Page 7: Chapter 2: Installation And Removal Procedures And Notes
Chapter 2: Installation and Removal Procedures and Notes • Tools Needed Tools are not necessary for installing the LPU itself. If you are using a stand pipe to mount your LPU, you will probably need tools to install the stand pipe, but not for the LPU. •... -
Page 8: Mounting Instructions
• Mounting Instructions Mounting your LPU is easy if you follow a few simple steps: • Never over-tighten the sensor. • Always screw in your sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Thread failure can be a problem if you damage threads by over-tightening them or by crossing threads. IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten! The sensor should be threaded in only hand tight. - Page 9 Figure 3.1 Along with the buttons and the display, the LPU-2127 includes a detected signal strength indicator. On the leftside of the display are bars to indicate the strength of the signal returning to the sensor (See Figure 3.2).

Page 10: Operation Modes
• Operation Modes MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS Units Range = 0-2 Default = 0 0 = feet 1 = inches 2 = mm Mode 1 is used to select the units of measurement that will be used throughout the setup process and also for display. -
Page 11: Calibration Modes
MODE DESCRIPTION PARAMETERS Response Time Range = 1-3 Default = 1 1 = 3.3 ft/min (1m/min) 2 = 15ft/min (4.5m/min) 3 = >15 ft/min (4.5/min) Mode 4 is used to select the desired response time of the sensor. The response time represents the maximum rate of change in target level that the sensor will accurately display. -
Page 12: Utility Modes
0 = Manual (user controls Sensitivity and Pulses) 1 = AutoSense (sensor controls Sensitivity and Pulses) Mode 12 activates or deactivates AutoSense. When operating with this mode active, the LPU-2127 will automatically change the sensitivity and pulses to match the application. Modes 13 and 15 limit the maximum level that sensitivity and pulses can be manipulated when operating in AutoSense. -
Page 13: Chapter 4: Maintenance
Chapter 4: Maintenance • General Care Your LPU-2127 ultrasonic sensor is very low maintenance and will need little care as long as it was installed correctly. However, in general, you should: • Avoid applications for which the sensor was not designed, such as extreme temperatures, contact with incompatible corrosive chemicals, or other damaging environments. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
• Trouble Shooting Should you have problems with your LPU-2127, here are some troubleshooting steps. • Check the received signal strength (See Figure 3.2 on page 5). If the signal strength is low, alternately increase Pulses (mode 15) and Sensitivity (mode 13) until the signal strength improves. -
Page 15: Repair And Returns
