Introduction
Introduction
AiRanger DPL Plus
The AiRanger DPL Plus is an ultrasonic long-range level monitoring system for liquids and
solids. AiRanger DPL Plus level monitor uses one or two Siemens Milltronics ultrasonic
transducers (ordered separately) to accurately monitor material level in one or two
vessels without material contact.
The AiRanger DPL Plus transmits electronic pulses to each connected ultrasonic
transducer. The transducer converts the electronic pulses to ultrasonic pulses which are
emitted from the transducer face in a narrow beam. The AiRanger DPL Plus measures the
time from the pulse emission, to reception of the reflection (echo) from the material.
Using the time measured, the AiRanger DPL Plus calculates the distance from the
transducer face to the material.
The distance calculation depends upon the sound velocity within the vessel. When
Echomax transducers are used, variable air temperatures are automatically
compensated. For superior air temperature compensation, individual Siemens Milltronics
TS-3 temperature sensors may be used for each vessel. A simple calibration feature
compensates for homogeneous atmospheres other than air.
The AiRanger DPL Plus uses Siemens Milltronics patented Sonic Intelligence®echo
processing. Sonic Intelligence provides high measurement reliability, regardless of
changing conditions within the vessel monitored. By using ultrasonic echo ranging
principles with Sonic Intelligence and velocity compensation, the AiRanger DPL Plus
provides outstanding measurement accuracy, usually within 0.25% of range.
The distance calculation can be converted to space, material level, material volume,
remaining vessel capacity, differential level, or average level readings. The reading
chosen (and operating data) for each vessel is displayed on the LCD (liquid crystal
display).
Note: The AiRanger® DPL Plus is to be used only in the manner outlined in this
instruction manual.

Introduction
The relays and mA outputs may be used as preset (or programmed as desired) to activate
alarms and/or operate remote monitoring equipment and/or process control equipment.
With the addition of a Siemens Milltronics Smartlinx ®protocol specific plug-in
communications module, the AiRanger DPL Plus is compatible with popular industrial
control system standards. Supported protocol include PROFIBUS DP, Allen-Bradley®1
Remote I/O, Modbus® RTU, and DeviceNetTM.
Programming can be done locally using the portable programmer keypad, or remotely
through optional Dolphin Plus software or SmartLinx.
• The programmer transmits the keypad entries via infrared link to the AiRanger DPL
Plus, and can be removed when not in use.
• Dolphin Plus allows programming either through the RJ-11 port or hardwired via the
RS-232/485 communication port.
• SmartLinx provides protocol specific hardware and software for interface with
popular industrial communication systems.

Introduction
The AiRanger DPL Plus is typically used to monitor material level in open or closed
vessels but can be used in almost any process which requires a distance measurement
(within the system range).
Refer to Technical Reference Application Examples on page 96 for detailed descriptions
of some configuration examples to which the AiRanger DPL Plus may be applied. If
process or equipment position monitoring at distances greater than 60 m (200 ft) is
required, refer to Example - 6, Tripper Measurement.
AiRanger DPL Plus Features
• Enclosure: Chemical resistant, light weight, dust tight, liquid tight,
easy to work with.
• Backlit LCD: Large digits for Reading and programming value displays.
Illuminated LCD insures readability under all lighting
conditions. Includes custom Graphic Symbols for continuous
indication of operating conditions.
• Programmer: 20 tactile feedback keys for easy access to programming
and operating functions. Magnetic mounting and infrared
interface permit removal on programming completion.
• Scanning: Substantially reduces equipment costs for an additional
vessel (present or future).
• Communications: SmartLinx Compatible
Communications ready when equipped with an appropriate
Milltronics SmartLinx module.
• Dolphin Compatible Communications
Dolphin Plus is Windows®1-compatible configuration software
connected to the unit via the RG-11 port or remote connection
through the RS-232 or RS-485 port. The software provides an
easy means for programming, uploading,or downloading
parameters.
• Speed: 16/32 bit microprocessor at 16.7 MHz clock speed. 1 vessel
(point) per second scanning speed capability.
• Reliability: Sonic Intelligence ensures all measurements are accurate
and reliable. Immune to power interruptions. All programming
is stored indefinitely. Dynamic operating data is retained for
one hour and updated immediately onpower resumption.

Installation
Mounting
Inspect all cartons and packaging for possible damage during shipment, before removing
the AiRanger DPL Plus and associated equipment.
1. Loosen the 6 enclosure lid (captivated) screws and swing the lid open.
2. Remove the 4 Board B mounting screws (outer corners) and remove the circuit
board assembly.
3. Drill required holes in the enclosure bottom to meet enclosure cable/conduit entry
requirements.
4. Attach the enclosure to the selected mounting surface (use four predrilled screw
holes).
5. Attach the conduits/cable hubs to the enclosure. (Do not apply undue force.)
6. Reinstall the circuit board assembly.
Transducer Mounting
Objects near the transducer face cannot be reliably detected. Mount the transducer
above the highest material level (away from the nearest monitored object) by the
following Nearest Distance.
Warnings
• Non metallic enclosure does not provide grounding between connections. Use
grounding type bushings and jumpers.
• This product is susceptable to electrostatic shock. Follow proper grounding
procedures.
Nearest Distance Transducer Types
0.5 m (1.65 ft)1

Installation
Interconnection
Before interconnecting system components to the AiRanger DPL Plus terminals, verify all
components have been installed in accordance with the associated product instruction
manuals.
Connect all associated equipment cable shields to the AiRanger DPL Plus shield
connections. To avoid differential ground potentials, do not connect cable shields to
ground (earth) elsewhere. Insulate or tape cable shields at all shield junctions to prevent
ground loops.
