■ Overview
■ Configuration
Parabolic mounting
4
The Probe is a short-range integrated ultrasonic level transmitter,
ideal for liquids and slurries in open or closed vessels.
■ Benefits
•
•
•
•
•
Easy to install, program, and maintain
Accurate and reliable
Sanitary models available
Sonic Intelligence echo processing
Integral temperature compensation
Flat mounting and beam angle
Fill
■ Application
The transducer is available in PVDF copolymer, making the
device suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. The
Probe is easy to install and maintain, and can be quickly
removed for cleaning as required by the food, beverage and
pharmaceutical industries.
The reliability of the level data is based on the Sonic Intelligence
echo processing algorithms. A filter discriminates between the
true echo and false echoes from acoustic or electrical noises
and agitator blades in motion. The ultrasonic pulse propagation
time to the material and back is temperature-compensated and
converted into distance for display, analog output and relay
actuation.
• Key Applications: chemical storage vessels, filter beds, mud
pits, liquid storage vessels, food applications
