WARNING
This instrument contains electronic components
that are susceptible to damage by static
electricity. Proper handling procedures must
be observed during the removal, installation, or
handling of internal circuit boards or devices:
Handling Procedure:
1. Power to unit must be removed prior to
commencement of any work.
2. Personnel must be grounded, via wrist strap
or other safe, suitable means, before any
printed circuit board or other internal devices
are installed, removed or adjusted.
3. Printed circuit boards must be transported
in a conductive bag or other conductive
container. Boards must not be removed from
protective container until the immediate time
of installation. Removed boards must be
placed immediately in a protective container
for transport, storage, or return to factory.
Comments:
This instrument is not unique in its content
of ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive
components. Most modern electronic designs
contain components that ut ilize metal oxide
technology (NMOS, CMOS, etc.). Experience
has proven that even small amounts of static
electricity can damage or destroy these
devices. Damaged components, even though
they appear to function properly, exhibit early
failure.

Beam blockage
A beam of microwave energy passes from

a sender to a separate receiver in bursts
approximately 200 times per second. If the
path between the sender and receiver is
blocked by any object or material which absorbs or reflects microwave energy, then the
receiver will not be able to detect the signal.
The presence or absence of the signal at
the receiver is used to switch a relay for
indication or control purposes.
Microwaves are small (Micro) radio waves
transmitted from point to point hence the
system setup of sender and receiver units.
Note:
For wet, dusty environments where
build up issues of wet high dielectric material is prevalent Microwave
technology will have performance
problems. Hawk recommends the
Gladiator Acoustic Switch for these
applications.

MOUNTING
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. The microwave beam is a polarized form
of energy. As such, it is necessary to align
the units in the same spatial plane. If the
units do not have the same orientation, the
amount of received energy is diminished. At
90 to each other, the detector is blind and
cannot detect the beam. The actual angle
of mounting is not relevant, so long as both
the Sender & Receiver have the same angle
and elevation. Flanges are marked with an
alignment notch cut into one edge of the
flange to assist in mounting correctly.
4. For high vibration applications, it is

necessary to isolate the electronics to keep
them from long term damage. This is most
often accomplished using 4 UHMW or
Teflon windowed weldments in the vessel
walls, and mounting the Microwave Sender
and Receiver to a separate stable structure
(I-beam, handrail) to isolate them from vibration. Isolation shock mounts can also be
provided to help protect the electronics.
5. For high temperature applications which
exceed 65C/150F (precipitators, cement
cyclones, etc.), it is necessary to ensure
that the sensors always remain below
65C/150F. This is normally achieved by
installation of temperature resistant windows of ceramic or firebrick, and positioning
of the Sender and Receiver in line with the
windows, and set back far enough that their
temperature remains below the given limit.
Where this is impossible, it will be necessary to use remote mounting microwaves
with waveguide assemblies. This allows
the electronics to be placed in an area
where ambient temperatures do not exceed
the maximum allowable for operation. It is
necessary to contact the factory for this last
type of waveguide application.
2. When looking for a mounting location it

is important to locate and mount the interior
of the window/sensor face for each unit
flush with the vessel wall and where minimal
build-up will occur. The system can penetrate through generous amounts of buildup
of various products, however, the better the
position, the more reliably it will operate. A
cavity in the vessel mount position where
build up is possible will result in a plug
forming in front of the beam path resulting in
unit performance issues.
3. Microwave energy cannot penetrate
through steel linings or other conductive
linings. You must cut a viewing hole and use
an appropriate windowed weldment.

Manual
Rev 1.71, Sept 2013
MOUNTING
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
1. When mounting to monitor the level
of a flowing product such as coal, ore or
wood chips, position the microwave path
out of the direct product flow stream. If at all
possible, go behind the flow stream or well
in front of it. This will minimise any possibility of unwanted trips due to abnormal
product flow blocking the beam. Always use
the recommended setup for blocked chute
detection.
protect the electronics from damage. Each

side wall of the vessel must not exceed 30
degrees from the vertical centerline. To
mount the adjustable bracket, simply cut a
hole and weld the 4 weldment directly to
the vessel, install the window, mount the
microwave and adjust horizontally.
Similar performance can be obtained by
fabrication of fixed brackets which mount
the Sender and Receiver in direct line with
one another and aimed through the centre
of two MA-4 windowed weldments.
2. When using the system as a proximity

switch such as truck detection the mounting arrangement is application dependent
and must ensure proper operation even
under worst case conditions.
6. For boom protection / anti collision

mounting the MA15 flange pipe should be
used to assist in the reduction of beam
spread over long distances. The units
should be mounted with a 2 meter exclusion
zone in mind for the beam path between
the sender and receiver. Do not use Integral
units for boom protection.
4. Mounting of a Microwave system on

sloped vessel walls can be accomplished
using the Microwave Adjustable Mount (MA12 or MA-13). This system allows the microwaves to be mounted to a sloped surface
and then adjusted horizontally for optimum
performance and operation. The adjustable
mount has an integral 4 weldment with
UHMW polyethylene or PTFE (Teflon) window options. An option with the bracket is a
vibration isolation kit (shock mounts) to help

TEST TERMINAL FUNCTION SELECTION
The test terminal has two potential modes of operation for Smart Integral units and always
operates in the test input mode for Remote units. Remote units have a separate, failsafe
relay contact, which is always functional.
TEST INPUT MODE
(Test switch must be in TEST (ON) position on Smart Integral Units - function always enabled on Remote Units)
Test terminal acts as an input for remote testing of the instruments switching function. Used
to check for malfunction of unit from a remote position, PLC, SCADA etc. For more information see page 29.

The pulse rate may be changed to minimize

the potential for cross-talk if multiple units are
in the same operational area. If cross-talk is
likely to occur, it is strongly recommended
to use Remote type units and employ the
cross-talk prevention schemes for 2 units or
the multi sequence connection for more than
2 units using a separate GMSEQ sequencing
unit. Cross-talk prevention and sequencing for
Remote units are detailed on pages 20 & 21.

SETUP PROCEDURE
SMART INTEGRAL VERSION
1. Mount the units in their actual position
6.2 The sensitivity potentiometer

Turning the pot fully counter-clockwise factory recommended for blocked chute applications. If operating
in HI mode set the pot to 12 oclock. In this mode you
can turning the pot clockwise to reduce the amount of
beam blockage required for switching and vice versa.
1.1 If units are AC powered ensure proper grounding is

connnected to ground screw.
2. Make sure that the material or target is not blocking
the path between sender and receiver.
7. Select the time delay

Full anti clockwise is minimum (0.1 seconds). Full
clockwise is maximum (20 seconds). Adjust as
required allowing time to avoid possible nuisance trips.
The selected delay will be used for both an ON delay
and an OFF delay.
3. Turn the power on

The green LED on the sender and receiver will stay
on permanently to indicate that power is on. Green
LED on receiver varies in brightness with strength of
received signal.
4. Sender (GMRS): Ensure the REM/INT DIP switch

is selected to the INT position and the remaining
switches (1, 2, 3) are all selected to OFF.
8. Perform a CAL mount

Do not proceed with this step unless the material or
target position is well beneth the line between the
sender and receiver.
5. Select the required relay action

The Relay can switch ON (FSL) or OFF (FSH) as
the microwave beam is blocked. Set the relay action
selection switch position depending on your requirements. FSH is recommended (ordinarily on/energised,
switches off/DEN during blocked conditions).
Switch the Mounting Calibration switch on the Receiver

unit to CAL (ON) position. The Blue LED will blink to
indicate that mounting calibration is now in progress.
Wait 5-10 sec, then switch the mounting calibration
switch to OFF position. The blue LED will switch off
after successfull calibration. If it stays on this indicates
there was a calibration error. If this is the case please
check that the path between sender and receiver is
clear and alignment is correct then try the calibration
again. If mounting calibration was successful the blue
LED should be off and the Green LED should be ON.
6. Select the sensitivity

There are two adjustments controlling the sensitivity of
the switch point:
6.1 The HI/LO sensitivity DIP switch is used as
the primary sensitivity setting. Select LO sensitivity
for Blocked Chute detection. Select LO If build-up
is expected over sensors or with strongly absorptive
materials or targets. Select HI sensitivity for clean
environments and lighter/less absorptive material or
targets. LO recommended for most applications.
9. Switch check
If required block the Sender with a steel plate to check
relay action & time delay. The green LED will dim when
the Microwave beam begins to be blocked.
Recommended Settings for

Blocked Chute applications
You can also press the TEST button on the Sender to

simulate a blocked chute condition and thus trigger the
relay action.
Note: Integral type Microwave systems should not

be used for anti collision detection / boom protection.
Contact Hawk for information about the remote type
systems.

The unit will then go into operational mode displaying Switch with a % value. This % value represents the changing amount of signal loss between
sender and receiver.
5. Simple 1-minute Setup - Follow the flow
chart
Choose Application Type

Alignment - For Aligning the unit at long range. Unit is set to 1.2V signal (~48% switch
value), move the unit face to get the volt reading high (2.4V will be the maximum
reading or 0% switch value). Calibrate & re-select this mode and repeat till you cannot
improve the alignment.
Blocked Chute - Configures the unit for blocked chute applications
Boom Protection - Configures the unit for anti collision applications
Switch - Allows selection of Sensitivity% for standard switch application.
Density - Special Density measurement mode. See App Types for further information
Cancel Influence of Mounting
Do not proceed with this step unless the material or target position is well beneth
the line between the sender and receiver.
Select Yes to start the mounting calibration. Wait will be displayed during the
calibration for up to 30 seconds. Unit is now able to cancel the influence of the
mounting. The % reading on the back lit display has been zeroed with the existing
process conditions and the measurement history log has been cleared.
Always calibrate the unit after changing Application type.
Select the Switch point
The output relay will switch at the entered % value. The default value of 76% will be
suitable for detecting most media. For detection of products which are less absorbent of
Microwave energy, select a lower % value and vice versa. For highly absorbent materials, almost any setting will work, but higher % settings will be more immune to build up.
When the level or target falls below the sensors the relay will switch back at half of the
entered switch point % value (when the beam is no longer broken).
Select the Time Delay
Set the time to be used for both switch on and switch off delays
Select the required relay action
The Relay can switch ON or OFF as the microwave beam is blocked and switch
ON or OFF in response to an instrument failure (see below). Set the parameter
to FailSafe Low or FailSafe Hi depending on your requirements.

Density (see Density Setup Guide

below)
Density is the new App Type which allows

customers to measure variation in the amount
of Microwave energy blocked and absorbed
by in application. The variance is represented
by a 4-20mA analog output. Note: Relay1 as
a switch function is disabled while the Density
application is selected.
HiSpan%
This is the 20mA reference point. This
can be Viewed, Autoset or set to a
Custom value. This value will always be
a 10-100% with 10% the most sensitive
100% suited to measure the indicate the
widest variation
Switch
Sets the unit to a standard switch mode with

adjustable sensitivity
Sensitivity%
A high value will make the unit more
sensitive to switching and responding to
lighter materials. A low value will make
the unit more resilliant and ignore dust
/ build up.
Boom Protection
Sets the unit to Boom Protection mode. This

can also be used for machinery or object
detection
Blocked Chute
Sets the unit for blocked chute mode. Note

that this mode may be unsuitable for very low
dieletric materials.
Alignment
A special mode for aligning units over long

range. After performing a Cal Mount and
running the unit it will indicate half signal /
approximately 50%. Improving the alignment
will reduce the %. Re-calibrate if the %
reaches 0. After using this mode you must
select a normal app type.
Density Setup Guide

1. Select Density App Type
2. Perform a CAL MOUNT
3. Press RUN several times to restart the
unit
This will be the 4mA reference point for the
analogue
Note: You must RUN the unit before proceeding with the next step
5. Start the process you wish to measure.

When the desired density of product is between the sender & receiver you can enter
the Quickset menu and run Autoset. This
sets the condition to 20mA / 100%.
If Autoset returns Failed you either did not
press RUN after the CAL MOUNT to set the
4mA point or the Microwave pulses are not
blocked by a high enough density which the
unit can measure.
To set the 20mA reference point you can

RELAY 2 ACTIONS
Concept
Setup Example - Time Based
The Gladiator Amplifier has received a

firmware update to utilise the Relay 2 as
a trigger mechanism to notify the user or
activate a cleaning system based on time
or conditions within the application which
require cleaning.
In Quickset Set On Delay to 4.0 seconds this will provide a 2.0 second water blast.
In Advanced set Relay2Action to TimeOptCln with a Clean Timer of 30min.
Every 30 minutes the sensors will be
sprayed for 2 seconds.
There are three software options using

two diffferent concepts. The first concept is
based on total Gain used and the second is
based on a Time interval.
Setup Example - Gain Based

In Quickset Set On Delay to 4.0 seconds this will provide a 2.0 second water blast.
The options are located in the Advanced

menu as a sub menu for Relay2Action.
In Advanced set Relay2Action to GainOptCln with a CleanGainHi of 80%, CleanGainLo of 70% and Clean Timer to 5.0min
The selectable software options are as

follows:
[Maintnce Chk] - The unit will switch on the
relay when total Gain is greater than the
CleanGainHigh % - the relay will switch off
when Gain falls below CleanGainLow %.
This will trigger the water spray for 2

seconds when Gain goes above 80%. The
spray will repeat every 5 minutes until Gain
goes below 70%. You can view Gain while
the unit is running by using the arrow key to
locate the diagnostic display
[GainOpt Clng] - When total Gain exceeds

the CleanGainHigh point the unit activates
the relay for 1/2 of the On Delay time and
then switches off. The unit will then count
the Clean Time interval time before repeat
the process until total Gain is below CleanGainLow point.
[TimeOpt Clng] - At every Clean Time interval the unit will switch on the relay for 1/2 of
the On Delay time and then switch off.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Error 01: Amplifier/Transmitter can not
communicate with sender/receiver.
Error 02: Communication data corruption

between Transmitter and Transducer.
Error No 01 is displayed on power up with

a reset loop or after unit has successfully
operated and subsequently failed.
It can be a result of noise in data lines or

one of data lines (white or blue wires) being
open circuit.
Check wiring terminals for a loose or

incorrect connection (including junction
box/cable extensions). Check the cables for
any signs of damage. Ensure any customer
supplied cable meets Hawk specifications.
1. Make sure wiring is correct especially

look to the screen (earth).
Error 03: Incorrect comms module selected
(eg Profitbus, FF)
Ensure correct power is applied to the

correct terminals. DC only version units will
not support AC.
Error 04: Amplifier is programmed with

incorrect software. Contact your local
support.
Use a multimeter to check voltage supply for

the Remote Sender & Receiver on the red/
black labeled terminals of the Amplifier. You
should get approximately as below:
Relays & LCD intermittently dimming

and dropping out.
Sender
Check incoming voltage with a multimeter. If

unstable and dropping below 8V the unit is
not getting enough power.
+/- 24.0V
Receiver:
+/- 9.4V
If AC powered put a multimeter over the

DC +/- terminals. The unit generates a DC
voltage in these terminals if powered by AC.
This should read at least 8V consistently. If
this is unstable and dropping below 7V while
your incoming AC is stable there is likely
a problem with the internal power supply.
Contact your local distributor or Hawk.
Ensure the Sender is set to the correct

mode (integral or remote). This is set by the
INT / REM switch on the Sender facia.
Note:
For wet, dusty environments where
build up issues of wet high dielectric material is prevalent Microwave
technology will have performance
problems. Hawk recommends the
Gladiator Acoustic Switch for these
applications.
