European Commission Requirements
- Ensure that the relevant items of equipment are properly and securely earthed to a common earth point
using adequately sized cable or other means of connection.
Where supplied or specified, shielded interconnection cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure
compliance with the pertinent RF limits. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the company
could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
This product has been rigorously tested to comply with the European EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
Directive. With regard to this, Beta LaserMike recommends that any non-Beta LaserMike peripheral
equipment is CE marked for the Heavy Industrial environment (EN50082-2). Beta LaserMike also
recommends that any cables not supplied by Beta LaserMike, but used for powering Beta LaserMike
equipment, be built using good EMC practices (i.e. cables with braided shield, and connectors with 360
termination of the braid to a metal/metalised shell connector at both ends). If you have any questions
regarding this, contact the Beta LaserMike Service Department.

Introduction
UltraScan DSP
2) When the sound wave hits the outer wall of the product, it changes
speed and a reflection, or echo occurs. Some of the sound energy is
reflected at the wall, but the remaining energy continues to travel
through the product. When the remaining energy hits the inside wall
of the product, it again changes speed and another reflection, or
echo, occurs. Both of the echoes from the product walls travel back
to the ultrasonic transducer. The transducer then converts these
echoes into an electrical signal that is sent back to the UltraScan
DSP.

Safety Considerations
Any electrical connections should be performed by a person
suitably qualified for the country of installation.
This equipment must be earthed/grounded.
HIGH VOLTAGES are present inside of the UltraScan DSP
unit. DO NOT attempt to service the UltraScan DSP unit.
Contact Beta LaserMike if there is a reason to service the
unit that requires the opening of the unit.
Performance Considerations
All cables interconnecting UltraScan DSP equipment shall be:
braid/foil shielded cables, including shielded metal
backshells
approved by Beta LaserMike
Failure to install shielded cables with the UltraScan DSP system can
cause degradation of system performance and loss of CE
compliance

RTS
This signal is the standard RS232 Request To Send signal. The signal is
an output from the gauge and is usually high (+12V). The signal will go
low if the gauge cannot accept any more RS232 characters. This will only
occur if the characters are sent at high baud rate continuously over a long
period. The computer sending the characters must stop until this signal
goes high again otherwise some characters will be lost.
CTS
This signal is the standard RS232 Clear To Send signal. The signal is an
input to the gauge and is usually high (+12V). If the signal is pulled low (-
12V) the gauge will not send characters to the computer. This line should
be used if the computer cannot accept data as fast as the gauge can
send it. The characters are not forgotten while this signal is low and will
be transmitted when the signal becomes high again. The signal is pulled
high inside the gauge so if this signal is not required the signal can be left
unconnected. If this pin is left low and characters are still sent to request
data, the RTS line will eventually go low to tell the sending computer that
it can no longer remember all of the characters waiting to be sent. Some
characters must be read by pulling CTS high before RTS will go high to
allow more characters to be accepted by the gauge.

LED Indicator
The LED Indicator on the front panel of the UltraScan DSP shall be lit
whenever the unit is powered. When the UltraScan DSP unit has not yet
initialised or is not yet measuring and locked onto a valid measurement
sample, the LED shall be RED in colour. When the UltraScan DSP unit is
measuring and locked onto a valid measurement sample, then the LED
shall be GREEN in colour.
The LED indicator can be used as a quick check to verify that the
ultrasonic gauge is connected properly to the UltraScan DSP and that the
UltraScan DSP is configured properly for the gauge connected and
sample being measured.

Downloading Software
Downloading Software
The UltraScan DSP platform incorporates a Fujitsu microcontroller that
handles all the communication interfaces and general processing and a
Texas Instruments digital signal processor (DSP) that collects and
processes the measurement signals. The software for the microcontroller
is stored in the microcontrollers internal flash memory and the software
for the DSP is stored in the external flash memory connected to the DSP.
A loader program is stored in the microcontrollers flash memory, enabling
the gauge software to be downloaded and upgraded at any time; it is also
possible for the loader program to upgrade itself. New microcontroller
software is downloaded using the download application BL90543, version
5 or newer.
The DSP software is capable of updating its external flash memory with a
new version of the DSP software. The DSP does not employ a software
loader program but instead uses a hardware loader to move the first
64KB of program from the external flash to its internal program memory at
start-up. New DSP software is downloaded using the UltraScanDSP DSP
code updater utility.
Important: When upgrading both the microcontroller and DSP software,
it is recommended that the DSP software be upgraded first to
avoid any possible incompatibilities between the old DSP
software and the new microcontroller software.
Equipment
PC running Windows 95/98/ME or NT/2000/XP
UltraScanDSP/DeviceNet 24VDC power supply
RS232 cable, 9 pin to 9 pin

o Binary file for DSP program 91949.out
If downloading the microcontroller software for the first time, or if the
microcontroller loader program has been corrupted, it is necessary to
install the new loader program from scratch. This will require the gauge
to be opened to change a jumper setting. Once the loader is installed and
