Functional Description 
FlowCERT LITE sends a transmit pulse to the transducer, which emits an 
ultrasonic pulse perpendicular to the transducer face, and the returned echo 
is sent back to the FlowCERT LITE. The time taken to receive the echo is 
measured  and  the  distance  from  the  transducer  face  to  the  surface  being 
monitored is calculated. 
FlowCERT LITE can measure from zero to 49.213 feet (15m) from the face 
of  the  transducer  to  the  surface  being  monitored,  dependent  on  the 
application chosen and transducer used. 
The relays can be programmed to activate alarms, pump starters, or other 
control  equipment.  There  is  an  isolated  4-20  mA  output  that  can  be 
connected to a recorder or PLC, to monitor, level space, distance, OCM 
head,  or  OCM  flow,  independently  from  that  shown  on  the  display. 
Additionally there is an RS232 port, so that the  FlowCERT LITE can be 
operated remotely by a PC or other equipment. 
FlowCERT  LITE  can  be  programmed  either  by  the  built-in  keypad 
(standard),  or  by  PC  via  the  RS  232  Serial  Interface  (optional).  All 
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, so are retained in the event of 
power  interruption.  A  second  backup  copy  of  all  parameters  can  also  be 
retained  in  the  FlowCERT  LITE  memory,  in  case  an  alternative  set  of 
parameters needs to be stored. 
Five user definable control relays with individual setpoints and intelligent 
performance logging software features ensure maximum control versatility. 
The  system  utilises  the  unique  DATEM  software  (Digital  Adaptive 
Tracking of Echo Movement). This is a proven digital mapping technique 
developed  especially  for  the  Pulsar  Ultra  range,  which  gives  the  system 
unequalled  ability  when  identifying  the  “true  target  level”  in  the  face  of 
competing echoes  from pipes, pumps or other  obstructions.  Coupled  with 
the powerful ‘all new’ dB transducer range, the FlowCERT LITE lives up to 
its  reputation  as  the  most  reliable  ultrasonic  level  measurement  system 
available. 
The Pulsar FlowCERT LITE ultrasonic level controller has been designed to 
provide maintenance-free fit and forget performance.
