Cable routed through a conduit: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the four mounting screws holding the motherboard to the enclosure. Be careful not to damage the electronics with static electricity. Remove the motherboard from the enclosure by pulling the board straight out. Drill the required cable entry holes. Make sure conduit holes do not interfere with the lower areas on the terminal block, circuit board, or SmartLinx card.
Installing the Battery The battery (Rayovac BR2032) has a ten-year life expectancy. Please note the life expectance may be reduced by ambient temperature. If the unit loses external and battery power, a capacitor will power the RAM for about ten minutes. Notes: • Do not install the memory backup battery until the HydroRanger 200 is installed, as it begins operation immediately. • The unit is supplied with one battery.
Wiring Please note: • • • Verify that all system components are installed in accordance with instructions. Connect all cable shields to the HydroRanger 200 Shield Terminals. Avoid differential ground potentials by not connecting cable shields to ground (earth) anywhere. Keep exposed conductors on shielded cables as short as possible to reduce noise on the line caused by stray transmissions and noise pickup.
Terminal Board The terminal board on the HydroRanger 200 allows all inputs and outputs to be connected simultaneously. Note: Recommended torque on terminal clamping screws. • 0.56 - 0.79 Nm • 5 - 7 in.lbs Please do not overtighten the screws.
Transducers Warning: Hazardous voltage present on transducer terminals during operation. Run the transducer cable in a grounded metal conduit, separate from other wiring (except TS-3 temperature sensor wiring, if applicable).
Temperature Sensor Accurate temperature readings are critical to accurate level measurements because the speed of sound changes, depending on air temperature, and all Milltronics Echomax and ST-H transducers have an internal temperature sensor.
Level System Synchronization Note: The HydroRanger 200 CANNOT be synchronized with the MultiRanger Plus or the HydroRanger. When using multiple ultrasonic level monitors, be sure to run the transducer cables in separate grounded metal conduits. When separate conduits are not possible, synchronize the level monitors so that no unit transmits while another is waiting for echo reception.
Digital Communications Wiring the HydroRanger 200 for communications allows it to be integrated into a full SCADA system or an industrial LAN. The HydroRanger 200 can also be directly connected to a computer running Dolphin Plus.
Operating the HydroRanger 200 The HydroRanger has two modes of operation: RUN and PROGRAM. RUN Mode In RUN mode, the HydroRanger 200 detects material level and provides control functions. The HydroRanger 200 automatically starts in RUN mode when power is applied. System status is shown on the unit’s LCD, or on a remote communications terminal.
Icons indicating index type (Item 1) edited in PROGRAM mode: Icon Index Type measurement point or transducer relay secondary index mA input or output Readings in RUN Mode Change the displayed values with the keys on the hand programmer. All readings are shown in the Auxiliary field, except for the totalizer and P920. Key + + + ### P Operation mmmmm P 1. 2.
Status Parameters Status parameters give the operating status of the HydroRanger 200. You can access parameters with the hand programmer (see page 26) or with Dolphin Plus (see page 22). Remote SCADA system access is also possible.
Example To reference the displayed level to sea level, enter the distance in Units (P005), between Empty (P006) and sea level. (Enter a negative value if Empty is below sea level.) P006 P007 Sea Level P062 Reservoir P062 is the distance between sea level and Empty. Auxiliary Reading The Auxiliary Reading area of the LCD displays parameter values while leaving the primary reading on screen.
Setting a Specific Auxiliary Reading To display a second auxiliary reading, press Example: To set P P in RUN mode. to display current temperature, go to P731: Parameter Index Value Description P731 G 912 Shows P912–Transducer Temperature Multiple Readings During differential or average operation (P001 = 4 /5), the display scrolls sequentially through Point Numbers 1, 2, and 3. Point 3 is the difference between (or average of) Points 1 and 2.
Starting PROGRAM Mode Hand Programmer The hand programmer gives you direct access to the HydroRanger 200. Aim the hand programmer and press PROGRAM key. Note: • • The 3v battery in the hand programmer is not replacable The hand programmer is ordered separately from Siemens Milltronics. Go to www.milltronics.com for a contact near you. For your convenience, the programmer has a magnetic mounting strip on the back. Keep programmer nearby for easy access.

Dolphin Plus Use Dolphin Plus software to configure, monitor, tune, and diagnose the HydroRanger 200 from a PC or directly in the field with a laptop. Dolphin Plus is easy to install and easy to use. Just load the software from the CD onto a desktop PC or Laptop, and then set up or modify complete parameter configurations in a Windows®environment.
Dolphin Plus Toolbar Buttons The toolbar buttons provide quick access to Dolphin Plus features.
Activating the HydroRanger 200 All the instructions in the following procedures apply to the hand programmer and assume that the HydroRanger 200 is activated. 1. Power the HydroRanger 200. 2. 3. Point the programmer at the unit and press PROGRAM Press DISPLAY . .
When P000 is set to 1954, programming is enabled. To disable programming, enter another value. P000 (1954) is a fixed value password. Therefore, you should use other means to secure the HydroRanger 200 if security is a concern. Simulation P000 Lock also controls how simulations affect control relays. By default, control relays are unaffected by simulation levels. But if P000 is set to –1, they react to the simulated level. See parameters P925–P927 on page 208 for running a simulation.
Parameter Reset Returning a parameter to factory default. 1. 2. 3. Display the appropriate parameter number. Display the appropriate index value (if required). Press CLEAR . 4. Press ENTER . Master Reset (P999) Returns all parameters to original values. Use Conditions: • before initial system installation • following a software upgrade If complete reprogramming is required, use Dolphin Plus to store and retrieve parameters. When the dual point option is enabled, P999 is indexed by transducer.
Changing Parameters (Dolphin Plus) The other method for changing parameter values is with Dolphin Plus software. It lets you access the HydroRanger 200 from a PC or on site with a laptop and change HydroRanger 200 parameters. Most examples in this manual use the icons from the hand programmer but nearly all functions are also available through Dolphin Plus. Parameter Indexing Parameters are indexed when they apply to more than one input or output.
HydroRanger 200 Display The index number and the index values are displayed above the parameter indicator on the LCD. Index Value Index Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Notes • • • An indexed transducer is commonly referred to as a Point (short for ’Measurement Point’). Point Number refers to indexed transducers. To set all indexed values for a parameter to the same value, use index 0. Transducer parameters are indexed only if Operation (P001) is set to Difference (value=4) or Average (value=5).
Primary and Secondary Indexes Primary Index: relates to direct input or output and can refer to relays, communications ports, and other parameters. In parameters that allow secondary indexes, the primary index is often referred to as a point. Secondary Index: relates to previously indexed parameters where the parameter requires a second index, permitting multiple values on an indexed input or output.
Example P054 provides up to 32 breakpoint levels used with P055 (Volume Breakpoint) for universal volume calculation. The illustration indicates how you can set secondary indexes to specific functions. P054 1 [6 = 2m] A A P054 [1.6] = 2m [3 = 1.5m] B B P054 [1,3] = 1.5m C [1 = 0.75m] P054 [1,1] = .
Measurement Conditions The following information will help you configure your HydroRanger 200 for optimal performance and reliability. Response Rate The response rate of the device influences the measurement reliability. Use the slowest rate possible with the application requirements. The response rate is also important to functions connected to the filling or emptying indicators.
Relays mmmmm Relays Relays are the primary controls of external devices such as pumps or alarms. 3 Relay Number Ring indicates relay is configured The HydroRanger 200 comes with extensive control and alarm functions. Dot indicates relay is energized/deenergized General Introduction Six onboard multi-purpose relays are provided on the HydroRanger 200. Each relay may be independently assigned to one function with a corresponding status icon on the LCD.
Temperature The function goes on when the fail-safe timer expires. The function goes OFF when a valid echo is received (fail-safe timer is reset). Pump Level In pump down, the function goes on when the level rises to the ON setpoint and goes off when the level lowers to the OFF setpoint. In pump up, the function goes on when the level lowers to the ON setpoint and goes off when the level rises to the OFF setpoint. Miscellaneous Totalizer and Samplers Refer to Totalizing Pumped Volume on page 58.
Relay Status – Non Run Modes Relays mmmmm When the fail-safe timer expires, pump control relays respond as previously described. However, alarm relays will respond in the following manner: Fail-Safe Mode Fail-Safe High Fail-Safe Low Fail- Safe Hold Relay Status High Alarm ON OFF HOLD Low Alarm OFF ON HOLD Upon entering the program mode, all pump control relays will be turned OFF. Alarm relays will hold their prior status.
P111–Control Functions The control function energizes the relay coils. When the instrument is at rest (no controls operating) the relay coils are de- energized. Sets the process point at which the relay is tripped. P113–Relay OFF Setpoint Sets the process point at which the relay is reset. P115–Relay Interval Setpoint Sets length of time between starts. P116–Dead Band Sets distance above and below the bound alarm setpoints. P118–Relay Output Logic Affects relay reaction.
• • • Relays mmmmm Functions affected by setpoint are configured by parameters that determine the application requirements such as timing. P111 Pump and Control functions (see page 127 sets the function requirements. Other function parameters: P132–Pump Start Delay P133–Pump Power Resumption Delay P645–Relay Duration Relay Logic is Modified Normal operating conditions means that alarms are off and pumps are on. This can be reversed using P118–Relay Output Logic.

Backup Level Override Backup level override provides the option of overriding the ultrasonic input with another contacting point level device, for example, the Pointek CLS 200. The ultrasonic reading is fixed at the programmed switch level until the discrete input is released and the ultrasonic device makes its decisions based on the override value. Backup Level Override mmmmm Backup Level Override Parameters P064: Reading Override Enable Sets the discrete input as the source of a level reading override.
Discrete Inputs Wiring the Discrete Inputs Normal state is standard operation, with the HydroRanger 200 sensing the material level and controlling the pumps. The discrete input contacts are either normally-open or normally-closed when the system state is normal. Example: Normal state for a backup high level switch is open, and the contacts on the discrete input are wired as normally-open.
mA I/O To integrate the HydroRanger 200 with other equipment, use the mA input and outputs. Note: When a mA input parameter is accessed, a mA symbol appears in the upper left corner of the LCD display. The mA input can be used as a level measurement or can be passed on to a SCADA system.
Calibrating 4 mA Output 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect the mA receiving device to the HydroRanger 200. Put the HydroRanger 200 into PROGRAM mode. Set P911–mA Output Value to 4.0. View the mA level on the receiving device. If there is a discrepancy, use P214–4 mA Output Trim to correct the value. Press MODE and then the ARROWs to increase or decrease the trim. Repeat until the mA level on the receiving device equals 4.0 mA. The unit is now calibrated for 4 mA for the receiving device.
Volume Volume is used in two situations: 1. Calculate and display volume instead of level. For programming all setpoint parameters in terms of volume units rather than level units. Calculate pumped volume to accomplish the following: • Totalize the volume of material that is pumped out of the wet well 2. If you require this functionality, please contact your local Siemens Milltronics representative at www.milltronics.com.
Characterization Chart If you cannot use a pre-defined tank, then use one of the universal tank shapes and program the characterization curve. 1. 2. 3. Plot a volume to height chart. Usually a tank supplier will provide this chart. However, if you have a custom-built wet well then you will need access to complete drawings of the well or accurate measurements. Enter the curve values from this chart into P054 and P055. Ensure extra points are added around sharp transitions in the wet well volume (e.

Tank shape is Flat Bottom. Max volume is 17.6m3 or 17,600 liters.
Setting a Pump to Run On When you need to pump below the normal OFF setpoint, use P130 (Pump Run-On Interval) and P131 (Pump Run-On Duration) to control this event. Example: The pump connected to Relay Three is set to pump for an extra 60 seconds every five times it is triggered. Index P130 3 Value Description 5 P131 3 60 Wait for Relay Three to pump five times and then run on. Run on for 60 seconds.
Example : A range of 0.5 meters is used to vary the setpoint. The randomly-selected setpoints are always inside the ON and OFF setpoints. Level Setpoint ON Wall Cling Value Pump Control mmmmm Random Setpoint Range Level Setpoint OFF Grouping Pumps You can group pumps and use the same pumping algorithm separately on each group. If you specify different pumping algorithms then the pumps are already grouped by algorithm and you do not need to use this parameter.
Example: The flush valve connects to Relay Four and the watched pump is on Relay One. Parameter Index P170 P171 P172 P173 G G G G Value Description 1 3 10 120 Watch Relay One to count pump cycles. Open the flush valve for 3 cycles. Use the flush value every 10 cycles. Open the flush valve for 120 seconds. Relay Controlled by Communications Parameter Index P111 5 Value Description 65 Sets Relay Five to communications control.
Rake (Screen) Control Screens or rakes are mounted on the inflow channel of the wastewater treatment plant to prevent debris from clogging the equipment. When material builds up on the screen, a level differential is created, and the water level is higher in front of the screen than behind it. When this differential reaches the programmed setpoint, the HydroRanger 200 activates a relay to operate mechanical rakes that clean the screen and ensure a steady flow.
Setting the Common Parameters Prerequisite: Substitute the details of your application in place of the sample values provided. If you are bench testing the unit, set your test values to be the same as the sample values.

External Totalizers and Flow Samplers External totalizers are simple counters which count the number of relay clicks produced by the HydroRanger 200. This is generally used to keep track of OCM or pumped volume totals. Note that both of these values are also stored in the HydroRanger 200 and are available through communications. Flow samplers are devices which take a sample of liquid when triggered by a relay click. These samples are used to monitor water quality over time.

HydroRanger 200 Communications HydroRanger 200 Communication Systems The HydroRanger 200 is an integrated level controller capable of communicating process information to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, via a serial device such as a radio modem, leased line, or dial-up modem. HydroRanger 200 The standard HydroRanger 200 supports the following two communication protocols: Modbus Modbus is an industry standard protocol used by SCADA and HMI systems.
Communication Systems Communications mmmmm The HydroRanger 200 is capable of communicating with most SCADA systems, PLCs, and PCs. The supported protocols are: • Modbus RTU/ASCII – base unit on RS-232 or RS-485 transport • Profibus-DP – optional SmartLinx® module • Remote I/O – optional SmartLinx module • DeviceNet – optional SmartLinx module Communication Ports The HydroRanger 200 comes with two communication ports on the base unit.

Modbus Register Map Features affecting volume, mA input, and Average or Difference readings apply to the HydroRanger 200 only. They are clearly marked. The memory map of the HydroRanger 200 occupies the Modbus holding registers (R40,001 and up). This map is used when the protocol is Modbus RTU slave or Modbus ASCII slave.

Product ID (R40,064) Identifying Milltronics device type: Device Type Value HydroRanger 200 4 Point Data (R41,010 – R41,031) Measurement point data contain the current instrument readings. These are the values shown for the reading measurement for each measurement point. The reading is based on the setting for P001 (operation). P001 can be set to level, distance, OCM flow, or volume. See HydroRanger 200 Parameter Reference section on page 113 for details. The measurement registers are 41,010 to 41,012.
Discrete Inputs (R41,070) This table shows the current status of the discrete inputs. Only register 41,070 is used. Discrete Input Data Address 1 41,070, bit 1 2 41,070, bit 2 Relay Outputs (R41,080) This table shows the current status of the relays. A reading of 0 means that the relay function is not asserted and a 1 means that it is asserted. For example, a 1 for a pump relay means that the pump is running.
Pump OFF Setpoint (R41,430 – R41,435) The OFF setpoint level (P113) for the referenced pump relay. The setpoint is scaled from 0 to 10,000 (0 to 100% of span multiplied by 100). So 54.02% is shown in the register as 5402. Pumped Volume (R41,440 – R41,443) The pumped volume registers hold the current total for all of the pumps associated with a level point. These registers are available only if operation is set to pumped volume (P001 = 7). These volumes can become very large.
Usually, the parameters are all read / write. Note: • • • Parameters P000 and P999 are read only. If P000 is set to lock activated then all of the parameters are read only Parameter P999 (Master Reset) cannot be used via Modbus See Data Types on page 101 for a description of the different types of data associated with different parameters Each parameter register has a corresponding format register that holds the format information required to interpret the value.
Global Index Method (P782 = 0) Global format method sets index values for all parameters simultaneously. Use this method to read multiple values set to the same index values. 1. Write the primary index value into R43,999. This is a value between 0 and 40 which specifies the input or output indexed by the parameter. Examples are: • • • 2. Transducer 1 is index 1 Discrete input 2 is index 2 Relay 5 is index 5 Write the secondary index value into R43,998.
2. Read the value from the appropriate parameter register (the example uses 44,921). Types of values are: • Numeric Values on page 101 • Bit Values on page 101 • Split Values on page 102 • Text Messages on page 103 • Relay Function Codes (P111 Only) on page 104 A value of 22,222 indicates that an error occurred. Specify a different format type and try again. Writing Parameters The method of writing parameters is similar to the method of reading them.
Global Index Method (P782 = 0) Only the final digit of the format word determines the decimal offset (below). Parameter-Specific Index Method (P782 = 1) All three decimal fields are used to determine the parameter value’s primary index, secondary index, and decimal offset.
Examples of using the format word for both the index values and the decimal offset value are shown below: Format Primary Index Secondary Index Decimal 00000 00 00 0 01003 01 00 3 right 02038 02 03 3 left 05159 05 15 percent Modbus Register Types mmmmm To write these values you can use a decimal offset as follows: format word = (primary index x 1000) + (secondary index x 10) + (decimal).
Data Types The HydroRanger 200 parameters do not always use integers to hold values. For the convenience of the programmer, those values are converted to and from a 16-bit integer number. This section describes the conversion process. The sections that follow describe where those values are in the discrete I/O and block transfer addresses, and how to get the parameters you need. Numeric Values Numeric parameter values are the most common.
For example, if R41,442 is read as a UINT32, the 32 bits would look like this: R41,442 16 MSW 32 R41,443 1 16 LSW 32-bit integer value (UINT32) 1 1 The two registers are read as a 32-bit integer. The most significant word (MSW) and least significant word (LSW) can be reversed to accommodate some Modbus drivers. See Word Order (R40,062) on page 92 for details. The position of the decimal place is dependent on the register. For more details see the description of the register.
Text Messages If a Milltronics device parameter returns a text message, that message is converted to an integer and provided in the register.
Relay Function Codes (P111 Only) If a Milltronics device parameter returns a relay function code, that message is converted to a number and is then provided in the register.
Error Handling When polled by a Modbus Master, a slave device will do one of the following: 1. Not reply. This means that something went wrong with the transmission of the message. 2. Echo back the command with the correct response (see the Modbus specification for more details). This is the normal response. 3. Return an Exception Code. This reflects an error in the message.
Error Handling mmmmm • If P000 is activated, then the value will be ignored and no error response will be made. However, the current value will not reflect the desired new value. • If the host attempts to write one or more registers that are out of range, an exception response code 2 or 3 is generated, depending if the start address is valid. • If the host used an unsupported function code, an exception response code of 01 should be generated.
Communication Troubleshooting 1. Check the following: • • • There is power at the unit The LCD is showing the relevant data The device can be programmed using the hand programmer 2. Check the wiring pin outs and verify that the connection is correct. 3. Verify that values in the set-up parameters (P770 to P779) match the settings in the computer used to communicate with the unit. 4. Check that the port on the computer is correct. Sometimes trying a different Modbus driver will solve the problem.
Communication Appendix A: Single Parameter Access (SPA) This Appendix is intended to provide someone with advanced communications knowledge the ability to access any parameter value in any available format. Built into HydroRanger 200 is an advanced handshaking area that can be used to read and write single registers to the HydroRanger 200. This section performs a similar function to the Parameter access section. The differences are: 1. Advanced section is more powerful and harder to program. 2.
Writing Parameters To set parameters through Modbus do the following steps: 1. Send the parameter, its primary index, and its secondary index (usually 0) to registers 40,090, 40,091, and 40,092. 2. Write the value to registers 40,096 and 40,097. 3. Write the desired format word to register 40,093 to enable the HydroRanger 200 to interpret the value correctly.
Error Codes The error codes returned in the format area are 8-bit integers found in the lowest eight bits of the format word. This allows for 256 potential error codes. Currently the HydroRanger 200 has two error codes available.
Parameter Reference The HydroRanger 200 is configured through its parameters, and the application determines the parameter values which are entered into the unit. Please check your value entries carefully before operating the HydroRanger 200 to ensure optimum performance.

By default: • • Alarm relays have P129 = OFF and so react to the Failsafe Material Level.
Relays (P100 to P119) The HydroRanger 200 has six relays (or digital outputs) used to control devices and alarms. While the number of devices is limited by the relays, all control functions are accessible through software and each parameter is indexed to the three or six relays. See the Relay section on page 34. Preset Applications (P100) The HydroRanger 200 makes standard applications easier to program by providing an extensive list of presets.

Appendix B: Tech Reference mmmmm General Appendix B: Technical Reference Transmit Pulse The transmit pulse consists of one or more electrical “shot” pulses, which are supplied to the transducer connected to the HydroRanger 200 terminals. The transducer fires an acoustic “shot” for each electrical pulse supplied. After each shot is fired, sufficient time is provided for echo (shot reflection) reception before the next (if applicable) shot is fired.
Cursor Echo Marker TVT Curve Echo Profile Distance Calculation To calculate the transducer to material level (object) distance, the transmission medium (atmosphere) sound velocity (P653) is multiplied by the acoustic transmission to reception time period. This result is divided by 2 to calculate the one way distance.
Appendix B: Tech Reference mmmmm The HydroRanger 200 automatic temperature compensation is based on the sound velocity / temperature characteristics of “air” and may not be suitable for the atmosphere present. If the atmosphere temperature is variable, perform frequent Sound Velocity Calibrations to optimize measurement accuracy. Sound Velocity calibration frequency may be determined with experience.
For combination curves (mostly linear but include 1 or more arcs), enter numerous breakpoints along the arc, for best volume calculation accuracy. Set P050 = 10 This calculation creates a cubic spline approximation of the level/volume curve, providing best results if the curve is non-linear, and there are no sharp angles.

For combination curves (mostly linear but include 1 or more arcs), enter numerous breakpoints along the arc, for best flow calculation accuracy. Universal, Curved This calculation creates a cubic spline approximation of the head/flow curve, providing best results if the curve is non-linear, and there are no sharp angles.

General Appendix C: Troubleshooting Note: Many of the parameters and techniques described here require extensive knowledge of ultrasonic technologies and Milltronics echo processing software. Use this information with caution. Appendix C: Troubleshooting mmmmm If the setup becomes too confusing use P999 to reset and start again. Common Problems Chart Symptom Cause Action Display blank, transducer not pulsing. No power. Check power supply, wiring, or power fuse. No response to programmer.
Reading fluctuates while material level is still (or vice versa). Incorrect measurement stabilization. Reading is fixed, regardless of the actual material level. Transducer acoustic beam obstructed, standpipe too narrow, or transducer ringing (reads over 100%). Alter Maximum Process Speed (P003) or damping (P704) accordingly. See Maximum Process Speed. Relocate and / or re-aim transducer at material level or object. Proceed to Measurement Difficulties below.
Determine the Noise Source Disconnect the transducer from the HydroRanger 200. If the measured noise is below 5 dB, then continue here. If the measured noise is above 5 dB go to Non-Transducer Noise Sources below. Connect only the shield wire of the transducer to the HydroRanger 200. If the measured noise is below 5 dB, continue with the next step. If the noise is above 5 dB, go to Common Wiring Problems. 2. Connect the white and black transducer wires to the HydroRanger 200. Record the average noise. 3.
Filtering cables is an option but is not recommended unless all other options have been exhausted. The HydroRanger 200 is designed to work near heavy industrial equipment such as variable speed drives. Even so, it should not be located near high voltage wires or switch gear. Common Wiring Problems Make sure that the transducer shield wire is connected at the electronics end only. Do not ground it at any other location. • Do not connect the transducer shield wire to the white wire.
Measurement Difficulties If the Failsafe Timer (P070) expires due to a measurement difficulty, LOE flashes alternately with the last known Reading. In rare cases, the HydroRanger 200 may lock on to a false echo and report a fixed or wrong reading. Flashing LOE Display Appendix C: Troubleshooting mmmmm The loss of echo (LOE) display appears when the echo confidence is below the threshold value set in P805 Echo Confidence.
Displaying Echo Confidence in the RUN mode Press and hold for four seconds (Failsafe Time Left changes to the Short:Long Confidence display). To display Echo Confidence in the program mode, access the Echo Confidence (P805) parameter. To update the value displayed after each aiming adjustment.. Press (five times or more to verify stability and overcome any echo lock P711). Increase the Failsafe Timer (P070) value, if failsafe operation will not be compromised by the larger value.
If an obstruction cannot be removed or avoided, adjust the Time Varying Threshold (TVT) Curve to reduce the Echo Confidence derived from the sound reflected by the obstruction. Use Dolphin Plus to adjust the TVT curve or use an oscilloscope and a hand programmer to adjust the required parameters. (See Scope Displays, P810 and TVT Shaper, P832.
Wrong Reading If the Reading is erratic, or jumps to some incorrect value periodically, ensure the: 1. 2. 3. Surface monitored is not beyond the HydroRanger 200’s programmed range or the transducer’s maximum range. Material is not falling into the transducer’s acoustic beam. Material is not inside the blanking distance of the transducer. Types of Wrong Readings Liquid Splashing If the material monitored is a liquid, check for splashing in the vessel.
Normal Ring Down Ring Down Appendix C: Troubleshooting mmmmm Echo Profile TVT curve Time of Correct Echo Poor Ring Down Ring Down Echo Profile TVT Curve Time of false echo from ringing Ring down times that extend past the near blanking area can be interpreted by the HydroRanger 200 as the material level and are characterized by a steady high level being reported.
General Appendix D: Pump Control Reference The HydroRanger 200 has the pump control strategies to solve nearly any water / wastewater application. This section details these strategies for engineers requiring indepth knowledge of the system and how it operates. Pump Control Options The various methods of pump control are made up of a combination of two control variables: Pump Duty The pump duty indicates in what sequence pumps are started.
Alternate Starts pumps based on the duty schedule and always leads with a new pump. Service Ratio Starts pumps based on user-defined ratio of running time. Fixed Duty Assist (P111 = 50) Ties the indexed pump relay directly to the indexed setpoint. Relay Operation (for P118 = 2) The relay contact closes at the ON setpoint and opens at the OFF setpoint. Multiple relay contacts in the pump group can be closed at the same time.
Relay Table The following table shows relay status when each setpoint is reached. Relays Setpoints Index 1 2 3 On 3 Off Off On On 2 Off On Off On 1 On Off Off Off 0 Off Off Off Alternate Duty Assist (P111 = 52) Alternates the lead pump each time the material level cycles and runs all pumps together. Relay Operation (for P118 = 2) Setpoint one does not relate directly to relay one. The pumping algorithm manages the mapping of setpoints to relays.
Setpoints Cycle 3 Relays 1 2 3 On 3 On On On On 2 On Off On On 1 Off Off On Off 0 Off Off Off Alternate Duty Backup (P111 = 53) Alternates the lead pump each time the material level cycles.
Setpoints Cycle 3 Relays 1 2 3 On 3 Off On Off On 2 On Off Off On 1 Off Off On Off 0 Off Off Off Service Ratio Duty Assist (P111 = 54) Selects the lead pump based on number of hours each pump has run and the specified ratios that each pump requires. Multiple pumps can run at one time. Relay Operation (for P118 = 2) The setpoints associated with the relays are grouped so they can be redistributed based on pump RUN time ratios.
First In First Out (FIFO) (P111 = 56) Selects the lead pump based on the Alternate duty but uses staggered off setpoints and shuts down pumps based on the first in, first out rule. This algorithm starts pumps in the same way as Alternate Duty Assist but uses staggered OFF setpoints to shut the pumps down. When the first OFF setpoint is reached the FIFO rule shuts down the first pump started. If the pumps started in sequence 2,3,1 then they would be shut down in sequence 2,3,1.
General Appendix E: Updating Software Updating Software To update the software in the HydroRanger 200, please contact your Siemens Milltronics representative to obtain the software.

General Appendix F: Upgrading The following procedure will assist you if you are upgrading from a HydroRanger to a HydroRanger 200. If the application is unchanged, copy down the parameters in the HydroRanger before decommissioning the unit. Mounting a HydroRanger 200 Please read the HydroRanger 200 Installation section on page 7 before mounting the new HydroRanger 200 enclosure. Make sure the power is OFF to the unit before following these steps: 1. 2. Remove the old HydroRanger.
Connecting a transducer with RG62 coaxial extension cable If you are replacing an older Milltronics Ultrasonic Level Controller with a new HydroRanger 200 where an RG-62 coaxial extension is fitted and you are unable to replace the extension with a new cable, please refer to connection diagram below. Please note that the noise immunity performance will be similar to our older model ultrasonic level controllers if you use coaxial cable.
HydroRanger to HydroRanger 200 Parameters The HydroRanger 200 uses the current Milltronics standard parameter set which is different than the parameter numbers used in the HydroRanger. The HydroRanger parameters numbers are sequential (P-0 to P-99). The HydroRanger 200 parameters number are also sequential; however, some of the parameters are indexed. Parameters are indexed when they apply to more than one input or output. The index value defines the input/output for that parameter.
