Introduction

The Probe is an ultrasonic level monitor combining sensor and electronics in a single package. It is

designed to measure liquid levels in open or closed vessels. The process part (sensor) is PVDF or

ETFE, allowing The Probe to be used in a wide variety of industries, especially food and chemical.

The sensor houses the ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing element. The Probe emits a

series of ultrasonic pulses from the transducer. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from the material

and sensed by the transducer. The echo is processed by The Probe using Siemens Milltronic’s

proven ‘Sonic Intelligence’ techniques. Filtering is applied to help discriminate between the true

echo from the material, and false echoes from acoustical and electrical noises and agitator blades in

motion. The time for the pulse to travel to the material and back is temperature compensated and

then converted into distance for display, mA output.

Installation

Environmental

The Probe should be mounted in an area that is within the temperature range specified and that is

suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. The front lid should be accessible to

allow programming, wiring and display viewing.

It is advisable to keep The Probe away from high voltage or current runs, contactors and SCR control

drives.

Location

Notes:

• This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area may cause interference to several frequency based

communications.

• The Probe is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual.

Locate the Probe so that it

will have a clear sound path

perpendicular to the liquid

Intrinsically Safe Model

FM (reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A)

Under the entity evaluation concept, The Probe has the following characteristics :

Definition :

The Entity Concept allows interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to associated apparatus

not specifically examined in such combination. The criteria for interconnection is that the voltage

and current which intrinsically safe apparatus can receive and remain intrinsically safe, considering

faults, must be equal or greater than the voltage (Voc or Vt) and current (Isc or It) levels which can

be delivered by the associated apparatus, considering faults and applicable factors. In addition, the

maximum unprotected capacitance (Ci) and Inductance (Li) of the intrinsically safe apparatus,

including interconnecting wiring, must be equal to or less than the capacitance and inductance

which can be safely connected to associated apparatus.

FM / CSA (reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A)

Approved dust tight and water tight conduit seals are required for Class II, Div. 1, Gr. E, F, G, and

outdoor Type 4 / NEMA 4X / IP65 locations.

The maximum voltage of the non-intrinsically safe apparatus must not exceed 250 V rms.

Use only intrinsically safe barriers as listed.

Note: Reference drawing 1-8600016Z-DX-A is available on the product page of our

website at www.siemens.com/theprobe. Go to More Info / Installation drawings and

scroll to Connection Drawings.

Operation

Start Up

Calibration

Calibration: Reference Method

• Adjust the material level (or target) to the desired distance from the sensor face.

• Press the “4” or “20” key (as appropriate) to view the stored distance associated with that mA

output value.

• Press the key a second time to set the new distance reference.

• After viewing or calibrating, Probe operation automatically reverts to the Run mode (6 sec). The

calibration value is referenced from the face of The Probe sensor, in the units displayed.

Press “4”

Press “4” again 4 mA calibration

• With The Probe correctly installed (or

aimed at a wall 0.25 to 5 m away), apply

power.

• The Probe starts up displaying the

following:

units

LOE / fault

operation status

‘4’ key

‘20’ key

• It then defaults to the Run mode, which is the measurement

reading of the distance from the transducer face to the

material level in the units indicated:

• If the default display differs from that shown, refer to

Operation Status on page 8.

The calibration of the mA output may be done such

that its span will be either proportional or inversely

proportional to the material level.

Note: The 4 and 20 mA levels may be calibrated in

any order.

20 mA calibration

Operation Status

The logo will change from full to partial to indicate operation status. After the `Waiting' period, the `?'

icon will appear for an `LOE / FAULT' indication. When a valid echo is again received, a `Good'

indication will resume. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 12.

Adjustments

There are several operating adjustments that can be made to The Probe.

To access the operating adjustments, simultaneously press the "4" and "20" keys until the desired

adjustment is obtained. A viewing sequence of the stored value is automatically initiated. During this

time the value can be changed by pressing either the "4" or "20" key. After viewing or changing,

operation automatically reverts to the Run mode (6 sec).

Calibration, Scrolling Method

The 4 and 20 mA calibration values can be selected where reference levels, either from the material

in the vessel or from a target, cannot be provided. This method can also be used to trim the output

levels obtained by the Reference Method (see page 7).

To change the stored calibration value, obtain the `c 4' or `c 20' display. The calibration value may be

increased by pressing the "20" key or decreased by pressing the "4" key. When the display has

scrolled to the desired value, stop pressing the key. The display automatically reverts to the Run

mode (6 sec).

Press “20”
