How to connect a Sensor in the "Sensor Setup" 3
1 How to connect a Sensor in the "Sensor Setup"
How to connect a Sensor in the "Sensor Setup"
You have to connect physically the sensor you want to connect to the Geonext
system (the sensor needs to be defining first in the Rig Builder to be able to connect
it).
Once the sensor is connected open the 'tree'
Select in the tree the kind of sensor you want to connect.

Probe Level Sensor ( ultrasonic ) 9
2.1 Overview TML
START-UP
When the PROBE is connected, the start-up display is (you must open the cover
to see it):
Then, the sensor will display the distance from the transducer face to the material
level (a wall for example) in the unit selected:
The graphic portion of the display gives you a visual indication of the Probe's
operating status. Viewing this graphic can help you to properly locate and
install the Probe.
CALIBRATION
The calibration principle is to have a low signal (4 mA) for a long distance
(empty pit) and a high signal (20 mA) for a short distance (full pit)
You have two possibilities to calibrate this sensor : calibration before
installation (easiest solution) or after installation, but for both you need to
know what is the distance from the sensor face to minimum level and from
sensor face to maximum level.

10 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
A) CALIBRATION BEFORE INSTALLATION
After connecting the sensor to the system, open the sensor's cover and
put the sensor front of a wall at the same distance that the minimum
level, for example :
Pit height : 3.50 m
Distance between maximum level and sensor's face : 0.50 m
For the minimum level, you must adjust the sensor at 4.00 m (3.50+0.50)
of the wall (you must be perpendicular to the wall). When you read 4.00
m on the sensor's display, press one time on "4", the signal graphic
disappear, press again on "4" and "c 4" on the display appear. After a
short moment the distance ,4.00 for this example, will be displayed. Now
for a distance of 4.00 meters the sensor's signal will be 4 mA. You can
calibrate your Geonext system.
For the maximum level, you must adjust the sensor at 0.50 m of the wall
(you must be perpendicular to the wall). When you read 0.50 m on the
sensor's display, press one time on "20", the signal graphic disappear,
press again on "20" and "c 20" on the display appear. After a short
moment the distance ,0.50 for this example, will be displayed. Now for a
distance of 0.50 meters the sensor's signal will be 20 mA. You can
calibrate your Geonext system.

B) CALIBRATION AFTER INSTALLATION
For this solution you must have a empty pit.
When your sensor is installed and connected, open the cover and read
the distance shows on the display. Press one time on "4", the signal
graphic disappear, press again on "4" and "c 4" on the display appear.
After a short moment the distance ,4.00 for this example, will be
displayed. Now for a distance of 4.00 meters the sensor's signal will be
4 mA. You can calibrate your Geonext system.
To simulate a full pit, put, front and perpendicular to the sensor's face,
a reflecting surface (a piece of cardboard box for example) at the same
distance the mud will be for a full pit (0.50 m for example). Press one
time on "20", the signal graphic disappear, press again on "20" and "c
20" on the display appear. After a short moment the distance ,0.50 for
this example, will be displayed. Now for a distance of 0.50 meters the
sensor's signal will be 20 mA. You can calibrate your Geonext system.
ADJUSTMENTS
You can adjust, on the sensor's keyboard, several things.
A) You can adjust the calibration by scrolling the distance for 4 or/and 20 mA.

12 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
To adjust the distance for 4 mA, depress simultaneously the "4" and "20"
keys.
When "c 4" is on display wait 3 seconds the sensor initialises the
calibration and shows you the value for 4 mA. You can change this value
by pressing "20" key to increase this value or "4" key to decrease this
value. Then you wait 6 seconds, time for the sensor to come back in
normal mode.
If you want to do the same for 20 mA you should depress two times to
both key to have "c 20" on display.
B) You can adjust the blank space.
You can change this distance if you have interference coming from the
pits' grid for example, and increase it to a distance greater than the
distance between the sensor's face and the bottom of the grid. To adjust
the blank space, depress simultaneously the "4" and "20" keys, three
times to get "b l" on display. When "b l" is on display wait 3 seconds the
sensor initialises the calibration and shows you the actual blank space
(0.25m by default). You can change this value by pressing "20" key to
increase this value or "4" key to decrease this value. Then you wait 6
seconds, time for the sensor to come back in normal mode.
This example shows you how to adjust the value from 0.25 to 0.40m

C) You can adjust the speed of response.
You have the possibility to select different speed to adapt the sensor to
the filling (or emptying) rate.
If the sensor measurement cannot keep up with the rate of level
change, set the adjustment from "1" to "2". If The Probe still cannot
keep us with the rate of level change, set the adjustment option to "3".
Avoid choosing an option that is too fast for your application.
The speed "1" is by default.
Agitator discriminator: discriminates between agitator blades in
motion and the material (target) surface.

14 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
Filter: discriminates between false echoes from
acoustical and electrical noise and the material (target) surface.
FLS (fail-safe) timer: establishes the "waiting" period from the
time a loss of echo or operating fault condition starts until the
fail-safe default is effected.
To adjust the speed, depress simultaneously the "4"and "20" keys, four
times to get "S P" on display. Then wait 3 seconds.
When the value appears on the display, you can change it by pressing
"20" to increase the value or "4" to decrease it.
When your choice is done wait 6 seconds, time for the sensor to come
back to the run mode.
D) You can adjust the fail-safe (FLS) status.
In case a loss of echo or fault condition exceeds the waiting period, the "?"
icon appears on sensor's display and one of the following fail-safe defaults
is immediately effected.
FLS '1' is by default.

Probe Level Sensor ( ultrasonic ) 15
To adjust the fail-safe, depress simultaneously the "4" and "20" keys,
five times to get "FLS" on display. Then wait 3 seconds.
When the value appears on the display, you can change it by pressing
"20" to increase the value or "4" to decrease it.
When your choice is done wait 6 seconds, time for the sensor to come
back to the run mode.
E) You can select the unit.

16 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
To adjust the unit, depress simultaneously the "4" and "20" keys,
six times to get "Un" on display. Then wait 3 seconds. When the
value appears on the display, you can change it by pressing "20" to
increase the value or "4" to decrease it. 1 = meter 2 = foot .
When your choice is done wait 6 seconds, time for the sensor to
come back to the run mode.

Setting Geonext system for a one shape tank
Setup on the probe PL 511 :
Set the 4mA at for the distance (H+L)
Set the 20 mA at the the distance (L)
Setup In the Rig Builder
Storage System

18 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
Choose this driver:[Link].100
Setup on Calibration menu :
For 4mA the distance = 0
For 20 mA the distance = H
For example :
Tank with a surface S= 10 m2 and a height H = 2 m sensor located L
=0.5m above the tank surface.
The PL 511 will have the following values 4 mA => 2.5 m & 20 mA =>
0.5m
The transient properties : croos section will have the following value =
10m2
The Calibration will have the following value for 4 mA => 0 m & 20 mA
=> 2m

Probe Level Sensor ( ultrasonic ) 19
Setup on the probe PL 511 :
Set the 4mA at for the distance (L+H1+H2)
Set the 20 mA at the the distance (H1+H2)
Setup In the Rig Builder
Storage System
The driver for this kind of pit is different ,the name is [Link].100-multipoint
As we can enter only one surface , the calibration have to be modified to be in
accordance with the real volume.
To do this we are going to enter data which have to be computed.
We are going to use S1>S2
Setup on Calibration menu :
For 4mA = 0m
For (4+((16*H1)/(H1+H2))mA the distance = H1 m
© 2007 Geoservices
20 geoNEXT v2 - Sensor Setup
For 20 mA the distance =H1+[H2*(S2/S1)] m
For example :
Tank with a surface S1= 10 m2 , height H1 = 2 m sensor
located
S2= 4 m2 , height H2 = 1 m
L =0.5m above the tank surface.
The PL 511 will have the following values 4 mA => 3.5
m(0.5+1+2) & 20 mA => 0.5m
The transient properties : croos section will have the following
value = 10m2
The Calibration will have the following value for :
4 mA => 0 m
14.667 mA => 2m
20 mA => 2.4m
