4 And foremost it is essential that this manual be read and understood beforeinstallation and start up of the MULTIRANGER plus . As the MULTIRANGER plus requires anultrasonic transducer to make a working system, refer to the associated transducermanual as well."Applications" provides a general description of the common applications found inindustry and illustrates them with examples. It is suggested that you refer to thesub-section which most suits your application. The programming of the MultiRangerPlus can be optimized by referring to Parameter Description or Appendices \Alphabetical Parameter THE MULTIRANGER PLUSThe MULTIRANGER plus is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction MULTIRANGER plus is a multi-purpose liquid level monitoring device used inconjunction with an ultrasonic MULTIRANGER plus emits an ultrasonic pulse via the transducer.

5 The echo isreflected from the material and received by the transducer. The echo is processed bythe MULTIRANGER plus and the time at which the ultrasonic pulse hits the level or targetis extracted and compared to the time at which it was sent. The time differential isthen converted into distance, material level, volume, flow or differential level as abasis for display, relay control, analog output and well as simple level measurement, the MULTIRANGER plus was designed to handlespecific applications such as: pumped volume totaling, differential level and openchannel flow PLUSP ower: 100/115/200/230 V ac 15%, 50/60 Hz, 15 VA optional: 12 V dc model, 10 to 15 V dc, 15W 24 V dc model, 18 to 30 V dc, 15W fuse FU2, Belling Lee, L754, 4000A HRC, ceramic type, 50mA, 250V FU3, Belling Lee, L754, 4000A HRC, ceramic type, 100mA, 250 VEnvironment: location: indoor / outdoor altitude: 2000 m max ambient temp.
