Milltronics AIRANGER DPL PLUS User manual

OPERATION
When the Quick Start procedure is complete...
1.
"----" is displayed briefly...
The AIRANGER DPL PLUS rapidly takes measurements,
verifies repeatability, and calculates Readings.
For one vessel, the Reading is displayed continuously.
For two vessels, Readings are scroll displayed.
Difference or Average Readings (if selected) are also scroll
displayed, as Point Number 3.
The Bar Graph indicates material level (0 to 100%),
regardless of the Operation selected.
If "▲" is displayed the vessel level has exceeded 80% and
not yet fallen below 75% (Hi Alarm).
If "▼" is displayed the vessel level has fallen below 20% and
not yet exceeded 25% (Lo Alarm).
When in alarm, the corresponding relay is de-energized.
2.
Readings are displayed in % (based upon Operation).
level space or distance
Empty ➞Span = 0 ➞100% Empty ➞Span = 100 ➞0%
3.
View mA output values in the Auxiliary Reading display.
level space or distance
Empty ➞Span = 4 ➞20mA Empty ➞Span = 20 ➞4mA
4.
View the Failsafe Time Left in % (before "LOE" is displayed).
If the value reaches 0, the "old" Reading, Bar Graph, relays,
and mA outputs are "held" and "LOE" flashes.
When a valid measurement is made, the value resets to 100.
The AIRANGER DPL PLUS advances to the "new" level;
operating displays and outputs accordingly.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Monitor system performance, under all operating conditions.
If alternate display, relay, or mA output operation is required,
or "LOE" is displayed, see instruction manual PL-421.
Connect (or enable) alarm/control equipment only after
satisfactory performance is verified.

GENERAL
Quick Start details the minimum recommended start up
procedure for most AIRANGER DPL PLUS installations.
Refer to the individual product instruction manuals for
complete installation and interconnection instructions for the:
AIRANGER DPL PLUS
Ultrasonic Transducers
TS-3 Temperature Sensors (if used)
BIC-II Buffered Interface Converter (if used)
To measure distances greater than 60 m (200ft), refer to the
AIRANGER DPL PLUS manual (PL-421).
Ensure all process control equipment is disabled until
satisfactory AIRANGER DPL PLUS performance is verified.
INITIAL START UP
1. Place the programmer in the AIRANGER DPL PLUS
enclosure lid recess. The magnetic programmer base
holds it in place.
2. Apply power to the AIRANGER DPL PLUS,
OFF is displayed.
3.
During the following procedure:
a) If the selection desired is already displayed...
no entry is required. (Advance to the next step.)
b) If an entry error is made...
and try again.
VESSEL # 1
STEP 1 Which type of Operation is desired?
(P001)
0 = off (point out of service)
1 = level (how full the vessel is)
2 = space (how empty the vessel is)
3 = distance (from the transducer face)
e.g. for level
to advance
STEP 2 Which Material is being monitored?
(P002)
1 = liquid (flat level surface)
2 = solid (uneven sloped surface)
e.g. for liquid
to advance
STEP 3 Which Measurement Response is desired?
(P003)
1 = slow (0.1 m/min)
2 = medium (1 m/min)
3 = fast (10 m/min)
(Slower response improves measurement stability!)
e.g. for fast
to advance
STEP 4 Which Transducer is connected (check nameplate)?
(P004)
ULTRASONIC ULTRASONIC/TEMPERATURE
0 = not entered 100 = ST-H 106 = XPS-40
1 = ST-25 101 = XCT-8 107 = XLT-30
2 = ST-50 102 = XPS-10 108 = XLT-60
3 = ST-100 103 = XCT-12 109 = XLS-30
4 = LR-21 104 = XPS-15 110 = XLS-60
5 = LR-13 105 = XPS-30 111 =XKS-6
e.g. for LR-21
to advance
STEP 5 Which measurement Units are desired?
(P005)
1 = metres (m) 4 = feet (ft)
2 = centimetres (cm) 5 = inches (in)
3 = millimetres (mm)
e.g. for feet
to advance
STEP 6 Where is Empty (transducer face to vessel bottom)?
(P006)
(Presets Span to the maximum recommended value).
0.000 to 9999
e.g. for 60 Units
to advance
STEP 7 What is the Span (Empty to highest material level)?
(P007)
0.000 to 9999
e.g.
To monitor 1 vessel, proceed to OPERATION.
VESSEL # 2
a.
b.
c. Repeat STEP 1 to 7
(Use the same STEP 5 value as for Vessel # 1).
To monitor 2 vessels, proceed to OPERATION.
