- Page 8 Mounting the EchoSonic® II The sensor should always be mounted perpendicular to the liquid surface using the provided Viton® mounting gasket. Insure that there are no restrictions or obstacles in the path of the ultrasonic signal. Further mounting information can be found on the Flowline website at www.flowline.com. Mounting with a Tank Adapter: Select a tank adapter fitting, such as the LM52‐2890. Mounting with a Riser: As installations with tall, narrow risers can impede the acoustic signal. 2" diameter risers should be no taller than 5". Larger diameter risers should be no taller than 12". Mounting with a Side Mount Bracket: Use Flowline's LM50‐1001 side mount bracket. ...
- Page 9 Mounting with a Stand‐Pipe: A stand‐pipe may be used to dampen turbulence, separate surface foam from the point of measurement or increase performance in heavy vapor. When mounting the sensor in a stand‐pipe, the minimum diameter of the pipe is 3”. Larger diameter pipes can be used. The pipe should be attached with a coupling and reducer bushing. The pipe length should run the measurement span and the bottom of the pipe should remain submerged at all times to prevent foam from entering the pipe. Cut the bottom end of the pipe at 45° and drill a 1/4”pressure ...
- Page 10 Wiring the EchoSonic® II After mounting the sensor, make the necessary electrical connections. A wiring diagram with specific recommendations for the sensor’s configuration can be printed from the WebCal™ program. A typical wiring diagram is shown on the next page. Red (+) & Black (‐): Red (R/+) and Black (BLK/‐) leads are for connection to a 24 VDC power supply or to a 4‐20 mA loop power source. The red and black wires can be extended up to 1,000 feet using a 22 gauge or larger wire; however do not extend the green and white wires. ...
- Page 11 Wiring the EchoSonic® II The following wiring diagram can be used when wiring to the EchoSonic® II relays. Typical Wiring Diagram Your WebCal™ Wiring Diagram may vary. General notes for electrical connections, usage and safety: Where personal safety or significant property damage can occur due to a spill, the installation must have a redundant backup safety system installed. Wiring should always be completed by a licensed electrician. Supply voltage should never exceed 28 VDC. Protect the sensor from excessive electrical spikes by isolating the power, whenever possible. The sensor materials must be chemically compatible with the liquids to be measured. Design a fail‐safe system for possible sensor and/or power failure. Never use the sensor in environments classified as Hazardous. ...
