Ultra 3

Ultra 3 combines several full-function, world-beating ultrasonic level measurement instruments into one. Pulsar engineers have created devices that can be simply configured by the user to provide top-drawer performance. Through the use of ULTRAWIZARD, an integrated high level software configuration tool, you choose your application and the Ultra unit leads you through the set-up process for that specific operation. Full control functions are available: open channel flow is calculated to BS ISO1438 and 4359. Pump control features are built into Ultra3,  and an extensive set of volume calculations and linearisation facilities are available for a tank or silo level measurement task.

Ultra 3 features the benefits of DATEM , the world’s most advanced echo processing software, for level measurement.

Level

Perfect for the wide range of level measurement applications in solids and liquids found in the food, cement, pharmaceutical, chemical, power generation and many more industries. In level measurement configuration Ultra 3 has three control relays and a measurement range from 125mm to 50m.

Volume

Ultra 3 features pre-programmed tank shape conversion for a wide variety of standard tank shapes including: cylindrical, rectangular, cone base, pyramid base, sloped base, horizontal including parabolic ended tanks and spherical. Unusual shapes are also accommodated through the 32 point linearisation function.

Pump control

Pulsar pump control units are used throughout the global water and waste industries. Ultra 3 gives you sophisticated pump control on changing level or rate of level change to provide:

• Power on delay, allows to delay switching on pumps when power resumes.
• Pump start delay, allows delay switching on pumps after another has started.
• Fixed duty assist/Fixed duty back up
• Alternate duty assist
• Alternate duty back up
• Duty back up and assist
• Service ratio duty assist
• Service ratio duty back up
• FOFO (alternate first on first off duty assist)

Channel Flow

Ultra 3 in open channel flow mode provides non- contacting, maintenance free flow measurement and control in a wide range of flumes and weirs by calculating flow from the measured head preceding a primary element. Flow calculation to BS ISO 1438 and 4359. Three relays for control choices.
A data logging board is an optional extra, with RS485 together with Profibus DP V0 and V1 or Modbus communications.


Display:

• 8 digit on-board totaliser
• 6 digit display of flowrate or head
• Bar indicator displaying head or flow

Ultra 5

Ultra 5 offers the ultimate flexibility in ultrasonic control and measurement. Like Ultra 3, Ultra 5 is user-configurable to measure level or volume, provide advanced pump control or measure open channel flow to BS ISO 1438 and 4359. Over and above the facilities offered by Ultra 3, Ultra 5 gives you the ultimate flexibility of: five assignable relays with extra alarm options such as pump efficiency; extra pump control functions including pump run-on and pump exercising; storm and aeration control; differential control using two transducers, the addition of further relays in OCM applications.

Ultra 5 features the benefit of DATEM, the world’s most advanced echo processing software, for reliable level measurement.

Level

All the features of the Ultra 3 with 2 additional relays. Offers optional 4 -20mA input for a pressure transmitter or similar.

Volume

All the features of the Ultra 3 with 2 additional control/alarm relays.

Pump control

Ultra 5 in pump control configuration is a premium specification ultrasonic pump control unit offering many standard features. Advanced control functions include:
Pump run-on, allowing the user to set both the run-on interval and the duration, for periodic pumping past the off point to remove solids from pump stations.
Pump exercising, causes pumps to come on when a period of non operation has occurred, idle time and exercise time can be set.
Start point variation, reduces material build up on the walls at the ‘normal’ level by setting a band in which the switch point varies.
Storm control feature permits the identification of a storm condition and operate any relay with specific points being set to accommodate needs during a storm, and the ability to disable other relays during the storm if required.
Aeration control activates on elapsed time (since pumps ran), in little used well. Introduces air to reduce well gases.
Flush valve control activates a re-circulation valve for a specific time based on pump cycle frequency, Prevents solids settling.

Data logs

Running total of individual pump running hours. Running total of individual pump starts. Running total of individual pump run-ons.

Differential

Ultra 5 offers further sophistication with the inclusion of differential level capability using two transducers. With one upstream and the other downstream of a screen or penstock, an alarm or control signal is initiated as the difference between the level exceeds a user- defined limit to automatically operate the cleaning mechanism.

Open Channel Flow

All the features of the Ultra 3 with 2 additional relays. With the additional step/time control for use with a penstock.
A data logging board is an optional extra with RS485 connection and large data log capability together with Profibus DP V0 and V1 or Modbus communications.

UltraTWIN

Twin-channel ultrasonic level/volume monitoring, pump control, open channel flow measurement or any combination of these.
Flexibility is the keyword for the UltraTWIN 2 channel ultrasonic system. Each
channel is user-configurable to operate independently either as a full function open channel flow monitor calculating flow rate to BS ISO 1438 and 4359, a pump control system or as a level and volume monitoring unit for liquids or solids, calculating  set up volumes and providing alarms. UltraTWIN is compatible with the full range of Pulsar’s dB transducers, from the ultra-high resolution dBMACH3 to the powerful 50m range dB50. Six relays configurable to either channel provide full alarm and control options.

Level/Volume measurement

Use the level/volume measurement setting and ultraTWIN provides everything you would get from the Pulsar Ultra 3 or Ultra 5 in level measurement mode. UltraTWIN in level/volume mode will calculate volumes based on a wide variety of standard tank shapes and is equally at home measuring liquids and solids.

Open Channel Flow measurement

When you select the Open Channel Flow option, are getting the full power of Pulsar’s flow measurement expertise, the choice of waste water companies and process industries worldwide to measure open channel flow within effluent treatment processes. Features include on-board totalisation and pulsed output. UltraTWIN provides outstanding accuracy when teamed with the high resolution accuracy of the dBMACH3 transducer.

Pump Control

In pump control configuration, ultraTWIN provides all the power of the Pulsar Ultra 3. Extremely reliable level monitoring even in the most difficult applications, it also provides a wide range of sophisticated pump control routines to keep the application running perfectly. UltraTWIN also includes four digital inputs, making it possible to monitor the performance of other equipment, for example a no-flow signal from a pump can trigger an alarm without the need for a PLC.

Data logging/Digital Communications

A powerful data logging solution can be added to the ultraTWIN system. As a factory fit option, level and flow information is recorded and "date stamped" at user defined intervals to build up a complete picture of the changing situation on site. Information may be stored for up to a year, and easily downloaded to a computer through a standard RJ11 port. The data logging solution offers Pulsar’s PC Ultra Log software package, which records and charts data and trends in an easily accessible form.
UltraTWIN may also be upgraded to include RS485 communications, operating the Modbus or Profibus DP V0 or V1 protocols.
