INTRODUCTION

SUMPI works on the non-contact principle of ultrasonics.A pulse of energy emits from the transducer at the speed of sound and isdetected upon its return. The transmitter can distinguish the differencebetween a correct echo and other ambient noise.When the signal returns, SUMPI measures the time period and thenknowing the speed of sound, it can accurately calculate the distancefrom the material to the transducer. The SUMPI can measure distance,level and open channel flow.

In distance mode the SUMPI measures distance from the transducer.This means the 20mA will be the furthest point and the 4mA will be theclosest point.

In level mode the SUMPI measures level in a tank. This means at thefurthest point or when the tank is empty, the instrument will read 4mA. Atthe closest point the tank will be full and the instrument will read 20mA.

The Open Channel flow meter uses a level measurement from theSUMPI and converts the reading into a flow measurement.

A microprocessor then controls the output functions of the relays, displayand the analogue output signals.

INSTALLATION

Transmitter

The transmitter is weather proof so it can be mounted outside. AlthoughSUMPI is protected to IP65 it is recommended that it be installed insideanother suitable enclosure.The LCD display should not be facing direct sunlight as this can causethe display to fail. SUMPI should be fixed to a wall or chassis plate usingthe four holes provided.

Do not install SUMPI in areas of high vibration as this may cause failure.Do not install SUMPI in the close vicinity of electrical cable, SCR's orvariable speed drives.

INSTALLATION

Transducer

The installation of the transducer is the most important section of thismanual and has been divided into 7 sub sections.

1. The transducer must be fitted at 0.500 m above the highest point oflevel.

2. Always use the plastic isolation kit. This kit must be fitted to a rigidsupport and must not be allowed to swing. Use mild steel or a suitableplastic. Do not use stainless steel as this can cause ringing and mayincrease the blanking distance.

Nut should behand tight only.

Steel Supportshould be fitted here.

Transducer screwsinto isolation kit.

DO NOT REMOVE

3. The transducer must be perpendicular to the material it is measuringwith a clear line of sight and not above beams or filling points.

Liquid level measurement. Solid level measurement.

Transducer at 90 deg to surface. Transducer at 90 deg to surface.

4. If the transducer is in a coned vessel, it must be positioned over themiddle of the cone. This ensures that the transducer receives the trueecho and not one from the sides of the cone.

KAB Instruments (Pty) Ltd Level by Sound Knowledge ®

SUMPI INSTRUCTION MANUAL Version SM2704 ©18

5. When a standpipe is being used it must be as wide as possible andpreferably be made of plastic. The base MUST have a 45 degreechamfer to reduce the echo size from the bottom of the standpipe. Nowelding should be present on the inside of the pipe as this causes falseechoes. Always increase the blanking 150 mm past the end of thestandpipe.

6. If any large electrical equipment is installed in the vicinity, thenearthed steel conduit must be used.

7. An extension of up to 100 m using RG62U cable is possible. Allconnections must be soldered together. It is advisable to install thetransducer cable inside steel conduit, especially if large electrical spikes(interference) are present.

PUMP CYCLESelect the type of pump control that is required.

The SUMPI has two pump cycling routines which can be used toefficiently distribute the run cycles between various pumps that serve acommon purpose.

The ROTATE pump routine will use the relay set points configured forthe pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set points among thepumps with the COMPLETION of each cycle.

NOTE: The COMPLETION of a cycle is reached once all pumps haveswitched OFF.

The FIFO (First In First Out) routine will use the relay set pointsconfigured for the pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set pointsamong the pumps for subsequent cycles.

The FIFO routine ensures that the lead pump will alwaysswitch off first.

It is advisable to configure the reset points for the pumps thatrequire cycling to the same level.

RELAY1The relays can be used either for a high alarm, a low alarm or counter inflow mode. The difference is that a high alarm has its reset below the setpoint, and a low alarm has its reset above the set point. The counter willoutput a pulse every time a certain value is reached from the totaliser,which increments by more than a user defined value when in flow mode.The relays can also be set up to have pump cycling enabled.DEFAULT Off

SET POINTThis is the distance value whereby the relay will set.DEFAULT 0 m

RESET POINTThis is the distance value whereby the relay will reset.DEFAULT 0 m

PUMP CYCLESelect the type of pump control that is required.

The SUMPI has two pump cycling routines which can be used toefficiently distribute the run cycles between various pumps that serve acommon purpose.

The ROTATE pump routine will use the relay set points configured forthe pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set points among thepumps with the COMPLETION of each cycle.

The COMPLETION of a cycle is reached once all pumps haveswitched OFF.

The FIFO (First In First Out) routine will use the relay set pointsconfigured for the pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set pointsamong the pumps for subsequent cycles.

The FIFO routine ensures that the lead pump will always switchoff first.

It is advisable to configure the reset points for the pumps thatrequire cycling to the same level.

There are three categories of possible faults. The malfunction of theinstrument, loss of echo, and wrong reading.

The biggest problem is to identify the malfunction. If the instrument is notworking satisfactorily then remove the transmitter and transducer to theworkshop. Connect the power and the transducer directly, not using anyextension cable. Aim the transducer to a wall about 1.5 m away, makingsure that it is perpendicular to the wall. Now reset the instrument by theFactory Reset prompt. The Instrument should now read Distance1.50 m. If it does not read the above then there is a malfunction with theinstrument and it should be returned for repair.

If the above works and it still does not work in the field then there aremany possible problems. A list of possible problems follow.

Loss of echo.

Check all transducer cable connections and that the joints are solderedtogether.

Check that you have used RG62U co-axial for an extension cable.

Only use RG62U co-axial cable.

Check the specification of the transducers as agitated surfaces andsolids do not reflect as powerful a signal as flat surfaces.

Aim the transducer straight down if used on liquids and perpendicular ifused on solids.

Check if the transducer face is dirty.

Wrong reading, always reading close to Transducer.

Check to see if the isolation kit has been used correctly and is only handtight.

If using a flanged transducer always use a rubber gasket and only useplastic nuts and bolts. Only hand tighten the bolts.

Do not reduce blanking distance below 0.5 m unless consultation hasbeen made with KAB Instruments.

Electrical noise can cause this error. Remove noise.

Wrong reading, anywhere in weir/channel.

Check to see if there is a reflection from the wall. Please Note! A piece ofwire across a tank can cause a big enough echo to be accepted.

Are the parameters correct? Reset to factory default and check thatSUMPI reads correctly. If the factory settings are OK then yourparameters need to be changed. Re-check these parameters with a tapemeasure.

Wrong reading, erratic.

Reduce Rate of Change. Not many levels move faster than1 meter/minute.Make sure the application is set up correctly. On liquid applications it isvery important that the liquid application is selected. Solid applicationsare only used for objects or substances being measured, which are in asolid form.

Wrong reading, slow.

Increase Rate of Change.

CABLE EXTENSION

Should it be necessary to extend the cable, KAB Instruments onlyrecommends RG62U co-axial cable as an extension cable. Thetemperature compensation must be a 2 core screened cable.

The connections must be SOLDERED and connected as below.

The transducer cable to RG62U cable.

The red wire from the transducer is soldered to the single conductor onthe RG62U cable and the black and screen from the transducer issoldered to the screen of the RG62U co-axial cable.

RG62U cable connection on the SUMPI.

The other end of the RG62U cable should be connected to thetransducer connection on the circuit board with the core going to the redmarked terminal and the screen going to the SCRN marked terminal.

The extra length of cable should not exceed 150 m. This distance couldbe shorter if the cable is run close to high voltage cables.

Solder all wires, the red wire from the transducer is soldered to thesingle conductor on the RG62U co-axial cable and the black and screenfrom the transducer is soldered to the screen of the RG62U co-axialcable. The blue wire is soldered to the blue wire and the white wire issoldered to the white wire on the 2 core screen cable. The screen on the2 core cable must be connected to the screen on the co-axial cable andthe screen on the transducer cable.

Apply insulation tape or heat shrink to the wires so they do not short.

RG62U cable and 2 core cable connection on the SUMPI.

All wires should be connected as above, Co-Axial core to red, Co-Axialscreen to screen. Blue and white from the temperature probe should beconnected to blue and white on the board. The Black does not need aconnection as it is already connected to the screen on the circuit board.

The extra length of cable should not exceed 150 m. This distance couldbe shorter if the cable is run close to high voltage cables.

KABScope is a software package designed by KAB Instruments toenable the user of KAB's range of SUMPI ultrasonic level instruments toenjoy rapid programming and fault finding when using the SUMPI rangeof products. Please note KABScope is not normally supplied with theSUMPI and must be purchased separately. There is an on screenKABScope that comes with the instrument but the detail of the scopedata is limited by the screen pixels and size.

Background

The nature of ultrasonic level equipment dictates that an oscilloscope isneeded to do fault finding on a level application. Most often thetransducer is not mounted correctly and this can cause endlessproblems with even a simple application. Without an oscilloscope onewould not necessarily determine this problem. Many technical personneldo not have access to an oscilloscope; hence the reason for thedevelopment of KABScope.

Operation

The KABScope is equipped with an on-screen oscilloscope whichenables the user to conduct fault finding in the simplest manner. It alsohas a full programming menu that enables the user to set-up the unit oninstallation and to make any necessary changes to the unit.

The traditionally simple manner of programming the SUMPI rangeextends to the KABScope. Once the access code has been enteredcorrectly the complete programming menu opens up into a Windowsbased display. All parameters can be altered in this window. Theparameters of the SUMPI will be reflected on the display of theKABScope.
