Chapter 2 Installation Power Supply Requirements The SLM1000 Series operate from an AC supply of 90 –260V or DC 12/24V. All electronic products are susceptible to electrostatic shock, so follow proper grounding procedures during installation. The construction of the SLM1000 Series can be mounted easily using the thread (3/4” NPT, 1”NPT). When choosing a location to mount the XDS800/1200/1500(Sensor), bear in mind the following: •...

Outdoor and Open Vessel Installation The XDS800/1200/1500 can be simply mounted on a bracket, suitable for the application and secured using the thread located at the top of the transducer (3/4”NPT, 1” NPT). Care should be taken to ensure that the XDS800/1200/1500 are not installed in direct sunlight, in order to avoid errors in the measurement of ambient temperature.
Chapter 3 How To Use Controller Operating the Controller Display Window SLM1000 is designed to display various data at the same time by adopting 40 letter LCD. The display below shows an example of a normal operation of SLM1200S. Conditions : The distance between the sensor and bottom of the tank : 12m Current liquid level : 10m L : 10.

The table below gives details of the velocity of sound in various gaseous atmospheres In all cases the velocity indicated is that in a 100% gaseous atmosphere at 0 C. In atmospheres less than 100% it may be necessary to check the level indicated at near empty and near full and compare with the actual level, several times, then adjust the Sound Velocity accordingly to obtain an accurately displayed reading.

24) Material Temperature Weighting MATERIAL T WEIGHTING WET : 0% This option is used in conjunction with Mode 23, Material Temperature. This option determines the effect the material temperature has on the air temperature in front of the transducer. Where the temperature of the material has no effect on the air temperature.
Chapter 5 Digital Communication The SLM1000 Series provides RS232/485 digital communication interface function as option The kinds of data and its format are as follows; Output Data 1. Kinds of Output Data 1) Distance Data Distance from the sensor to the surface of measuring material. Unit is mm 2) Temperature Data This is temperature data measured by built-in temperature sensor.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting This section describes some problem symptoms, with suggestions as to what to do. Symptom What to Do Display blank, transducer not Check power supply firing. Display shows “S”, “ ERROR! “S” means there is an abrupt liquid change or an obstacle in the LOST ECHO”...
