GENERAL SAFETY AUTHORIzEd pERSONNEl All instructions described in the document must be performed by authorized and qualified service personnel only. Before installing the unit, please read these instructions and familiarize yourself with the requirements and functions of the device. The required personal protective equipment must always be worn when servicing this device. -
Page 7: Product Description
III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FUNCTION The MP Series meter measures the level of bulk solids in the storage vessels without physical contact to the The level meter transmits microwaves at constant intervals and receives echoes (reflection of transmitted waves) from the surface of the material under measurement. The time difference between the transmission and reception of the microwave is processed by microcomputer to accurately determine the level of stored materials. -

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION WARNINg: REMOVE pOWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE INSTAllINg, REMOVINg, OR MAKINg AdJUSTMENTS. gUIdElINES • The measurement range and accuracy are guaranteed only when the antenna is pointed at an angle perpendicular to the material surface, and there is no presence of airborne dust, vapor, and agitated foam. - Page 9 • Do not install the sensor close to the material fill pipe. • Do not install any interfering instruments within the beam angle because reflections from beams, pipes, and other supports within the tank will cause false echoes. •...

Page 13: Measurement Span
MEASUREMENT SpAN Sets measurement span corresponding to the process level of 100% and 0%. Distance from level meter measuring reference point to material surface. Percent is equal to the amount of current at each level. 100% cannot be zero; must be set to least 11.8 in. (30 cm). -
Page 14: Dampening
Set the duration for the damping filter. The damping filter will smooth the response of a sudden change in the level. The time can be set between 0 and 999 seconds. Keep in mind that the update time of the display and output will be longer, but the sensor will react to changes with a delay. -

Page 18: Reset
RESET There are two reset options. Use “Measuring reset” to restart measurement without affecting parameters. Use “Parameter reset” to reset parameters to the default settings. NOTE: Parameter Reset • Parameter reset returns various parameters to instrument default. Please take note of current settings before execute parameter reset. -
Page 19: Current Output Test
CURRENT OUTpUT TEST Allows you to select a simulation value in order to test the functioning of the current output. NOTE: When you are ready to end the simulation, click on ‘Esc’ to return the instrument to the actual level measurement. -
