1. Basic description

Ultrasonic level meter ULM® is a compact measuring device consisting of two parts - main level
meter (the body with measuring electronics) and display module. Using the electroacoustic
converter, the level meters transmit the sequence of ultrasonic pulses that spread towards the
surface level. The converter recuperates reflected acoustic waves that are subsequently pro-
cessed in the electronic module. The intelligent evaluation block filters out interfering signals,
compares the cleaned received signal with the false reflection map (e.g. from mixers, ladders,
reinforcement etc.) and selects a suitable reflection (echo). Based on the period during which
the individual pulses spread towards the surface level and back and based on the measured
temperature in the tank, the instant distance to the surface level is calculated. According to the
level height, the level meter output is set and the measured value is displayed on the display.

2. Range of applications

Thanks to their non-contact sensing principle, level meter are suitable for continuous level
measurement of liquids, wastewater, sludge, bulk materials, suspensions, adhesives, resins in
various open and closed containers, sumps, channels or troughs. The applicability for measur-
ing the level of bulk materials is limited and the measuring range is shortened.

5. Installation and putting into operation

Please follow next 3 steps:

• Mechanical mounting - see chapter 6
• Electrical connection - see chapter 7
• Settings - see chapter 9

6. Mechanical mounting

• Install the level meter in the vertical position into

the upper lid of the tank or reservoir using a weld-
ing flange, a fastening nut or a flange so that the
level meter axis can be perpendicular to the sur-
face level of the measured liquid (Fig. 1).
• The min. dimensional parameters to install the
level meter into a lid or a ceiling of a tank are given
in Fig. 3.
• When installing in an open channel (reservoir,
drain etc.), install the level meter onto a bracket as Fig. 1: Recommended installation in the tank
close as possible to the expected max. level.
• The reference plane for the measurement is the d > 1/12 c

(min. 200 mm)
lower edge of the transducer (Fig.2). In connec-
tion with the measurement principle, no signals d > 1/8 c

meter can be evaluated. The zone (Fig. 2) deter- ULM–70–20
d > 1/10 c
mines the min. distance possible between the (min. 200 mm)
level meter and the highest surface level. The min.
distances to the medium are given in the chapter
"Specifications".
• It is necessary to install the level meter so that
the bin level cannot interfere with the dead zone
when filled up to the maximum. If the measured
level interferes with the dead zone, the level meter
will not work properly.

• If the maximum surface level in the tank interferes with the dead zone, the level meter has
to be mounted into a higher installation neck. In this way, the tank can be filled nearly up
to the maximum volume. The inner neck surface has to be even and smooth (without edg-
es and welded joints); the inner edge should be rounded where the ultrasonic wave leaves
the pipe. The neck diameter should be as large as possible but the neck height should be
as low as possible. Recommended dimensions of the input neck are given in Fig. 4.

• If the emitted acoustic signal of the level meter is affected by near objects (roughness on
walls of the tank, various partitions, mixers etc.), it is necessary to map false reflections
by activating the mode "TEACHING". In case of installed mixers, it is necessary to put the
mixers to position under the level meter (direct the mixer paddle to the ultrasonic signal
beam) (Fig. 5 and 6).

Fig. 5: False echo from obstacles in the tank Fig. 6: False echo from the mixer paddle

• Do not install the level meter in or above the filling point (Fig. 7).

Fig. 7: Level meter installation outside the influence of filling

• In case the level of bulk solids is measured,
the measurement range is reduced Due to horn
adapter
absorption of acoustic waves by a bulk me-
dium, shortening of the measuring range
occurs by up to 50% depending on the grain
size. We therefore recommend selecting a
level meter with greater range than the max-
imum range of measuring the medium. It is
also appropriate to use a directional horn
(see image 8), which reduces the shorten-
ing of the measuring range, because it bet-
ter concentrates acoustic energy while pre-
serving the same beam angle, and improves
the sensitivity when receiving the reflected
echo. We recommend to consult the use with
the manufacturer.

Fig. 8: Level meter installation in silo or hopper

• During filling, mixing and other processes, foam

can arise on the surface level of the measured liquid.
The foam considerably absorbs the ultrasonic sig-
nal which might cause malfunction of the level meter
(Fig. 9). For such cases, it is necessary to set up "SENSITIV-
ITY" mode to "high" or contact the manufacturer if need.
In case of a thin layer of foam, it is also possible to use
the directional horn for improving receipt of the reflec-
ted echo.

• Scattering or attenuation of Fig. 9: Foam on the surface

the ultrasonic signal can result
if the surface level has been
moderately stirred or rippled
(by a mixer, coming liquid etc.).
It can result in reduction of the
measurement range or unreli-
able function of the level meter
(Fig. 10).
• Rotating mixer blades can cause
that the surface is stirred, which
results in false reflections of the
ultrasonic signal from the surface
level and unreliable operation of
the level meter (Fig. 13).(obr. 11).
For a rippled or swirling level,
you can use the directional Fig. 10: Moderately stirred Fig. 11: Intensely stirred surface
horn to eliminate scattering of surface
the ultrasonic signal.

• If the level sensor is mounted to ventilation
bottlenecks and places with ba- holes
rriers, or near uneven walls or
the filling area, where the tran-
sleeves for
smission signal could be dis-
mounting
torted, we recommend using a
guide tube (acoustic horn). The
tube must be made from a sin-
gle material with a smooth inner
surface (see image 12a, 12b ).
The minimum diameter of the
pipe shall be dimension "h"
as shown in the table below.
After installing, you must perform
the procedure "TEACHING". We
recommend consulting with the
manufacture on the construction
of the guide tube.

• The level meter must not be installed in places with direct solar radiation and must be
protected against weather effects. If the installation in places with direct solar radiation is
inevitable, it is necessary to mount a shielding cover above the level meter(Fig. 13).
• It is suitable to run the cable under a cable bushing (obliquely down in slack) according to
Fig. 14 to prevent penetration of humidity. Then the rain and condensing water can flow
off freely.
• The cable bushing and connector have to be sufficiently tightened to prevent penetra-
tion of humidity.

7. Electrical connection

The level meter is connected to consequential (evalu-

ating) device with a suitable cable with the outer
diameter of 6 to 8 mm using screw terminals located
under the display module. The recommended cross
section of cores for the current version 2 x 0,5 ÷ 0,75
mm2 and for the version with Modbus communication
2 x 2 x 0,25 mm2 (twisted pair, shielded). Plus pole
(+U) is connected to the terminal (+), minus pole (0 V)
to the terminal (-) and the shielding (only for shielded Fig. 16: Wiring diagram of the level meter
cables) to the terminal ( ). Communication wires A with current output ULM-70 _-_-_- I
and B of the line RS-485 (for version "M" - Modbus)
are connected to the terminals A and B.

Procedure to connect the cable to the level meter:
1. Unscrew the nut of the upper transparent lid.
2. Take the upper edge of the display module and
take it out carefully by mild swinging up. Terminal block

3. If you cannot grasp the module, you can use

a small screwdriver. Insert it as far as the seam
and use from several sides to slightly lift the
module. Fig. 17: Inside view of screw terminals of the level
meter with current output ULM-70_-_-_-I
4. Release the cable outlet and thread the stripped
supply cable in.
5. Connect the cable to the screw terminals ac-
cording to the diagram in Fig. 17 or 18. Firmly
tighten the terminals and the cable outlet.
6. If the level meter with Modbus is involved as a
terminal for RS-485, we recommend (to avoid
reflections on the line) to connect 120Ω termi-
nation resistor. This is done by moving a small

Data connection RS-485 / MODBUS:
Maximum distance of the module from the continuous line (length of T segment) is 3 m (fig. 35).
At the end units, it is necessary to connect terminating resistors Rz 120 Ω, whilst the terminating
resistors must not be connected on the continuous units(fig. 35).
The cable must be a shielded twisted pair with a core cross-section of 0.35 .. 0.8 mm2 with an imped-
ance of approximately 120 Ω.
The cable shielding is connected to a shielding clamp on the connector of line RS485 and is con-
nected with the clamp of the PE switchboard (direct grounding) only at a single point.
In the event that the RS-485 line is lead outside of one lighting arrester, it is necessary to protect it
via suitable overvoltage protection.
In the event of communication problems caused by strong interference, it is appropriate to install
the system inside a metal switchboard and to install the strong interference sources (e.g. frequency
converters) away from this switchboard.

Electrical connection can only be made when de-energized!

The source of the power voltage must comprise of a stabilised safe low power source with
galvanic separation. In the event that a switch-mode power supply is used, it is essential that
its construction effectively suppresses common mode interference on the secondary side. In
the event that the switch-mode power supply is equipped with a PE safety terminal, it must
be unconditionally grounded! Spark-safe devices type ULM–70Xi must be powered from
a spark-safe power source meeting the above-mentioned requirements.
Due to the possible occurrence of an electrostatic charge on the non-conductive parts of the
sensor, it is necessary to ground all sensors intended for use in environments with an explosion
hazard ULM-70Xi. This is done using the screw located on the head of the level gauge under
the cable gland. Connect the screw directly at the point of installation of the level gauge to
the conductive tank or to a conductive grounded structure.
In the event that the sensor is installed in an outdoor environment at a distance greater than 20
m from the outdoor switchboard, or from an enclosed building, it is necessary to supplement
the electrical cable leading to the sensor with suitable overvoltage protection.

The mode serves for suppressing false reflections resulting from reflection of the ultra-
sonic signal from roughnesses on walls of the tank, various partitions, mixers or other obsta-
cles. The sensor starting this mode detects false reflections and save them in the memory.
Then these false reflections will not affect the subsequent measurement (they are masked).
Before starting the mode it is necessary to empty the tank as much as possible (pref-

MEDIUM TEMPERATURE
The level meter is equipped with automatic temperature compensation. If for instance in
the tank there is a difference of 10°C between the temperature of the measured material
(medium) and the temperature at the mounting site of the level meter (see the mode "DIA-
GNOSTICS, page 20), the measuring accuracy will be reduced by around 1% of the set range. If
this function is activated, this temperature difference can be compensated. If in the tank (open
channel) is a big difference between the temperature of the measured medium (liquid) and
temperature in the place of installation of the ULM (see mode, "DIAGNOSTICS" page 20), it is
advised to improve the precision of the measurement by the zone temperature compensation.
Otherwise, this mode is not necessary to run.

medium temperature and the temperature at the installation place of the level meter. With
such an average temperature it counts in calculating of the velocity of acoustic waves propaga-
tion and for determination of the level position.

20. Packaging, shipping and storage

The device DLM–35 is packaged in a polyethylene bag, and the entire consignment is placed into a
cardboard box. A suitable filler material is used in the cardboard box to prevent mechanical damage
during transport. Remove the device from the packaging only just before using, thereby protecting it
from potential damage.
A forwarding company will be used to ship goods to the customer. Upon prior agreement, ordered goods
can be picked up in person at company headquarters. When receiving, please check to see that the
consignment is complete and matches the order, or to see if any damage has occurred to the packaging
and device during transport. Do not use a device clearly damaged during transport, but rather contact
the manufacturer in order to resolve the situation.
If the device is to be further shipped, it must be wrapped in its original packaging and protected against
impact and weather conditions.
Store the device in its original packaging in dry areas covered from weather conditions, with humidity
of up to 85 % without effects of chemically active substances. The storage temperature range is -20°C
to +60°C.

Level gauges (sensors) of ULM-70_- 02, 06, 10, 20 type variants are equipped with protective
caps to prevent damage to the ultrasonic sensor. The cover must be removed during operation!
If possible, remove the cover after installation. If the technology does not allow it, remove the
cap just before installation. Store the cover after removal! If the level gauge (sensor) has to
be handled again, the cap must be placed back on. If handling without the protective cap is
detected, the level gauge/sensor will be regarded as mechanically damaged.
