2) DELAY = 0 sec.; no switching delay
3) SECURITY = YES; relay de-energized, and contact open, during the maximum level alarm
4) ENABLE / DISABLE = ENABLE; alarm threshold function enabled
5) MIN/MAX HYSTERESIS mm = 40mm
To change these relay setting it is necessary to access the advanced setup menu and any subsequent changes
to the RL2 threshold value will not aect the relay custom settings.
RL1 MAX LEVEL THRESHOLD DISTANCE
To set the RL1 maximum level alarm threshold is necessary that the real level is the one corresponding to the
ÒRL1 max. lev. threshold dist.Ó; alternatively it is possible to place a target orthogonally to the U5098 transmitter at a
distance equivalent.
Wait until the ECO LED ßashes for at least 30s, press simultaneously P1 and P2, release them and
verify that the ECO LED remains turned on. Press P2 and then P1 and wait for the ECO LED ßashes.
The distance has been saved and automatically associated with the RL1 threshold.
RL2 MIN LEVEL THRESHOLD DISTANCE
To set the RL2 maximum level alarm threshold is necessary that the real level is the one corresponding to the ÒRL2
min. lev. threshold dist.Ó; alternatively it is possible to place a target orthogonally to the U5098 transmitter at a
distance equivalent.
Wait until the ECO LED ßashes for at least 30s, press simultaneously P1 and P2, release them and verify that
the ECO LED remains turned on. Press P1 and then P2 and wait for the ECO LED ßashes.
The distance has been saved and automatically associated with the RL2 threshold.
