Page 43: C Sensor Mounting Considerations
Appendix C Sensor mounting considerations General The ultrasonic sensor is characterized by a very narrow spread of the ultrasonic signal (3 ° - 7 ° depending on the type of sensor), which makes it possible to use the ultrason- ic sensor under very tight conditions, i.e. in narrow wells or tanks. -

Page 46: E Special Menus
Appendix Special menus Under certain circumstances it may be nec- essary to make adjustments and to make readings in the following special menus. It is recommended that only experienced users and MJK service technicians make alterations in these menus. The following menus are not protected with an access code: Bar graph read-out Active measuring range... -
Page 47: Bar Graph Read-Out
Appendix Bar graph read-out This function is used to select whether the bar graph should follow the analog output or the level read-out. Changes will not have influence on the relay settings. The bargraph follows the analog output. Note: If the mA settings are inverted (the level reference at 4 mA is set higher than the level reference at 20 mA), the bar graph will increase when the level decreases and vice versa. -
Page 48: Active Measuring Range
Appendix Active measuring range Shuttle 's measuring range is normally set automatically to ® a distance corresponding to the ultrasonic sensor's distance to zero level + 45 cm. It may become necessary to decrease the active measuring range so it corresponds to the highest and lowest possible levels in the well /tank - especially if the ultrasonic sensor is mounted above a steel grating or an opening in a well cover. -
Page 49: Response Time
Appendix Response time When the level changes, the display read-out will change accordingly with a pre-programmed delay. The response time is set to 100 mm/sec. from the factory, which means that an actual level change will not be shown in the display at a faster rate than 4 in per second. When measuring on turbulent surfaces, it may become necessary to increase the response time in order to obtain a more stable level measurement and also relay function. -
Page 50: Measuring Method (Application)
Appendix Measuring method (application) Shuttle 's high accuracy is partly obtained by controlling the ® strength of the ultrasonic pulse based on the strength of the received echo. (AP 1) When performing level measurements on foaming surfaces, granulate, sludge etc., the received echo is generally so weak that it would be better to let Shuttle send out the ®... -
Page 51: Ma Output Signal During System Error
Appendix mA output signal during system error This function determines how the mA output should act in case of a system error. System errors are most often caused by a weak or missing ultrasonic echo, but may also occur by failure of the ultra- sonic sensor or failure in Shuttle 's internal circuits. -
Page 52: Calibration Of The Level Measurement
Appendix Calibration of the level measurement If the distance of the ultrasonic sensor above the surface is known, it will be possible make a calibration of Shuttle ® level read-out. The calibration will only have influence on the level read-out - not on relay setpoints for pump control, alarms etc. -
Page 53: Offset Level Readout
Appendix Offset level readout Shuttle can display the levels with reference to a selectable ® offset level. This means that the normal zero level (when the tank is empty) is displaced up or down. Note: It is very important, that the distance from sensor to zero is set correctcly (see page 18), and that the active measuring range (see page 48) is set to a distance, that corresponds to the longest meaas-... -
Page 54: Indication Of Echo Quality
Appendix Indication of echo quality This menu is used to indicate the strength of the received ultrasonic echo. If there are frequent system errors (see page 32), this func- tion can be used to check if the ultrasonic echo is being weakened too much under the current working conditions - i.e. -
Page 55: Indication Of Signal Amplification
Appendix Indication of signal amplification This menu is used to display the amplification level of the received ultrasonic echo. The function can give an indication og the strength of the received echo. If the amplification level is low (below. 20 dB), the echo strength is good and vice versa. -
Page 56: Indication Of Time Period Without Echo
Appendix Indication of time period without echo This menu is used to display the longest time period during which Shuttle has been missing an acceptable echo, and ® also how many days has passed since this occurred. The longest time period that Shuttle has been missing an ®... -
Page 57: Select Factory Settings
Appendix Select factory settings All settings - except calibration of the level measurement - made after initial startup will be reset to factory settings with this function. The zero point setting will also be adjusted to the immediate level in the well / tank. Furthermore, the mA output is set to 4 mA at the current zero point and 20 mA at a level corres- ponding to a distance of 14 in from the ultrasonic sensor. -
Page 58: Access Code
Appendix Access code To gain acces to the remaining menus, an access code is required. Press and hold 'Escape' at least for 5 seconds: The access code can now be selected: Use the arrow keys to select… (Standard access code is 100:) …and confirm with 'ENTER': All password protected menus can now be selected. -
Page 59: Readout Of Version Numbers
Appendix Readout of version numbers Enter the access code (see page 58) and press'A': This menu is used to display version numbers for software and hardware and the unit's serial number. The hardware version number is displayed first: (Ex.: HW version 838003) Use the up-arrow to proceed. -
Page 60: Find Zero Level At Next Power-Up
Appendix Find zero level at next power-up Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'B': This menu is used to force Shuttle to start up with an auto- ® matic zero level setting at the next power-up. (See page 14.) The function is useful if ie. -
Page 61: Fixed Ma Signal
Appendix Fixed mA signal Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'C'. This menu is used to make Shuttle give out a constant 12 ® mA signal independent of the actual level readout. The function can be useful during fault finding on external equipment. -
Page 62: Investigative Measurement Intervals
Appendix Investigative measurement intervals Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'D': Shuttle will normally perform an investigative measurement ® every 5 minutes in order to ensure that the unit has not locked on a false echo - i.e. a level signal which is not the actual level. -
Page 63: System Alarm Delay
Appendix System alarm delay Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'E': Shuttle will give a system alarm (see page 32), if an accept- ® able echo has not been present within a preset period of time. If it is very important to know that the level measurement is valid at all times, the delay should eventually be decreased. -
Page 64: Averaging The Level Measurement
Appendix Averaging the level measurement Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'F': When measuring on very turbulent liquid surfaces, it may be needed to average the level changes in order to gain a more steady level readout and level signal. This menu is used to set the time from a level change is measured and until the reading will be 99 % of the level change. -
Page 65: Max. Amplification Level
Appendix Max. amplification level Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'Shift' + 'A': If Shuttle periodically has a system error and/or the level ® readout jumps to a high or low level during measuring in favourable conditions, it may be necessary to limit the ampli- fication of the received echo. -
Page 66: Min. Level For Accept Of Ultrasonic Echo
Appendix Min. level for accept of ultrasonic echo Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'Shift' + 'B': If Shuttle periodically has a system error and/or the level ® readout jumps to a high or low level during measuring in fa- vourable conditions, it may be necessary to increase the limit for accept of the ultrasonic echo. -
Page 67: Sensitivity Of The Learning Function
Appendix Sensitivity of the learning function Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'Shift' + 'C': If Shuttle periodically is locked on a false echo, even if the ® learning function has been activated (see page 28), it may be necessary to increase the sensitivity of the acoustic image that was stored in Shuttle during the learning process. -
Page 68: Changing The Access Code
Appendix Changing the access code Enter the access code (see page 58) and press 'Shift' + 'D' The actual setting is shown immediately: Use the arrow keys to select a new access code: Confirm the new setting: Shuttle is ready for a new selection of a password protect- ®... -
