Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use.GENERALThe NIVOSONAR SLM-308 Scanner is a panel mount equipment used in theNIVOSONAR Two-part Ultrasonic Measurement Systems for scanning up to8 identical S-300 SenSonar Sensors for the SMM/SMZ-300 Remote Control Unit.TECHNICAL DATAType SLM-308Sensor connection max. 8, identical S-300 SenSonar sensors“POLLED SENSOR” output LO= 0...2 V, 1.6 mA, HI= 6...8 V, 1.6 mASupply voltage 24V, 110V, 230 V AC, 50…60 Hz, -10…+10%Power consumption < 35 VAPower supply for sensors 24 V, max. 600 mA DCAmbient temperature 0... +50°CConnecting cables 0.5 - 2.5 mm 2shielded cable with plug-in terminalElectrical protection Class II.Mechanical protection Front side: IP40, Rear side: IP20Weight 1.25 kgUSER’S MANUALManufacturer:NIVELCO Process Control Co.H-1043 Budapest, Dugonics u. 11.Tel.: (36-1)-369-7575 Fax: (36-1)-369-8585E-mail: sales@nivelco.com http://www.nivelco.comOPERATIONThe NIVOSONAR SLM-308 Scanner works as a multiplexerfor the Remote Control unit.All sensors receive the power supply and the “FIRE” signalsmaking them able to emit ultrasonic signals continuously.The Remote Control Unit can process one sensor at a time,thus only one “PRE” signal is forwarded to the controller at atime.The complete processing time required for a sensor isbetween 5 and 12 sec, depending on the measuringfrequency.The control unit can be programmed for manual or automaticscanning (see later).The scanner has a status indication LED beside eachsensors name on its front panel:• The illuminated LED indicates the sensor to whichthe display and the current output corresponds.The display and current output corresponds tothe sensor until the LED is illuminated.• The blinking LED indicates the sensor that iscurrently under processing by the control unit.• In automatic scanning mode, one LED is alwaysilluminated (outputs corresponds to this sensor),while another is blinking (this sensor is underprocessing).Removing the front panel, the tag-number plates can beaccessed for labelling each tank.
