ABOUT POINTEK ULS 200
Pointek ULS 200 is to be used only in the manner
outlined in this instruction manual.
Pointek ULS 200 is an ultrasonic based process level switch providing high or low alarm
indication on liquids or solids. The process part (sensor) is Tefzel®or Kynar Flex®, allowing it
to be used in a wide variety of industries.
Pointek ULS 200 contains an ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing element. The
transducer emits a series of ultrasonic pulses. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from the
material and sensed by the transducer. Pointek ULS 200 processes the echo using Milltronic’s
proven "Sonic Intelligence®" techniques. Filtering is applied to help discriminate between the
true echo from the material, and false echoes from acoustical and electrical noises and
agitator blades in motion. The time for the pulse to travel to the material and back is
temperature compensated and then converted into distance for display and alarm actuation.
The Pointek ULS 200 is an excellent primary detection device, but should not be used as
a backup device. For backup devices use a contacting technology such as the Pointek
CLS 200.
The optional sanitary version affords quick removal and ease of cleaning as demanded by the
food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

INSTALLATION
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Pointek ULS 200 should be mounted in an area that is within the temperature range
specified and that is suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. The cover
should be accessible to allow programming, wiring and display viewing.
It is advisable to keep the Pointek ULS 200 away from high voltage or current runs, contactors
and SCR control drives.
Warning: Explosion Hazard.
Substitution of components may impair suitability
for Class 1, Division 2 applications
LOCATION
Locate the Pointek ULS 200 so that it has a clear sound path perpendicular to the
material surface.
The Pointek ULS 200 sound path should not intersect the fill path, rough walls, seams,
rungs, etc.

MOUNTING AND DIMENSION
Mount the ULS 200 with the sensor face at least 25 cm above the highest anticipated level.
THREADED
The Pointek ULS 200 is available in three thread types: 2" NPT, 2" BSP or PF2.
Before mounting the Pointek ULS 200, insure that the mating threads are of the same type,
otherwise the threads can be damaged.
Dimensions are nominal and may very with material types.
Non metallic enclosure does not provide grounding between connections.
Use grounding type bushings and jumpers.
