Bindicator SonoTracker Ultrasonic Liquid Level, Installation & Operation Manual, Page: 47 / 96

INTRODUCTION
Refer below to the block diagram of the initial part of the Startup Procedure, and
Figure 15
for the remainder of
the Startup Procedure. The SonoTracker Series is designed to get you up and running quickly once the system is
installed. The SonoTracker Series controller guides you through the initial Startup Procedure. During the Startup
Procedure, you will be asked to input a number of parameters, including the following (
See Figure 16
):
• Maximum Head — The maximum head for your primary element is available from the flow chart supplied
by the primary element manufacturer.
• Zero Distance — If doing a Manual Calibration during Startup, measure the zero flow distance, the
distance from the face of the transducer to the bottom of the channel.
• Current Head — If doing an Auto Calibration during Startup, measure the current head height just before
you input the value to perform an accurate calibration.

Note: The maximum distance a transducer can measure depends on the type of material being measured. Do
not enter a value for Zero Distance greater than the transducer’s capability. Zero Distance minus Max head must
be greater than 12”.
