Safety Messages The Echotel Model 910 is designed for use in Category II, Pollution Degree 2 installations. Follow all standard industry procedures for servicing electrical and computer equipment when working with or around high voltage. Always shut off the power supply before touching any components. Although high voltage is not present in this system, it may be present in other systems. Electrical components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To prevent equipment damage, observe safety procedures when working with electrostatic sensitive components. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 51-604 Echotel Model 910 1.0 Introduction Echotel Model 910 Level Switches utilize ultrasonic contact technology for measuring level in clean liquid applications. 1.1 Principle of Operation The Model 910 Level Switch uses ultrasonic energy to detect the presence or absence of liquid in a transducer gap. The basic principle behind ultrasonic contact technology is that high-frequency sound waves are easily transmitted across a transducer gap in the presence of a liquid medium, but are severely attenuated when the gap is dry. The Model 910 uses an ultrasonic frequency of 3 MHz to perform this liquid level measurement in a wide variety of process media and application conditions. The transducer uses a pair of piezoelectric crystals that are encapsulated in epoxy at the tip of the 316 stainless steel transducer. The crystals are made of a ceramic material, that vibrates at a given frequency when subjected to an applied voltage. The transmit crystal converts an electrical signal from the Model 910 electronics into an ultrasonic signal. When liquid is present in the gap, the receive crystal is able to sense the ultrasonic signal from the transmit crystal and convert it back to an electrical signal. This signal is sent to the electronics to indicate the presence of liquid in the transducer gap. When there is no liquid present, the ultrasonic signal is attenuated, and is not detected by the receive crystal. Ultrasonic transducer Transmit crystal Receive crystal Ultrasonic signal transmission across transducer gap Figure 1 2.0 2.1 Installation Unpacking Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within 24 hours. Check the contents of the packing slip and purchase order. Check and record the serial number for future reference when ordering parts.

These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments. The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge. Ship and store circuit boards in anti-static bags. If an antistatic bag is not available, wrap the board in aluminum foil. Do not place boards on foam packing materials. Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended. Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch components or connector pins. Make sure that all electrical connections are completely made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equipment to a good, earth ground. Preliminary Operational Check After unpacking and before installation, perform the following operational check on the unit in a nonhazardous area: Apply proper operating voltage to terminals L1 and L2/N. Power supply ground should be connected to the green ground screw in housing base. Fill a suitable container with liquid. Place transducer gap in the liquid. The relay output should actuate. Remove transducer from the liquid. The relay output should de-actuate. In case of malfunction, consult Section 3.1, Troubleshooting on page 8. • • • • 2.3 1. 2. 3. 4. Caution: This unit contains CMOS electronics which may become damaged by static electricity. Do not touch any semiconductor devices unless you are properly grounded. 4 51-604 Echotel Model 910 2.4 Mounting Filling line Low alarm High alarm Gap must be turned vertical High alarm Pump protection Top View of Horizontal Mounting Pump Low alarm Figure 2 Conduit connection Typical Mounting Orientations Never tighten by turning housing 3 4 " NPT Use wrench here thread Figure 3 Vertical Mounting Gap must be turned vertical to allow medium to fall through Install so that wrench flats are vertical Model 910 level switches are shipped as integral units with the electronics assembled to the transducer. They may be mounted in a variety of positions as shown in Figures 2 through 5. Proper orientation of the transducer gap will provide maximum performance in difficult applications. When the switch is mounted horizontally, the transducer gap must be turned vertical to allow proper drainage of the liquid media. See Figures 2 and 4. Screw transducer into the opening using pipe compound or thread tape. If flanged, bolt unit to mating flange with proper gasket. Tank wall Figure 4 Horizontal Mounting Gap must extend 1" (25 mm) beyond end of nozzle Caution: Never tighten unit on the tank connection by turning the housing. Use a wrench on the transducer mounting nut flats. Use thread tape or suitable pipe compound on the threads. Do not overtighten. When installed in a nozzle or pipe, the transducer gap must extend into the tank at least one inch beyond the inside tank wall. Refer to Figure 5.

Use of 14–22 AWG wire is recommended. NOTE: Observe all applicable electrical codes and proper wiring procedures. 1. Make sure the power is turned off. 2. Unscrew and remove the housing cover. 3. Prevent moisture seepage into housing by installing an approved seal-drain fitting in the conduit run leading to the unit. 4. Route wires into housing. 5. Connect ground wire to green ground screw located in the base of the housing. DO NOT proceed until ground connection is made. 6. After grounding is complete, connect the power leads to proper terminals as follows: VAC Units VDC Units L1, L2/N +, – Caution: In hazardous areas, do not power the unit until the conduit is sealed and the enclosure cover is screwed down securely. 7. Dress wiring to ensure no interference or contact with cover or circuit board components. TB1 Power Wiring 6 51-604 Echotel Model 910 2.5.2 Relay Model 910 switches have a number of possible relay wiring options. The table below lists the relay contact positions for all possible combinations of power failure, condition of the transducer gap, and fail-safe jumper position. The user must decide which combinations constitute fail-safe and alarm conditions, and then select the appropriate relay wiring and fail-safe position. 1. Run relay output wiring to the terminal blocks labeled TB2 and TB3. Ensure that the load to be controlled is within the relay’s rated capacity as shown in Section 3.3.2, Electrical on page 10. 2. Select high or low fail-safe using the P1 jumper.

They will be rebuilt or replaced promptly. Controls returned under our service policy must be returned by Prepaid transportation. Magnetrol will repair or replace the control at no cost to the purchaser (or owner) other than transportation if: 1. Returned within the warranty period; and 2. The factory inspection finds the cause of the claim to be covered under the warranty. If the trouble is the result of conditions beyond our control; or, is NOT covered by the warranty, there will be charges for labor and the parts required to rebuild or replace the equipment. In some cases it may be expedient to ship replacement parts; or, in extreme cases a complete new control, to replace the original equipment before it is returned. If this is desired, notify the factory of both the model and serial numbers of the control to be replaced. In such cases, credit for the materials returned will be determined on the basis of the applicability of our warranty. No claims for misapplication, labor, direct or consequential damage will be allowed. Return Material Procedure So that we may efficiently process any materials that are returned, it is essential that a “Return Material Authorization” (RMA) number be obtained from the factory, prior to the material’s return. This is available through a Magnetrol local representative or by contacting the factory. Please supply the following information: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Company Name Description of Material Serial Number Reason for Return Application Any unit that was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance with OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must accompany material that was used in any media. All shipments returned to the factory must be by prepaid transportation. All replacements will be shipped F.O.B. factory.
