ENCLOSURE

While the enclosure housing is liquid-resistant the EchoTouch® transmitter is not designed to be operational

upon being 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 (US06

series only), 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 EchoTouch®, choose either the WebCal® (all versions of EchoTouch®) or Push Button

method (US06 series only). 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.

CONFIGURING ECHOTOUCH® (DISPLAY) – US06 SERIES ONLY

TOP-LEVEL MENU

The transmitter is configured with the three buttons on the transmitter face (UP, DOWN and OK) and the

transmitter’s LCD. To access the transmitter’s Top-level menu, simply hold down the OK button for five

seconds. The display menu will automatically begin to scroll through the TOP-LEVEL MENU.

When the menu scrolls to an item you wish to configure, simply press the OK button to choose that item. The

TOP-LEVEL MENU will continue to scroll through the following (UNITS – TANK – dISPLY – OUTPUT –

VALUES – RUN), If you miss your selection, it will appear again shortly.

 To return to the TOP-LEVEL MENU, press OK when EXIT appears.

 To return to Operational Mode of the transmitter, press OK when RUN appears in the TOP-LEVEL

MENU.

 Note: To speed up the scrolling of the values on the display, hold down the OK button while holding

down the UP or DOWN buttons.

STEP 1 - MEASURE THE TANK

Measuring the tank is one of the most important aspects in

configuring the transmitter. When measuring the tank, take into

account the location of the transmitter with respect to fittings,

risers, dome tops and bottoms, and identify where the

measurements are taken from the transmitter. The HEIGHT

(4mA) and FILL-H (20mA) settings determine the 4-20mA span

and are always measured from the bottom of the tank up.

Height: Sets the location for 4mA. It is based on the distance

from the Empty level position (bottom of tank) to the

Measurement location for the sensor (bottom of sensor).

Fill-Height: Sets the location for 20mA. It is based on the

distance from the Empty level position (bottom of tank) to the Full

level position (see below).

#2 - SETTING THE UNITS OF MEASUREMENT (UNITS)

The EchoTouch

displays information in the following units:

inches, feet, centimeters, meters or percentage. The value

shown on the display represents the amount of liquid in the

tank.

1) In TOP-LEVEL MENU mode, select UNITS by pressing OK.

2) Next, select INCHES, FEET, CM, METERS by pressing

OK.

3) Finally, select EXIT by pressing OK to return to the TOP-

LEVEL MENU.

QS300820 Rev A2 7 |

#3 - SETTING THE HEIGHT (SENSOR HEIGHT OR 4mA) AND FILL-HEIGHT (FILL-H OR 20mA)

This setting customizes the reading for your installation. Follow these instructions to set the height and fill

height for your tank:

1) In TOP-LEVEL MENU mode, select TANK.

2) Select HEIGHT.

3) Use the UP and DOWN buttons, set the

HEIGHT of your tank.

4) To enter the value, press and hold OK for 5

seconds and release. SAVED will display.

HEIGHT is now set.

5) Select FILL-H.

6) Use the UP and DOWN buttons, set the Fill-

H of your tank.

7) To enter the value, press and hold OK for 5

seconds and release. SAVED will display.

FILL-H is now set.

8) Select EXIT by pressing OK to return to the TOP-LEVEL MENU.

9) Select RUN by pressing OK to return to Operational Mode.

Note: The Height (4mA) and Fill Height (20mA) settings also determine the 4 to 20 mA current span.

#4 - HOW TO SELECT FAIL-SAFE CURRENT OUTPUT (LOST)

In the event the transmitter does not receive an

echo, the Fail-Safe Current Output or LOST

setting can be set to output a current of 4mA,

20mA, 21mA, 22mA or HOLD (last known value).

During fail-safe, the display will read LOST.

1) In TOP-LEVEL MENU mode, select SAFE.

2) Select 4mA, 20mA, 21mA, 22mA or

HOLD.

a. Press and hold OK on the selected

setting for 2 seconds then release.

3) Select EXIT to return to the TOP-LEVEL

MENU.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you face any issues not addressed in this Quick Start, please refer to the EchoTouch® Manual located on

Flowline’s website at www.flowline.com.

| 8 QS300820 Rev A2

MOUNTING ECHOTOUCH®

The transmitter 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

EchoTouch® 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 3” LM52-3890 with a

reducer bushing such as the LM52-2400 (3” to 2”).

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 4". Larger diameter

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

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

Diameter or 12” Height to 6” 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 transmitter and

the stand pipe.

IMPORTANT MOUNTING GUIDELINES

1) Never mount the transmitter at an angle.

2) Liquid should never enter the dead band.

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

4) Never mount the transmitter in a vacuum.

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

6) Never mount in the center of a dome top tank.

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

8) Avoid mounting in a riser where the transmitter 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 transmitter in a stand-pipe, the minimum diameter of

the pipe is 2” for the US01 and US03 series and 3” for the US06 series. 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 transmitter (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 transmitter’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.

ANALOG OUTPUT (4-20 MA)

The analog output of the EchoTouch® is a loop powered 4-20 mA control circuit. The typical way to use this

feature is to connect a positive supply to the (+) input and to sense the current flow out of the (-) output. For all

Intrinsically Safe applications, refer to control drawing 600820 for the US06 series and 610125 for the US01

and US03 series. All control drawing can be found at flowline.com.

The cabling should be a shielded twisted pair to minimize EMI interference. Typically 20 to 24 gauge wire is

used in this application.
