Output
Sultan Acoustic Wave Series
44
Output doesn’t match level during lling /
emptying
Ensure the span programmed into your PLC matches
the span (high & low level) programmed into the unit
Ensure the Fill Rate and/or Empty rate is set fast
enough for your application.
If the unit is ‘locked’ showing a higher level than see
‘Unit displays or transmits distance that is higher than
the actual level’.
Ensure resistance load is within HAWK specification
on analog wires.
Output is erratic / inconsistent
Increase the ‘damping’ values to stabilise unit
response times. The settings are in ‘Output
Adjustment’ menu as ‘FillDamp’ and ‘EmtyDamp’.
If material being measured forms angle of repose try
adjusting Transducer mounting angle to get better
reflections
For analogue output related problems it is important to isolate the Sultan
(disconnect from the network) and use a multimeter to read the analogue terminals directly.
Replacing a Transducer or Amplier
If replacing either the amplifier or transducer you
must re-enter your application settings into the unit.
Consider stocking spare amplifiers and transducers
to avoid potential down time.
