PTU51 Mechanical Installation
Important!!! close to the sensor there is a “blind zone” of
0.3m where the instrument can’t measure (see fig.3). To
reach a good and safe measurement, avoiding spurious
echoes (not reflected by the surface), take care of the
positioning of the PTU51 sensor and check that no obstacles
are interferring with the ultrasonic waves emission lobe (see
fig.2).

3. CONFIGURAZIONE
The PTU51 configuration and calibration can be done in two different ways:
- via MODBUS RTU by PC
- by the keyboard VLW601 module
3.1 Via MODBUS RTU
3.1.1 MODBUS RTU PC connection (fig.10)
1)
RS232 or USB connector
2)

3.2 Via VLW601
3.2.1 Keyboard/display module VLW601 (fig.11)
The VLW601 module can be the easy way to configure your PTU51.
The VLW601module has a large matrix LCD (Fig.12)
Also you can view the measure with:
- 2 values (small characters)
- 1 value (big characters)
The operating manual allows an easy and fast start-up through the keyboard.
Note: if VLW601 is connected, MODBUS RTU is not enable.
Fig.11
4. VLW601 MODULE
The VLW601 programming module has 4 buttons (Fig.12) that allows for all transmitter control and
programming operational functions:
- From “RUN” mode: press
- Press
to enter “PROGRAM” mode, press
to quit
to move the cursor on the parameter you want to use and confirm with
- To edit numbers, press
to modify the digit shown in negative, press
confirm and store the number. Press
to edit the next digit, press
to
to quit
In the display top right there is always a number, eg. "1.2". This number is the menu or parameter index that’s
displayed
The menu structure is represented on page 4 and page 5
