Page 4 STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Quick Start Guide Stingray Level-Velocity Logger Remove the battery box, install 4 Alkaline D-cell batteries (included) and replace the box. Allow 10 seconds for the Stingray to activate then press the button on the face of the Stingray. The LCD display will turn On.
Page 5: Function Test
PULSAR MEASUREMENT INTRODUCTION: The Stingray Level-Velocity Logger measures and data logs level, velocity and liquid temperature in open pipes and channels. It is designed for flow surveys in sewers, streams and irrigation channels. FUNCTION TEST: 1. Connect the sensor plug to the watertight fitting on the Stingray enclosure.
Page 6: Confidence Display
STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONFIDENCE DISPLAY The Stingray includes a built-in Bargraph display. Activate the display by pressing the button on the instrument face. It will scroll between level, velocity, temperature, remaining battery power and remaining logger capacity. To conserve battery power, the display will shut Off after 1 minute.
Page 7: Installation - Sensor Location
PULSAR MEASUREMENT INSTALLATION – SENSOR LOCATION For the most accurate flow measurement possible, careful consideration should be made to the placement of the sensor in relation to flow disturbances. In general, the best accuracy will occur where flow is evenly distributed across the channel/pipe and free of turbulence.
Page 8 INSTALLATION – SENSOR LOCATION (Cont.) 2. Hydraulic Dams When the QZ02 sensor is to be mounted in front (upstream) of a hydraulic dam, or a Pulsar Measurement VD pipe dam, the sensor should be placed at least 20 inches in front of the dam.
Page 9 PULSAR MEASUREMENT INSTALLATION – SENSOR LOCATION (Cont.) 1. Flow Profile Distortion The pipe/channel in which the QZ02 sensor is mounted should be free of bends, tees, sudden changes in slope, and there should not be objects in the pipe/channel which disturb the flow profile in front of the sensor.
Page 10 STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL QZ02L VELOCITY-LEVEL SENSOR MOUNTING Mount the QZ02L sensor with the stainless steel bracket and hardware supplied. Ensure that the sensor is parallel to the water surface (check with a level). Mount with the tapered end of the sensor pointing upstream and the sensor cable pointing downstream.

STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPTIONAL PIPE BAND MOUNTING WITH QZ02L SENSOR Install the stainless steel pipe band with the sensor mounting bracket at the invert (bottom) of the pipe. Ensure that the sensor bracket is parallel to the water surface (check with a level). Mount so the tapered end of the sensor will point upstream and the sensor cable will point downstream.
Page 13: Usb Connection
PULSAR MEASUREMENT USB CONNECTION Use the USB Micro-B cable supplied with each Stingray for communication with a PC computer or laptop. GREYLINE LOGGER SOFTWARE Greyline Logger (for Windows) is supplied with each Stingray and is required to download log files and to set the logging interval of the Stingray data logger.
Page 14: Real-Time Monitor
STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL REAL TIME MONITOR Select Data Logging/Real Time Monitor ON to view ‘real-time’ level, velocity and temperature from the connected Stingray. Readings are updated every 10 seconds. Remaining Logger capacity and remaining battery power are indicated. LOGGING INTERVAL Use the Logging Settings selector to change the Stingray’s logging interval, then press the Write button to transmit the new setting to the Stingray.
Page 15 PULSAR MEASUREMENT MEMORY WRAP AROUND Click the Wrap Around On box to enable data wrap around. When the Stingray data log is full, and wrap around is enabled, the Stingray will overwrite the oldest data at the beginning of the log. This allows the Stingray to always have a record of the most recent flow events.
Page 16: Flow Calculation
STINGRAY 2.0 INSTRUCTION MANUAL FLOW CALCULATION Click Generate Flow Log from the drop drown menu to calculate flow. Greyline Logger supports flow calculation for common channel shapes: Round pipe Square channel Egg shape pipe Trapezoid channel Select the Channel Type and enter the dimensions. Level Offset should be set to 0.000 unless the sensor is elevated above the bottom of the channel or pipe.
Page 17 PULSAR MEASUREMENT FLOW CALCULATION (Cont.) SLOPE = RISE e.g.#1 WIDTH 24" e.g.#2 WIDTH 10" RUN = 0.35 m RISE 12" RISE = 0.5 m SLOPE = 1.429 SLOPE NOTE: To calculate flow for channel shapes other than Round, Square, Egg or Trapezoid, export the data (File/Export Data) and perform the flow calculation using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel and your own conversion formula.

Page 19: Field Troubleshooting
PULSAR MEASUREMENT FIELD TROUBLESHOOTING The Stingray uses an ultrasonic level sensor to determine water LEVEL and an ultrasonic Doppler sensor to measure flow VELOCITY. The QZ02L transducer combines both sensors in one housing. SYMPTOMS FAULTS SOLUTIONS Pressing display button Batteries not installed properly.

Page 21: Sensor Cleaning Instructions
PULSAR MEASUREMENT SENSOR CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE HANDLING Stingray sensors that have been immersed in sewage should be cleaned before handling. 1. Rinse sensor and cable to remove debris. 2. Immerse sensor and cable in a solution of 1 part household bleach (Javex, Clorox etc.) to 20 parts water for 5 minutes.
