WELCOME TO THE ECHOPOD® QUICK START

The EchoPod® Quick Start provides basic mounting, setup and use instructions for getting the EchoPod®

up and running quickly. If you have a non-standard installation or setup requirement that is not

addressed here, please refer to the EchoPod® Manual or other support documentation located at

flowline.com.

WE DO YOUR LEVEL BEST

Thank you for purchasing EchoPod®. The sensor provides integrated LCD and three push-button

configuration. This quick start includes everything you’ll need to get the sensor up and running.

COMPONENTS

Depending on how the sensor part number that was shipped, EchoPod® comes with a Viton® gasket for

installation and the Quick Start.

ENCLOSURE

While the switch housing is liquid-resistant the EchoPod® is not designed to be operational when immersed. It

should be mounted in such a way that the enclosure and transducer do not come into contact with the

application media under normal operational conditions. Before closing the enclosure, make sure that the

enclosure gasket is properly seated, and that any conduit fittings, cable connectors or plugs are installed

correctly and sealed. Note: If using the Flowline LM90-1001 (liquid tight fitting) on the ½” conduit, the cable

minimum is 0.170” (4.3mm) and the maximum is 0.450” (11.4mm).

CONFIGURATION

When configuring EchoPod®, choose either the WebCal® or Push Button method. Either method will

accomplish the goal of sensor configuration. Changes to the configuration can be made using the alternative

method. When beginning with one method, it is recommended to complete the configuration before using the

other method to make any adjustments.

Note: When connecting the sensor to the WebCal®Software, you must remove the display or the software will

not connect. Once completed, you can re-connect the display to the terminal.

STEP 4 - SENSOR CONFIGURATION

Configures the Loop Fail-Safe, Output at Empty and Startup Condition for the sensor.

STEP 5 – DIMENSIONAL ENTRY

Distance Mode (default): Output of sensor is based on the distance (height of liquid) in the tank. Any change

in liquid level will reflect linearly to the current output. The two values (Sensor Height and Fill-Height) below set

the 4-20 mA current span for the sensor. Both values will be set in the units shown under Height Units.

Height Units: Confirm units for use in Sensor Height and Fill-Height settings.

Sensor Height: Sets the location for 4mA. It is based on the distance from the Empty level position to

the Measurement location for the sensor (see below).

Fill-Height: Sets the location for 20mA. It is based on the distance from the Empty level position to

the Full level position (see below).

QS310140 Rev A1 5 |

STEP 6 - TANK LEVEL CONFIRMATION

Verify the Height Units, Sensor Height & Fill-Height. All values were calculated and set in the previous

Dimensional Entry window. Make any adjustments if required.

| 6 QS310140 Rev A1

STEP 7 - WRITE TO UNIT

This WebCal®* operation uploads the configuration into the sensor, provides a custom wiring diagram specific

to the signal output and/or relay configuration, and saves the configuration file to your hard drive.

* For complete information on the WebCal® software, please refer to the WebCal® manual located at

flowline.com/webcal-software.

Before configuration can be completed:

 You must click the Write to Unit button to save the settings to the unit.

 Then, click Wiring Diagram for a hard copy of the sensor’s settings.

 Finally, enter the file name under which you wish to save the configuration file and click Save Config

File.

Configuration is now complete.

Disconnect the USB® Fob before continuing to the next step: Mounting the EchoPod®.

MOUNTING ECHOPOD®

The sensor should always be mounted perpendicular to the liquid surface. Insure that there are no restrictions

or obstacles in the path of the acoustic signal. For further mounting information, please refer to the EchoPod®

manual at www.flowline.com.

Installation in existing 3” fittings:

Use a LM52-2400 3” thread x 2” thread adapter or a LM52-2410 3”

slip x 3” thread adapter.

Basic Tank Installation:

Use a 2” bulkhead fitting, such as the LM52-2890 bulkhead fitting.

Use a larger bulkhead fitting, such as the LM52-3890 with a

reducer bushing such as the LM52-2400.

Use a flange with a 2” thread, such as the LM52-2850.

Weld a plastic 2” half coupling to the tank top.

Mounting in Riser:

Installations with tall, narrow risers can impede the acoustic signal.

2" diameter risers should be no taller than 5". Larger diameter

risers should be no taller than 12". For best results, follow a 2:1

Height to Inner Diameter ratio (example: 8” High to 4” Inner

Diameter).

Installation in open tanks and sumps:

Use Flowline's LM50-1001 side mount bracket.

Note: The Side Mount Bracket (LM50 series) is not designed

for use with stand pipes or as a method to secure stand pipes.

There are too few threads to properly hold the sensor and the

stand pipe.

IMPORTANT MOUNTING GUIDELINES

1) Never mount the sensor at an angle.

2) Liquid should never enter the dead band.

3) Mount at least 3” from the side wall.

4) Never mount the sensor in a vacuum.

5) Do not obstruct the sensor’s beam width with objects underneath the sensor.

6) Avoid mounting in the center of a dome top tank.

7) In a cone bottom tank, position the sensor over the deepest part of the tank.

8) Avoid mounting in a riser where the sensor is recessed more than twice the diameter of the riser.

MOUNTING IN A STAND-PIPE

A stand-pipe may be used to dampen turbulence, separate surface foam from the point of measurement or

increase performance in heavy vapor. When mounting the sensor in a stand-pipe, the minimum diameter of the

pipe is 3”. Larger diameter pipes can be used. The pipe should be attached with a coupling or tank adapter and

reducer bushing. Avoid the use of multiple pipe fittings when possible. An ideal mount would be to select a 3”

tank adapter (S x T or S x S) and connect the pipe to the inside slip and use a reducer bushing to attach the

sensor (see example below).

The pipe length should run the measurement span and the bottom of the pipe should remain submerged at all

times to prevent foam from entering the pipe. Cut the bottom end of the pipe at 45° and drill a 1/4” pressure

equalization hole within the sensor’s dead band. Locate the stand-pipe away from pump outlets and/or other

sources of substantial turbulence which might cause the liquid in the pipe to oscillate.
