cncsparky Posts: 32 Rating: (2)	Looking for information on a Milltronics AirRanger XPL. We have one that is failing and no spares. The part number I can find is 83310000 Unable to locate a manual online, can anyone help with this? Also, is there a Siemens model to update to? We are using the MultiRanger 100's elsewhere, but this AirRanger XPL is the only unit that apparently handles 4 or more ultrasonics at a time. Thanks!

For the Airanger Plus, you will find the manual here: https://cache.industry.siemens.com/dl/files/233/18999233/att_59596/v1/7ML19981AN02.pdf Unfortunately, I only have a printed manual of the very old Airanger XPL. Let me know If this will be needed and I scan this for you.The replacement for the 10-channel controller Airanger XPLPlus was the Sitrans LU10, which has been retired one mounth ago (January 2017). There are only single and dual-point versions controllers available now. That would mean , it will be needed to go for 5 dual-point versions of the Multiranger 100/200. Please note, that this unit can only handle transducers with a frequency of 44 Khz, like e.g. the XRS-5; XPS-10/15, ST-H, the old XCT-8/12 ect. For all transducers with different frequency, like e.g. the XPS 30 (30 Khz), the old XPS-40 (20 Khz) you have to go for the Sitrans LUT400. Please note, that this unit is only available as a single point version, means you will need 10 units of the LUT400. Hope this helps !

cncsparky Posts: 32 Rating: (2)	Thanks! This is not the Plus model, just AirRanger XPL. There are only 4 sensors it is using now, one of the channels went dead some time back and a MultiRanger was added just for that one. Looks like we will be converting the others soon. Will get back to you if I need the manual, still looking here for ours. Need to pull the parameters off the AirRanger while it is still working.

The dual-point versions can handle 2 independent measurements and will come with a seperate input for the trancducer and a seperate mA output for each channel. The only difference between the MR100 and MR200 is, that the MR100 only can handle level measurements. Additional to this, the MR200 can also handle differencial and OCM (open channel flow) measurements.The relays can always be programmed for channel 1 and channel 2 to set e.g. alarms. There is also a new version of the MR200 available now, it´s called Multiranger 200 HMI (HumanMachineInterface). With this version, you will have a new menue driven parameter structure with local 4-button programming. There is no handprogrammer needed anymore. Please find the links : Multiranger 100/200 https://w3app.siemens.com/mcms/infocenter/dokumentencenter/sc/pi/InfocenterLanguagePacks/Catalog%20sheet%20MultiRanger%20100,200/sitransl_multi100200_fi01_en.pdf Multiranger 200 HMI https://w3app.siemens.com/mcms/infocenter/dokumentencenter/sc/pi/InfocenterLanguagePacks/Catalog%20sheet%20MultiRanger%20200%20HMI/sitransl_multi200hmi_fi01_en.pdf cncsparky The multiranger 200 can run as two independent level controllers?

I have the handheld programmer for the single Milltronics Multirangers, assuming this will work for the Air Ranger also. Is it possible for you to at least scan any information, from your manual, that would help us to get the parameters out of the Air Ranger? Thanks!

I doubt that the original handheld programmer is still available. The XPL has been obsolete for quite some time. But the good news is that the ultrasonic handheld programmers all produced the same infrared output for any given key position on the keypad, even though the the labels differed from one model to another. That means that the top left key always generates the same IR output code, even though the label might be different. It's the position of the key on the keypad that is important. The attached graphic shows the old AiRanger XPL programmer next to a recent version programmer. [snip] The manual provides the original key button image used to navigate or enter parameters. You'll have to identify which position key was used for a given label/key button image and relate that to the new programmer. Attachment Old XPL and recent ultrasonics.JPG (289 Downloads)
