The OTT RLS is based on impulse radar technology. The transmitting antenna transmits short radar pulses in the 24 GHz ISM band. The separate receiver antenna receives the pulses reflected from the water and uses them to determine the distance between sensor and water surface: the time taken by the radar pulses from transmission to reception is proportional to the distance between sensor and water surface. The actual water level of the waterway is then calculated using a scaling function by a datalogger attached to the radar sensor. For this a reference level has to be input when starting. The transmission antenna has a beam width of approx. ± 6°. The resulting sensor beam can be seen in the depiction in Figures 2 and 3. Three standardised electrical interfaces are available for connecting the OTT RLS to a datalogger or peripheral devices: 4 … 20 mA, SDI-12 and RS-485 (SDI-12 protocol). A gimbal mounting allows problem-free and simple mounting even on slanted surfaces. A waterproof terminal area can be found under a removable screw cover for attaching the sensor cable. Due to the low power consumption, a cable length of up to 1000 meters can be implemented for the power supply. The complete radar sensor is constructed to be proof against flooding (diving bell principle). Fig. 1: Overview of radar sensor OTT RLS. Gimbal mounting Removable screw cover Cover for transmission and receiving antenna (radom) Fig. 2: Application example 1: Mounting the OTT RLS on a bridge. The projection of the sensor beam onto the water surface is virtually round.

OTT RLS Sensor beam 5 Installing the OTT RLS Caution: The installation of the OTT RLS may only be undertaken by qualified persons (e. g. electrician)! The OTT RLS has no Ex protection! 5.1 Criteria for selecting a suitable mounting location Locations that come into question include, for example, bridges and auxiliary constructions directly above the waterway section to be measured. The minimum distance between lower edge of the sensor and water surface must be 0.8 m (dead area in which no useable measurement is possible). Select a mounting point high enough so that measurement is possible even with high water levels. The mounting point must be steady. Vibrations and movement of the mounting point must be avoided. Bridges are affected by movements of several centimeters as a result of load changes and temperature movements. The water surface must be as smooth as possible in the area of the sensor beam. Avoid turbulent areas and areas where obstructions in the waterway or bridge piers cause changes in the water level. The area within the sensor beam (see Figures 2 and 3) must be completely free of obstructions. Table for approximating the size of the sensor beam: Distance OTT RLS – Water surface 5m 10 m 15 m 20 m 25 m 30 m 35 m Diameter Sensor beam 1.06 2.12 3.19 4.25 5.31 6.38 7.44 The diameters given are minimum sizes. Where possible, select an area free of obstruction that is clearly larger. Avoid large metal surfaces near the sensor beam (reflections from these surfaces can distort the measurement result). The climate specifications in the technical data must be kept to at the mounting location. Stilling wells are unsuitable as a mounting location. WARNING Danger of explosion due to spark formation and electrostatic discharge The use of the OTT RLS in explosive atmospheres can lead to the danger of ignition of this atmosphere. An explosion resulting from this involves the risk of very severe material and personal damage. Never operate the OTT RLS in explosive areas (e. g. in sewers). 5.2 Notes on power supply The OTT RLS requires a power supply of 9.6 … 28 V direct current of type 12/24 V DC (e. g. a battery or mains connection with galvanically isolated low safety voltage). The OTT RLS is immediately ready for operation after connecting the power supply. Warning: The power supply must be protected by a fuse (5 ampere, blowing speed: fast) on the input side. When using solar panels, we recommend the use of an overvoltage protection device. 5.3 Suitable cable types when using the RS-485 interface The maximum length of the cable is 1,000 m. Recommended cable type: Twistedpair cable; unshielded (alternatively: shielded). The wires intended for the power supply can be twisted pair, but do not have to be. up to 400 m cable length: 2 x 2 x 0.34 mm2 e. g. Lapp UNITRONIC FD CP (TP) plus UL/CSA*, item no. 0030928; external diameter 8.8 mm 400 … 600 m cable length: 2 x 2 x 0.5 mm2 e. g. Lapp UNITRONIC FD CP (TP) plus UL/CSA*, item no. 0030937; external diameter 9.3 mm 600 to 1,000 m cable length: 2 x 2 x 0.75 mm2 e. g. Lapp UNITRONIC FD CP (TP) plus UL/CSA*, item no. 0030946; external diameter 10.2 mm * The outer casing of these cables is UV-steady and therefore ideally suitable for the external area. It is not necessary to attach the screen at these cable examples. 5.4 Mounting the OTT RLS Assembling the gimbal mounting Mounting surface: concrete or masonry Make four holes (Ø 8 mm/43 mm) deep using a hammer drill (use wall bracket as a template). Insert the four plastic plugs supplied into the holes. Attach the wall bracket using the four wood screws supplied. Insert housing bracket (without sensor) into wall bracket and lightly tighten the hex bolts A. Mounting surface: auxiliary construction, e. g. metal stand with mounting plate Drill four holes (Ø 7 mm) in the mounting plate (use wall bracket as a template). Attach the wall bracket e. g. using four hex bolts (M6) and nuts. Insert housing bracket (without sensor) into wall bracket and lightly tighten the hex bolts A. Preparing the cable gland Remove "Globemarker" (hexagon with size indication of cable diameters that can be used). With a cable diameter of 7.0 … 11.0 mm, remove inlet: insert screwdriver vertically into the seam. See Figure 4. Minimum cable diameter with inlet: 4.0 mm. Lever out inlet with screwdriver. Insert cable. Mounting the sensor Unscrew screw cover. Insert connecting cable through cable gland. Remove insulation from connecting cable. With flexible wires: put end caps on the wires. Connect the connecting cable to the terminal block. Take note for this of Chapter 5.5 to 5.9! If required, the terminal strip can be pulled out for connecting. Retighten connecting cable as necessary. Tighten the tightening nut of the cable gland (torque for tightening nut: 6 Nm). Screw on the screw cover and tighten firmly by hand. Insert sensor into housing bracket and lightly tighten the hex bolts B. Align the housing parallel (longitudinal and lateral axis) with the water surface using a spirit level. Tighten the hex bolts B on the housing shell. Tighten the hex bolts A on the wall and housing brackets. Check alignment of the OTT RLS once more. Warning: The alignment of the sensor parallel to the water surface must be carried out as accurately as possible! ➝ If alignment is out by 1.0 °, this leads to a linearity error of approx. 0.15 mm per meter change in the distance. ➝ If alignment is out by 2.5 °, this leads to a linearity error of approx. 1 mm per meter change in the distance. ➝ If alignment is out by 5 °, this leads to a linearity error of approx. 4 mm per meter change in the distance. Ensure no moisture enters the connection area when the screw cover is open! Fig. 4: OTT RLS – connection area.

(checking/setting: see operating instructions LogoSens 2/DuoSens, Chapter SDI-12 transparent mode.) Typical setting: 0 (only one OTT RLS is connected to the terminal block; no bus operation). identifies which value (the xth of n values) of the OTT RLS is recorded in this channel. Typical setting: 1 (first of three values: level in [m]) M! (for the maximum 3 values + status information of the OTT RLS). Allocation of the other two measured values + status information of the OTT RLS to virtual terminals (level in [cm]; level in [ft]; status information; see Chapter 6.1 for further information; command aM!). In the relevant Channel function blocks, adjust the required units and number of digits after the decimal place (m: 3; cm: 0; ft: 2). Note: To record all three values + status information of an OTT RLS, four channels in the LogoSens 2/DuoSens are thus necessary. The first channel contains the function block SDI-12 Master or OTT SDI RS485 as the input signal. The other channels each contain a function block Virtual Sensor (V02 to V04) as the input signal. Naturally, just individual channels can be recorded. In this case, there are fewer entries required in the Value no./Virtual terminal ID field. Please note: The measuring time is approx. 20 seconds. 5.9 Connecting the OTT RLS to LogoSens 2 or DuoSens using a 4 … 20 mA interface Connect the OTT RLS to the LogoSens 2 Station Manager or to the DuoSens Compact Datalogger as shown in Figure 11 and 12.

Point 1: 4 ➝ 35; Point 2: 20 ➝ 0). In the Channel function block, set the unit and number of digits after the decimal place (m: 3; cm: 0; ft: 2). Note on points 5.5 to 5.9 To reference OTT RLS measured values to a level zero: Input the contact gauge/staff gauge measurement, for example using the scaling function of the datalogger, connected to the OTT RLS (e. g. LogoSens 2/DuoSens). 16 6 SDI-12 commands and responses 6.1 Standard commands All SDI-12 standard commands are implemented in the OTT RLS: The following SDI-12 standard commands are relevant for the operation of the OTT RLS: Command Response Description a! aconfirmation active a - sensor address aI! allccccccccmmmmmm… …vvvxxxx send identification a– Sensor address ll – SDI-12 protocol version cccccccc – manufacturer's identification (company name) mmmmmm – sensor identification vvv – sensor version xxxxxx – serial number OTT RLS reply= 13OTT HACH . . .

Where you do not require the whole measuring range, this has the advantage that a higher resolution for the 4 … 20 mA interface can be achieved. Example: 16 mA measurement span stands for 2 m of water level change available (e.g. lower limit = +14,000 m; upper limit = +16,000 m). 18 7 Carrying out maintenance work The OTT RLS radar sensor is almost maintenance free. No setting or calibration work is necessary. There are likewise no parts that need replacing regularly. Carry out the following maintenance work at regular frequencies based on the local circumstances: Check the OTT RLS for dirt (e. g. thick, dewy spider's webs or insect nests can lead to impairment of the measured results). In this case, carefully clean the sensor. At the same time, ensure that the setting of the gimbal mounting does not change. Check for obstructions in the measurement beam (for example, for flotsam or branches of trees and bushes growing into this area). In this case, remove all obstructions. Check the plausibility of the measured values by comparing with a second sensor or with a staff gauge. Warning: Never open the housing of the OTT RLS (exception: connection area)! There are no adjustment or operating elements inside the housing. 8 Repair With a device defect, use Chapter 9 , Searching for disruptions/error correction to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

The devices concerned by this are marked with the symbol shown aside. For further information on the return procedure, please contact your ocal sales contact. You will find the addresses of all sales partners in the internet on "www.ott.com". Please take into consideration also the national implementation of the EU guideline 2002/96/EC of your country. For all other countries Dispose of the OTT RLS properly after taking out of service. Observe the regulations valid in your country for the disposal of electronic devices. Never put the OTT RLS into the normal household waste. 21 11 Determining the maximum load resistance at the 4 … 20 mA interface The load resistance (resistor) connected to the OTT RLS must not exceed a specific maximum value. This value depends on the level of the supply voltage of the OTT RLS. If the load resistance is greater, the output current can no longer be evaluated. Smaller load resistances are allowed. Read off the maximum load resistance for your power supply from the following diagram. Example: Power supply 18 volt ➝ max. load resistance 450 ohm. The OTT RLS delivers an output current corresponding to the measured value for a load resistance of up to 450 ohm. Dimension the connected electrical circuit accordingly. Check the input resistance of the connected peripheral device for this purpose. Figure 14. Diagram to determine the maximum load resistance as a function of the power supply.
