All operations, which go beyond steps to install, to connect or to program the device, must be carried out by NIVUS staff only due to reasons of safety and guarantee. 3.1.2 Special Danger Notes Please note that due to the operation in the waste water field, transmitter, sen- sors and cables may be loaded with dangerous disease germs.
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Device Identification The instructions in this manual are valid only for the type of device indicated on the title page. The type ID label is wrapped around the sensor and contains the following specifications: Name and phone number of manufacturer CE label Type and serial number...
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Installation of Spare Parts and Parts subject to wear and tear We herewith particularly emphasize that replacement parts or accessories, which are not supplied by us, are not certified by us, too. Hence, the installation and/or the use of such products may possibly be detrimental to the device’s abil- ity to work.
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Functional Principle General The ultrasonic sensor sends ultrasonic impulses, where the amplitude of the sonic energy sent will exhibit reciprocally proportional decrease to the square of the measurement distance. The maximum performance is sent along a vertical line off the sensor face and the tapered border of the sonic lobe is defined at 50 % performance (-3dB).
3. Seal remaining gap between sleeve and sensor with silicone. 4. Allow approx. 48 hrs. at 20 °C (68 °F) for hardening. Fig. 4-2 Flood protection sleeve for P-Series sensors Page 14 NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors - Rev. 06 as of 29.07.2011...

Please check your delivery according to the delivery note for completeness and intactness immediately after receipt. Any damage in transit must be instantly re- ported to the carrier. An immediate, written report must be sent to NIVUS GmbH Eppingen as well.
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Installation General For electric installation the local regulations in the respective countries (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany) must be referred to. NivuMaster sensor power supply is allowed to be carried out via the NivuMaster transmitter exclusively.
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors 6.2.3 Sensor Installation During sensor installation please observe the following: Always ensure direct visibility between sensor face and the medium to be measured. Keep off obstructions, weld seams, fills and similar whenever possible. It is possible to mask out disturbances, however it makes more sense to avoid disturbances at all.

® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Installation in standpipe Numerous applications require to install the measurement in a standpipe. In these cases it is possible to install a sensor with a factory-made flange or a sen- sor in a dummy flange. In principle, the sensor blanking area shall be adhered to in case of maximum tank or basin filling level.
Connect the sensor at the respective transmitter terminal clamps according to the wiring diagram depicted below: Fig. 6-12 Connecting a P-Series ultrasonic sensor In order to extend the sensor line use a shielded 3-wire cable (e.g. LIYCY 3 x 0.75 mm²).
Overvoltage Protection Precautions For efficient sensor protection it is necessary to use overvoltage protection units on both sides if required. NIVUS recommends for sensor as well as for transmitter side overvoltage pro- tection units Type SonicPro. Fig. 6-13 Lines without overvoltage protection Fig.
® Instruction Manual NivuMaster Ultrasonic Sensors Fig. 6-15 Overvoltage protection on transmitter and sensor side Please observe the non-reversed connection of the SonicPro (p-side towards side to be protected) as well as a correct, straight wiring supply. Ground (earth) must lead to the unprotected side Initial start-up General Notes to the user...
(dust) clean the sensor face carefully with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive cleansing agents (such as thinner). For heavy pollution NIVUS recommends the use of surface-active agents. The use of abrasive cleansing agents is not allowed. If you wish to clean or dismantle the sensor please disconnect the unit from mains before.
In various countries it may be necessary to carry out regular maintenance with comparative measurements in particular applications to comply with official reg- ulations. If desired, NIVUS is going to carry out all required verifications, hydrau- lic and technical assessment, calibration, troubleshooting and repairs if an ac- cording maintenance agreement has been contracted.
