SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
This Series of Liquid Level Detection systems are ideal, low cost ultrasonic  
liquid level detection systems for many applications. They operate in a broad  
spectrum of viscous to light liquids.  
It uses proven ultrasonic technology with a sensor fabricated completely from  
316 Stainless Steel, which allows it to operate in virtually any liquid.  
Sensitivity adjustment allows the monitoring of percentage solids in the contents  
of the liquid. Its small size standard 3/4” NPT mounting fitting, and ability to be  
installed vertically or horizontally makes it the perfect choice for new or existing  
applications.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
2
The Level switches operates using ultrasonic sound wave propagation. Ultrasonic  
sound waves are greatly attenuated when transmitted through air. Conversely,  
when liquid is present, transmission of the sound waves is greatly enhanced. The  
electronic control unit, either integral or remote to the sensor, generates electrical  
signals that are converted to bursts of ultrasonic energy at the sensor. The ultra-  
sonic bursts are transmitted across the liquid sensing gap of the sensor. Upon  
receipt of a valid signal at the receiver, the solid state electronics generate a “data  
enable” condition indicating liquid is present. This signal energizes a relay and\or  
provides an output condition.  
INSTALLATION  
3
GENERAL  
All units are easy to install. A sensor with an integral electronic control unit or a  
sensor with a remote control unit can be mounted in any position or orientation  
desired.  
Make sure that all wiring, conduit and electrical fittings conform to local electrical  
codes for the location selected.  
VISUAL INSPECTION  
Unpack the control unit and sensor assemblies. Visually inspect them for any  
damage. Advise Cosense immediately if either assembly is damaged.  
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL CHECK  
Before installing the unit, a simple operational checkout should be performed as  
follows:  
WARNING: In a hazardous environment never open the housing cover or con-  
nect the power leads without first disconnecting the electrical power at its  
source.  
1. Fill a container with liquid.  
2. Open the control unit housing cover and connect the power to the control unit  
(see appropriate wiring diagram for your unit).  
3. Apply power from the source.  
4. Place the sensor in the liquid. The relay should energize, or output will switch  
to 20.0±1.0mA.  
5. Remove the sensor from the liquid. The relay will de-energize or output will  
switch back to 4.0±1.0mA indicating that the system is functioning properly.  
If you do not experience the results indicated in Steps 4 and 5, contact  
Cosense immediately.  
6. Disconnect the power to the control unit.  
7. Proceed to final installation.

FINAL INSTALLATION

CONTACT MODELS  
Follow the instructions below:  
1. Drill a suitable hole in the vessel or pipe wall and tap for 3/4” NPT. If this  
walled vessel or material is not suitable for threading, weld or braze a bush-  
ing to accept the sensor.  
2. Screw the sensor in the threaded section and make sure that there is a good  
seal. Use a pipe compound or sealing tape compatible with the materials and  
avoid excessive tightening.  
3. Run the power and control wiring cable to the electronic control unit.  
Observing all applicable electrical codes and proper wiring procedures.  
CONTROL UNIT  
Refer to the typical installation diagram and control unit dimensions when  
installing the control unit. Follow steps 1 and 2 below for remote mounted elec-  
tronic units. Steps 3 through 7 are common for both the integral electronic units  
and remote electronic units.  
1. Mount the remote control unit on any suitable wall, panel, etc. making sure  
there is adequate clearance for wiring.  
2. Remove the PC board by removing the screws. Drill a suitable size hole in the  
control unit housing for a conduit fitting (if so required).  
3. Remove the cover from housing. To complete wiring, either leave or remove  
the electronics printed circuit board in the housing on remote units and  
remove the encapsulate electronics in integral units.  
CAUTION: Never remove unit from a vessel with power and/ or output  
control cables connected to the electronic control unit inside the housing  
to avoid cable damage.  
4. Wire the unit as desired. Refer to the wiring diagram inside the cover.  
Note: All wiring, conduit and fittings should conform to local electrical  
codes. In a hazardous location, a conduit seal should be installed within  
18 inches of the control unit housing. Use a drain seal in vertical conduit  
run to prevent condensation from entering the control unit. OMEGA  
assumes no responsibility for improperly wired units.  
5. Replace the printed circuit board, if removed, or the encapsulated electronics.  
Make certain that the wires are dressed carefully to prevent pinching between  
the cover and the housing.  
6. Replace the housing cover.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE  
(IF REQUIRED, OTHERWISE DO NOT ADJUST THE POTENTIOMETER -  
LVUC10)  
After the installation is complete, the system must be calibrated for the proper  
operation.  
1. Connect the sensor cable to electronics at Jacks J1 and J2.  
2. Connect power as per wiring diagram.  
3. Turn the power on.  
4. Allow the liquid or sludge to rise above the sensing point, adjust the poten-  
tiometer clockwise, until the relay is energized or output will switch to  
20.0+1.0 mA. Turn the potentiometer one more turn clockwise.  
5. Allow the liquid or sludge to fall below the sensing point, relay should be de-  
energized or output will switch back to 4.0+1.0 mA. If not, turn the poten-  
tiometer counter clockwise until the relay is de-energized. Turn the poten-  
tiometer counter clockwise one half turn.  
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for a final adjustment.  
8. Unit is now calibrated. When the liquid level is above the sensing point, the  
relay will be energized or output will switch to 20.0±1.0 mA. When the liq-  
uid level is below the sensing point, the relay will be de-energized or output  
will switch back to 4.0±1.0 mA.

MAINTENANCE  
6
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE  
Electronics are constructed with solid state components and are epoxy encapsu-  
lated. Periodically check and clean the sensor when used with liquids which  
cause a coating build up on the sensor. No other maintenance is required.  
CLEANING  
If the pipe or vessel to which the unit is mounted is to be steam cleaned or  
cleaned with abrasive detergents, remove the entire unit before cleaning by:  
1. Disconnecting the power at the source.  
2. Opening the housing cover.  
3. Removing the power and control wiring cable.  
4. Unthreading the sensor.  
To reinstall, follow the installation procedures.  
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION  
Should the system malfunction, notify Omega immediately.
