MonoScan User Manual

Product catalog summary
Important Notice: This manual contains proprietary information of Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. and is intended for authorized users of MonoScan only. Reproduction or disclosure without permission is prohibited. Specifications may change without notice.
Safety Guidelines: MonoScan must be installed and operated as per the manual. Only qualified personnel should handle the device. Unauthorized modifications void the warranty.
Introduction to MonoScan: MonoScan is an ultrasonic level measurement device for liquids and solids, with a range of up to 15 meters and accuracy of 0.25%. It is available in three models: MonoScan L (liquids), MonoScan S (solids), and MonoScan O (open channels).
Specifications: The device offers 0.25% accuracy, 1 mm resolution, a 5° beam angle, automatic temperature compensation, and is housed in an IP 65 enclosure. It operates between -40°C to +70°C and requires a 4-20 mA loop current with a 12-28 VDC supply.
Installation Guidelines: Installation should meet temperature, pressure, and technical specifications. Avoid high-voltage sources and ensure proper mounting above the dead-zone area. Options include threaded or thread-free flange, or extension pipes.
Setup and Calibration: Instructions include using functions, resetting, entering tank height, configuring current output, and defining working areas. Calibration ensures accurate measurements.
Open Channel Flow Measurement: Details on selecting flow measurement settings and types of flumes/weirs for accurate open channel flow measurements.
Troubleshooting: Guidance on resolving common issues and interpreting 22mA signal error messages.
Appendix: Gas Factor Table for reference.
Installation and Setup Guide:
Electrical Connector Installation: Connect the +24V wire to Terminal 1 and the -24V wire to Terminal 2. Reassemble the connector and secure it to the MonoScan unit.
Conduit Installation: Connect the -24V wire to Terminal 1 and the +24V wire to Terminal 2. Ensure the O-ring is correctly placed before fastening the cover.
Non-Intrinsically Safe Connections: Recommendations for power supply and load resistance are provided, with specific values for different voltages.
Intrinsically Safe Connections: For hazardous area installations, follow NEC Articles 504 and 505. Suitable precautions should be taken against aggressive substances.
Power Supply Recommendations: Tables specify recommended resistor values for different power supply voltages for both non-intrinsically and intrinsically safe setups.
Setting Up and Calibrating MonoScan: MonoScan comes with default settings but can be calibrated for specific requirements. Important functions include Pr01 for resetting and Pr02 for entering tank height.
Configuring Current Output: Functions Pr04 and Pr05 allow configuration of 4mA and 20mA current outputs for level, distance, or flow measurements.
User’s Manual Summary:
Specifications and Calibration: The MonoScan device uses a 4-20mA current loop to measure the distance between the sensor and the target surface. Users can set these values through the device's menu, ensuring they are different to avoid errors.
Configuring Current Output: The Pr05 function allows setting the 20mA mark for remote monitoring. The device generates a fixed 22mA current during configuration, reverting to normal operation afterward.
Dynamic Speed Selection: The Pr06 function offers two speed settings: Low dynamic mode for slower, more accurate readings, and High dynamic mode for faster, less precise readings.
Working Area Definition: The Pr07 function allows extending the measurement range beyond the tank height to accommodate complex tank shapes.
Display Mode Selection: The Pr08 function lets users choose between displaying distance or level measurements.
Gas Compensation Factor: The Pr09 function compensates for sound velocity changes in different gases.
Restoring Default Settings: The Pr10 function resets all user-defined settings to factory defaults.
Blocking Distance Adjustment: This feature allows defining an area to ignore measurement results, useful for installations with extension pipes.
Error Message Configuration: Users can enable or disable 22mA signal error messages for Near Zone and Lost Echo conditions.
Flow Measurement Settings: The Pr00 function in MonoScan O models allows selecting preset flume/weir settings for flow measurements.
Overview: This document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for various types of flumes and weirs used in water flow measurement, adhering to both European and American standards.
Flume/Weir Types: The document lists nine types of flumes and weirs, each with specific codes and dimensions.
Troubleshooting: The manual outlines common errors encountered during the calibration of the MonoScan system.
22mA Signal Error Messages: The document details error messages related to a 22mA analog current error output signal.
Gas Factor Appendix: An appendix lists 33 gases with their respective factors for compensating sound velocity.
Installation and Setup: Instructions for installing the MonoScan system include mounting options and power supply recommendations.
