Tripper Switch Setting

Before RUN mode entry, set the AiRanger DPL Plus Tripper switch (immediately above
the mA output terminals) in the TRIP position, rather than the NORM position.
With the PLC disabled, enter the RUN mode (or perform a Reading Simulation, P920).
When satisfied with system performance and programming, connect mA Output 1 to the
PLC.
The Reading displayed when the tripper car is at the near stop is 0.00 ft and 275 ft at the
far end stop (distance from the Span (P007) reference point).
Note that (if used) Relay Setpoints (P112/P113) and mA Setpoints (P210/P211) are
referenced to the Transducer 1 face when the tripper car is at the far end stop. (Enter
setpoint values based on the tripper car travel from far.)
For a completely automated Tripper Car system, position the Tripper Car via the PLC,
based upon bunker material level, as monitored by a separate level measurement system
(e.g. Siemens Milltronics AiRanger XPL Plus).

Application Assistance

The preceding examples describe only a few ways in which the AiRanger DPL Plus can
be applied to process measurement requirements.
The AiRanger DPL Plus can be used to monitor almost any process (within the
temperature, measurement range, and chemical immunity capabilities of the system)
where a distance measurement or determination of presence vs. lack of presence of an
object is desired.
