Distance from sensor to Zero level. Damping Minimum damping allows fast response to level changes. Increasing damping slows the PSL 5.0's response to level changes and is ideal to smooth the display and outputs in turbulent conditions. Damping value is shown in percent (0-99%). Some experimentation may be required to select the optimum damping value.

Page 19: Sensor Mounting/Location
GOOD SENSOR MOUNTING/LOCATION - Tank Level/Inventory Applications 90° Each PSL 5.0 Level Transmitter includes a non- contacting ultrasonic sensor. The sensor must be installed in a position to obtain unobstructed echoes from the liquid or material being measured. Mount the sensor away from pipes, ladders, or structural members which might cause continuous false echoes.

Page 21 PSL 5.0 Pump Station Level Controller ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION Locate the enclosure within 20 ft (6 m) of the sensor (500 ft -150 m optional). The enclosure can be wall mounted with the four mounting screws (included) or panel mounted with Option PM Panel Mount kit from Greyline Instruments.
Page 22: Error/Warning Messages
The PSL 5.0 will hold the display and outputs at the last reading until a new echo is received. If a redundant level sensor is connected the PSL 5.0 will seamlessly switch to the second sensor without an echo loss error message.
