TIENet® Model 310 Ex Ultrasonic Level Sensor
Section 1 Introduction
The Signature® Flow Meter uses the TIENet 310 Ex Device toprovide non-contact liquid level measurement. The flow meterhas built-in level-to-flow conversions that cover the majority ofopen channel flow measurement situations.
1.1 Description The ultrasonic sensor is mounted over the flow stream. The flowmeter measures the time interval between transmission of asound pulse from the sensor, and receiving its echo off the surfaceof the liquid, to determine the level of the stream.

This non-contact measurement method reduces the frequency ofmaintenance, and is ideal for applications where the flow maycontain chemicals, grease, silt, or suspended solids.
1.2 310 Ex Sensor Design The ultrasonic level sensor consists of a housing with a singletransducer that is both pulse transmitter and echo receiver. Atemperature sensor within the housing measures the ambienttemperature, and a microprocessor automatically compensatesfor speed-of-sound changes due to any changes in air temper-ature.
The 310 Ex is available with a 10m, 23m, and special order to150m or less cable lengths with or without connectors. Forgreater distances, external connection via conduit, and con-nection of additional TIENet devices, the TIENet Expansion Boxis available. Bulk TIENet cable may also be used for greater dis-tances.
Figure 1-2 310 Ex Ultrasonic TIENet Sensor with unterminated leads (l) or TIENet plug (r)
1.3 Operation The sensor emits multiple ultrasonic pulses per second. Betweenpulses, the transducer switches from transmitter to receiver.When the transducer receives the echo from the water’s surface,the sound energy is converted into an electrical signal. Thesignal is then amplified and processed by the Signature flowmeter into an “echo-received” signal. The time between the trans-mitted pulse and the echo-received signal is proportional to thedistance between the transducer and the liquid surface. This dis-tance in turn determines the liquid level used to calculate flow.

Section 2 Installation and Setup for Signature
The Signature Flow Meter does not have to be mounted near theflow stream. You can install the flow meter itself at a convenient,protected location and route the sensor cable to the measurementpoint. Proper installation of the 310 Ex sensor is critical foraccurate measurement.
2.1 Sensor Installation Considerations
Measurement accuracy can be affected by a number of sitefactors that should be taken into consideration when selectingthe location for the sensor. If the sensor cannot obtain a validreading, an asterisk (*) will appear next to the displayed level,indicating there is an error.
2.1.1 Beam Angle The 310 Ex sensor has a 10° beam angle, forming a cone whoseapex is the ultrasonic transducer. The sensor can only detect sur-faces within this cone. Narrow channels can result in false echoesand incorrect level readings off the walls and sides of thechannel. For preventive measures, see Section 2.5.2 Mea-surement Setup, and the programming steps in Figure 2-15.
The beam becomes narrower at shorter distances, which canincrease difficulty in detecting the return echo. If the beam is toowide, the sensor may pick up signals from unwanted surfaces,such as the walls of the channel.
Sensor elevation is highly specific to the particular site.
2.1.2 Humidity Conditions of extremely high or low humidity can cause detectionto occur either earlier or later than under normal conditions. Adrop in water level, normally compensated for by the sensor’sinterval-based amplifier, may produce errors in echo detection.
Additionally, water droplet condensation on the bottom surface ofthe sensor can cause measurement errors.
2.1.3 Surface Solids, foam, oil, and turbulence can all absorb or weaken theultrasonic pulses, causing errors in detection. Foam or oil on thesurface of the stream can produce false level readings.
2.1.4 Temperature Changes in ambient temperature significantly affect the velocityof sound. If ambient temperature changes rapidly, there may be adelay before the 310 Ex’s temperature sensor can activate tem-perature compensation.
If the sensor will be installed outdoors in direct sunlight, use asunshade to prevent heating of the sensor housing.

2.1.5 Waves Waves on the surface of the flow stream can deflect the ultrasonicsignal, causing erroneous readings or total loss of signal. TheSignature Flow Meter software is able to reject occasionalreadings that deviate substantially from normal.
2.1.6 Wind Strong winds can significantly reduce the strength of the returnecho. Narrow beams can result in the sound being blown away;likewise, greater distances to the flow stream surface are moresubject to distortion in strong winds.
2.1.7 Hazardous Locations Installation in classified hazardous locations must meet specificconditions in order to fulfill safety requirements. Installationmust be performed only by trained, qualified personnel. Refer toSection 2.4 Installation in Hazardous Locations for completeinformation.
2.2 Connecting the Cable External TIENet devices such as the 310 Ex are all connected tothe Signature flow meter in the same manner. These connectionsusually use conduit or cord-grip cable fittings for permanentmounted meter or with TIENet receptacle for portable meters.Multiple external TIENet devices can be connected simultane-ously.
Refer to your Signature flow meter manual for instructions onaccessing the instrument’s interior components.
NoteThe steps that follow include instructions for installing cord-gripfittings. Some applications will require cables to be routedthrough user-supplied conduit. Conduit with a minimum 3/4" IDis suggested for unterminated sensor cables and conduit withminimum 1-1/2” ID is suggested for straight runs for sensorcables with connectors.
2.2.1 Permanent Meters
NoteBefore proceeding, ensure that the flow meter has been dis-connected from mains power.

2. After the physical connection is made, a scan must be per-formed for the device to be recognized.
For additional TIENet connections, use the TIENet Y-cable oralternately an Expansion Box.
O-Ring and Lubrication for the TIENet receptacle
1. Coat the O-ring’s sealing surface with a silicone lubricant.
CAUTIONDo not use petroleum-based lubricants. Petroleum-basedlubricants will cause the O-ring to swell and eventually deterio-rate. Aerosol silicone lubricant sprays often use petro-leum-based propellents. If you are using an aerosol spray,allow a few minutes for the propellent to evaporate before pro-ceeding.
2. Align and insert the connector. The sensor release will “click” when the sensor connector is fully seated.
3. Connect the two caps together.

2.2.3 Connecting to TIENet Barrier
1. Refer to the TIENet Barrier Installation Guide section 2 for connecting the 310 Ex TIENet cable to the "hazardous" side of the barrier.
2. If the installation utilizes a Signature flow meter refer to section 2.2.1 Permanent Meters for the installation of the TIENet cable on the "safe" side of the barrier to the meter.
3. Refer to section 2.4 Installation in Hazardous Locations for installation requirements.

2.3 Sensor Installation The mounting location of the ultrasonic level sensor depends onthe type of primary measuring device (such as a weir or flume),and on the method of level-to-flow conversion used. Refer to theIsco Open Channel Flow Measurement Handbook included withyour Signature flow meter, or to instructions provided by themanufacturer of the primary device, for detailed informationabout locating the measuring point.
If you intend to measure flow by some other means, such as agravity flow equation (Manning) or by calibrating a section of theflow channel, you must locate the measuring point based on thehydraulic characteristics of the channel, as well as thelevel-to-flow conversion method.
In most open channel installations where the level may exceedone-half of full pipe, mount the sensor as near as possible to themidpoint between the entrance and exit to measure over theleast turbulent flow.
2.3.1 Dead Band Mount the sensor as close as possible to one foot (0.3 m) abovemaximum expected level. The sensor cannot measure within thefoot of space directly below it, called the dead band.
2.3.2 Submersion and Fouling
Fouling by grease or solids can cause the sensor to malfunction.The sensor is sealed, so unless it was exposed to corrosive sub-stances, temporary accidental submersion should not harm it.Upon retrieval, ensure that the sensor’s surface is clean. Cleanthe bottom surface very gently with running water and a softcloth.
2.3.3 Mounting Options The 310 Ex sensor can be mounted over the flow stream invarious ways, depending on which method best fits the appli-cation.
Optional equipment is available from Teledyne Isco for wall,floor, suspension, and horizontal mounting (see Section 1.5Accessories). The sensor has a 3/4" NPT male pipe thread with aconduit lock nut to connect it to a mounting bracket or cablestiffener. The sensor cable can be routed through user-providedconduit back to the Signature Flow Meter.
Regardless of the mounting method you select, always place thesensor over the center of the stream, and always use a circularbubble level for vertical alignment.

2.4 Installation in Hazardous Locations
Read all labels carefully before installing the equipment!
The TIENet Model 310 Ex device is IECEx and ATEX-approvedfor use in potentially explosive atmospheres when specific condi-tions are met, as described in this section in reference to “X”Marking.
The 310 Ex is Group II, Category 1G equipment for use in gashazard zones 0, 1, and 2 (IECEx and European standards), orClass I Division 1 (North American standards).
The braid-drain lead depicted in Figure 2-8 Sensor labelingregarding hazloc installations is normally bonded to earththrough the Signature connector case terminals or conduit; it isalso electrically connected to the anti-static conductive housingof the 310 Ex sensor.
Installation must be performed only by trained, qualified per-sonnel.
Wall MountApproved for classified hazardous locations.
Floor StandNot approved for classified hazardous locations.
Suspension (cable straightener recommended)Not approved for classified hazardous locations.
TIENet® Model 310 Ex Ultrasonic Level SensorSection 2 Installation and Setup for Signature
2-9
Barriers or isolators required for certifiable safe installation arethe responsibility of the user. Refer to the control drawings pro-vided in Figures 2-9 and 2-10.
NoteThere is a TIENet barrier (a weatherproof box with terminalsand power supply) available for hazardous locations. Refer tosection 1.5.3.
NoteOnly the Wall Mount Bracket is approved for use in classifiedhazardous locations. Non-Isco hardware must undergo a haz-ardous location evaluation in order to fulfill safe installationrequirements.
WARNINGThe mounting bracket is a potential isolated charge carrier. For classified hazardous locations, your installation MUST satisfy earthing requirements. Refer to IEC 60079-14 section 12.2.4 and IEC 60079-11.
Serpentine loopWARNING
Do not coil the sensor cable; this will form an inductor and create a hazard. The cable should be kept as short as is practical. If necessary, use a serpentine loop (see figure at left) instead.
2.4.1 Important Information Regarding “X” Marking
The ATEX labeling on the serial tag of the 310 Ex device includesa number ending in “X.” The X marking indicates that there arespecific conditions that must be met in order for the equipment tocomply with intrinsic safety requirements. Refer to Figure 2-8 onthe following page.
These specific conditions are as follows for ATEX and IECEx:
• The integral cable must be terminated in a manner suitable for the zone of installation and providing at least degree of protection IP20.
• Any extension to the integral 310 Ex sensor cable must utilize a cable with parameters <108pF/m, <1µH/m, <19µH/Ω. The total length of cable must not exceed 150m.
• A maximum of three 310 Ultrasonic sensors may be connected together in parallel.
• The Li and Ci of the associated apparatus must be negli-gible.

2-10
2.4.2 Electrical Requirements
Always refer to the electrical values listed at the bottom of the310 Ex serial tag when connecting associated apparatus (i.e.,power supply, network interface, etc.).
This labeling indicates the maximum input voltage (Ui),maximum input current (Ii), and maximum power (Pi) that canbe present at the specified terminals without invalidatingintrinsic safety.
The power supply parameter allowances must exceed maximuminternal capacitance (Ci) and either the maximum internalinductance (Li), or the maximum internal inductance-to-resis-tance ratio (Li/Ri) of the 310 Ex device and integral cable. Theseparameters are established on the third party certification reportand are available by contacting Teledyne Isco.
2.4.3 Ambient Environment Installation in designated hazardous areas must fall within thetemperature range of -40 to +60°C, as specified on the serial taglabeling.

2.5.2 Measurement Setup From Measurement Setup (Figure 2-14 below), select Level InputSetup to define the measurement range.
The Minimum Blanking Distance is the shortest distancefrom the sensor face (highest expected liquid level). Because ofthe dead band, this value can never be less than one foot.Depending on the elevation of your sensor, this value may beincreased to help ensure that echoes read by the flow meter comeonly from the surface of the flow stream, and not off the walls orsides of the channel.
The Maximum Blanking Distance is the distance between thesensor face and the bottom of the channel, or zero level. You canenter a slightly larger value than calculated, if you prefer.
