INTRODUCTION
SUMPI works on the non-contact principle of ultrasonics. A pulse of energy emits from the transducer at the speed of sound and is detected upon its return. The transmitter can distinguish the difference between a correct echo and other ambient noise. When the signal returns, SUMPI measures the time period and then knowing the speed of sound, it can accurately calculate the distance from 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 the closest point. In level mode the SUMPI measures level in a tank. This means at the furthest point or when the tank is empty, the instrument will read 4mA. At the closest point the tank will be full and the instrument will read 20mA. The Open Channel flow meter uses a level measurement from the SUMPI and converts the reading into a flow measurement. A microprocessor then controls the output functions of the relays, display and the analogue output signals.
QUICK START FOR DISTANCE

SUMPI was designed to be user friendly with a very simple configuration program. This allows the technician to set up SUMPI without the aid of a complicated source-code book. There are no references to any codes in SUMPI. The set up procedure is all menu-driven with the aid of questions and multiple-choice answers. 1. Connect up the power to the instrument and the transducer connections as described on the SUMPI board or in the SUMPI manual under terminal connections on page 62. PLEASE NOTE, ALL CONNECTORS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING UNPLUGGED FROM THE PCB. 2. Aim the transducer at a wall about 2 m away and check the display. It should read the following.

INSTALLATION
Transmitter The transmitter is weather proof so it can be mounted outside. Although SUMPI is protected to IP65 it is recommended that it be installed inside another suitable enclosure. The LCD display should not be facing direct sunlight as this can cause the display to fail. SUMPI should be fixed to a wall or chassis plate using the 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 or variable speed drives.
15
INSTALLATION
Transducer The installation of the transducer is the most important section of this manual and has been divided into 7 sub sections. 1. The transducer must be fitted at 0.500 m above the highest point of level. 2. Always use the plastic isolation kit. This kit must be fitted to a rigid support and must not be allowed to swing. Use mild steel or a suitable plastic. Do not use stainless steel as this can cause ringing and may increase the blanking distance. Nut should be hand tight only. Steel Support should be fitted here.
DO NOT REMOVE
Transducer screws into isolation kit.
16
3. The transducer must be perpendicular to the material it is measuring with 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 the middle of the cone. This ensures that the transducer receives the true echo and not one from the sides of the cone.
17
5. When a standpipe is being used it must be as wide as possible and preferably be made of plastic. The base MUST have a 45 degree chamfer to reduce the echo size from the bottom of the standpipe. No welding should be present on the inside of the pipe as this causes false echoes. Always increase the blanking 150 mm past the end of the standpipe.
TRANSDUCER VESSEL ROOF 45 CHAMFER
6. If any large electrical equipment is installed in the vicinity, then earthed steel conduit must be used. 7. An extension of up to 100 m using RG62U cable is possible. All connections must be soldered together. It is advisable to install the transducer cable inside steel conduit, especially if large electrical spikes (interference) are present.

DISTANCE / LEVEL MODE

Please see page 29 for Open Channel Flow. SECURITY CODE Security code to advance to programming. DEFAULT 5159 MODE Choose between Distance, Level. DEFAULT Distance UNITS Choose between Feet and Meters. DEFAULT Meters EMPTY DISTANCE This is the distance from the face of the transducer to the bottom of the tank. DEFAULT 10.00 m SPAN This figure is the measuring range of the instrument i.e. distance from the bottom of the tank to the highest point being measured. Remember, the material must not approach within 0.50 meters of the transducer face or within the blanking distance of the transducer. DEFAULT 10.00 m BLANKING This is the area where an echo cannot be processed because the return echo would be received while the transducer is still firing. DEFAULT 0.50 m RATE OF CHANGE This is used to set up the rate of change of the level output. The rate of change governs the rate at which the instrument output change. By increasing the rate of change (4.00 m/min) it will allow the SUMPI to monitor rapid changes in level. If the level moves faster than 1 m/minute
23
in measurement increase the rate of change. If a more stable output is required decrease the rate of change (0.30 m/min). DEFAULT 1.00 m/min APPLICATION This selection can be used to select either liquid or solid applications. The solid application will provide more power to locate the correct echo. DEFAULT Liquids FACTORY RESET This prompt will reset all values entered back to factory setting except the password. Please write down all settings before using this function. DEFAULT No TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Sets temperature compensation on or off. DEFAULT Off SIMULATE Simulates the level, relay outputs and mA outputs with the rate of change, selected. DEFAULT No SET PASSWORD This prompt will allow you to change the default factory code. Should the factory code be forgotten please contact a local KAB Instruments agent for an override password. DEFAULT No BACKLIGHT Choose between switching on the backlight for 1 - 60 minutes, switch off the backlight or to switch the backlight permanently on. DEFAULT 2 Min LOSSTIME This is the amount of time between last receiving a correct echo and going into the Fail-safe condition. This time period is timed in seconds. This cannot be reduced to less than 30 seconds. DEFAULT 300 Sec
24
FAILSAFE If a loss of echo condition is reached then the 4-20mA output will follow the configured settings 3.60mA, 4mA, 20mA, 21mA or Hold the reading at the last recognized echo. This is usually due to a cable being cut or the instrument not being set up correctly. DEFAULT Hold ENGINEERING UNITS This prompt will allow you to display in your own engineering units and can be made up from alphanumeric characters.

DEFAULT 0 SETUP RELAYS Select yes to enter the relay menu and set up the relay parameters. DEFAULT No RELAY1 The relays can be used either for a high alarm or a low alarm. A high alarm has its reset below the set point, and a low alarm has its reset above the set point. The relays can also be set up to have pump cycling enabled. DEFAULT Off SET POINT This is the value where the relay will set. DEFAULT 0 m
25
RESET POINT This is the value where the relay will reset. DEFAULT 0 m PUMP CYCLE Select the type of pump control that is required. The SUMPI has two pump cycling routines which can be used to efficiently distribute the run cycles between various pumps that serve a common purpose. The ROTATE pump routine will use the relay set points configured for the pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set points among the pumps with the COMPLETION of each cycle. NOTE: The COMPLETION of a cycle is reached once all pumps have switched OFF. The FIFO (First In First Out) routine will use the relay set points configured for the pumps that require cycling, and rotate these set points among the pumps for subsequent cycles. NOTE: HINT: The FIFO routine ensures that the lead pump will always switch off first. It is advisable to configure the reset points for the pumps that require cycling to the same level.

FAULT FINDING
There are three categories of possible faults. The malfunction of the instrument, loss of echo, and wrong reading. The biggest problem is to identify the malfunction. If the instrument is not working satisfactorily then remove the transmitter and transducer to the workshop. Connect the power and the transducer directly, not using any extension cable. Aim the transducer to a wall about 1.5 m away, making sure that it is perpendicular to the wall. Now reset the instrument by the Factory Reset prompt. The Instrument should now read Distance 1.50 m. If it does not read the above then there is a malfunction with the instrument and it should be returned for repair. If the above works and it still does not work in the field then there are many possible problems. A list of possible problems follow. Loss of echo. Check all transducer cable connections and that the joints are soldered together. 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 and solids do not reflect as powerful a signal as flat surfaces. Aim the transducer straight down if used on liquids and perpendicular if used 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 hand tight.
60
If using a flanged transducer always use a rubber gasket and only use plastic nuts and bolts. Only hand tighten the bolts. Do not reduce blanking distance below 0.5 m unless consultation has been 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 of wire across a tank can cause a big enough echo to be accepted. Are the parameters correct? Reset to factory default and check that SUMPI reads correctly. If the factory settings are OK then your parameters need to be changed. Re-check these parameters with a tape measure. Wrong reading, erratic. Reduce Rate of Change. Not many levels move faster than 1 meter/minute. Make sure the application is set up correctly. On liquid applications it is very important that the liquid application is selected. Solid applications are only used for objects or substances being measured, which are in a solid form. Wrong reading, slow. Increase Rate of Change.

KABScope
KABScope is a software package designed by KAB Instruments to enable the user of KAB's range of SUMPI ultrasonic level instruments to enjoy rapid programming and fault finding when using the SUMPI range of products. Please note KABScope is not normally supplied with the SUMPI and must be purchased separately. There is an on screen KABScope that comes with the instrument but the detail of the scope data is limited by the screen pixels and size. Background The nature of ultrasonic level equipment dictates that an oscilloscope is needed to do fault finding on a level application. Most often the transducer is not mounted correctly and this can cause endless problems with even a simple application. Without an oscilloscope one would not necessarily determine this problem. Many technical personnel do not have access to an oscilloscope; hence the reason for the development of KABScope. Operation The KABScope is equipped with an on-screen oscilloscope which enables the user to conduct fault finding in the simplest manner. It also has a full programming menu that enables the user to set-up the unit on installation and to make any necessary changes to the unit. The traditionally simple manner of programming the SUMPI range extends to the KABScope. Once the access code has been entered correctly the complete programming menu opens up into a Windows based display. All parameters can be altered in this window. The parameters of the SUMPI will be reflected on the display of the KABScope.
74
STARTING KABScope
1. Switch off instrument and connect the KABScope cable to the Instrument and Computer. Make sure all transducers are connected properly. 2. Switch instrument on and hold for 1 second to start the instrument sending information. The instrument has a maximum KABScope timeout of 1 hour, whereby the instrument will stop sending information to the computer. Press again for 1
second to start the instrument sending information again. 3. Click the KABScope XP icon to launch program.
4. If the profile does not appear on screen the following must be done. Click on the Commport menu to setup the serial port, which the KABScope cable has been inserted into. 5. Select Maximum speed 38400. The Stop bits, Parity and Flow Control should be grayed out. 6. Click OK 7. The instruments profile should now be on screen.
75
PROGRAMMING IN KABScope
1. Click on the icon or Press F3 or Go to the menu Parameters
and then select SUMPI parameters 2. Enter the security code, 5159 is the default code. The following screen will appear:
3. All values that are saved on the SUMPI will appear on the KABScope programming page. 4. After all settings have been changed click on the save icon to save data to the SUMPI.
