Echotel ® Model 961/962 Ultrasonic Level Switches D E S C R I P T I O N Increasing demands for compliance with safety systems and overfill protection has mandated more reliable point level measurement. Echotel® Models 961 & 962 Ultrasonic Level Switches meet these demands with advanced transducer designs, extensive hazardous location approvals, and a new self-test technology. Model 961 offers the ultimate solution to reliable single point liquid level measurement. This advanced switch uses pulsed signal technology for superior performance in difficult process conditions, and to provide excellent immunity from sources of electrical noise interference. Extensive self-testing of the electronics and transducer make this advanced switch suitable for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 loops. Model 961 Model 962 is a dual point switch that can be used as a level controller, or to control pumps in an auto fill or auto empty mode. The tip sensitive lower gap performs well in aerated or foamy liquids, and can measure to within 1⁄4" of the vessel bottom. The rigidity of the unique flow-through upper gap allows separations of up to 128" (325 cm) between the upper and lower transducer gaps.

Ultrasonic contact level technology uses highfrequency sound waves that are easily transmitted across a transducer gap in the presence of a liquid media, but are attenuated when the gap is dry. Model 961/962 switches use an ultrasonic frequency of 2 MHz to perform this liquid level measurement in a wide variety of process media and application conditions. Ultrasonic transducer The transducer uses a pair of piezoelectric crystals that are encapsulated in epoxy at the tip of the transducer. The crystals are made of a ceramic material that vibrates at a given frequency when subjected to an applied voltage. The transmit crystal converts the applied voltage from the electronics into an ultrasonic signal. When liquid is present in the gap, the receive crystal senses the ultrasonic signal from the transmit crystal and converts it back to an electrical signal. This signal is sent to the electronics to indicate the presence of liquid in the transducer gap. When there is no liquid present, the ultrasonic signal is attenuated and is not detected by the receive crystal. PULSED SIGNAL INTEGRITY 2 Ultrasonic signal transmission across transducer gap gap is dry. This technology also provides excellent immunity from electromagnetic noise interference. Pulsed signal technology makes the 961/962 units more reliable than older continuous wave ultrasonic switches. Unlike many tuning forks, pulsed signal ultrasonic switches do not need to be configured for different media densities, making these units the most universally applied level switches on the market today. LEVEL Critical process control applications demand reliable instruments that provide high levels of safety. The introduction of standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511 and ISA 84, have generated interest in using Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) as a means to define the reliability of instruments in a control loop. All SIL SFF PFDavg Receive crystal TECHNOLOGY Challenging process conditions such as aeration, suspended solids, and high viscosities are easily handled with the pulsed signal technology utilized in the 961/962 switches. Pulsed signal circuitry drives the transmit piezoelectric crystal to produce powerful pulses of high-frequency ultrasonic energy. These ultrasonic pulses are readily transmitted through liquids, but are attenuated when the transducer SAFETY Transmit crystal 961 Relay 2 as 1oo1 92.0% 1.77E-04 (SIL) versions of the Model 961/962 switches undergo a detailed performance evaluation called a Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA). Three key components of the FMEDA are the Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) and the average Probability of Failure on Demand (PFDavg). 961 Current Shift 2 as 1oo1 91.4% 1.61E-04 962 Relay 2 as 1oo1 91.5% 2.31E-04 962 Current Shift 2 as 1oo1 91.8% 1.87E-04 ADVANCED SELF-TEST AND Ultrasonic switches are often used as the last means of detecting whether a cer Transdu ls ta process vessel will overflow and cause a s & cry s ic spill of potentially hazardous liquids, or Electron e empty out and possibly cavitate the Nois pumps. In these critical applications it is desirable to have a method of periodically testing the ultrasonic switch to ensure that it is functioning properly. Model 961/962 switches feature an advanced self-test technology that not only tests the electronics, transducer, and piezoelectric crystals, but also tests for the presence of industrial sources of environmental noise. Should the switch detect any problems a malfunction output is generated to alarm the user, and a red LED is lit to indicate an alarm condition. DIAGNOSTICS Taking diagnostics one step further is the unique noise self-test mode feature that is standard in all 961/962 switches. This tests for electromagnetic and acoustical noise that can influence many instrumentation technologies. If high levels of environmental noise are detected, the electronics reports a fault condition to alert the user of potential instrumentation reliability concerns. A microprocessor in the 961/962 electronics continuously monitors all self-test data. Should a fault occur, the microprocessor can determine whether the malfunction is due to the electronics, transducer, piezoelectric crystals, or the presence of environmental noise. A pushbutton and Fault LED is used to assist in troubleshooting the switch: 5 One flash of the Fault LED indicates a problem with the transducer or piezoelectric crystals Self-test is performed automatically and continuously several times per second to verify proper operation of 961/962 switches. In addition, a pushbutton is provided to initiate a manual self-test mode. Pressing this test button stops all transmit pulses, which simulates an electronics failure. This failure is reported as: 55 Two flashes of the Fault LED indicates a problem with one of the electronics boards 555 Three flashes of the Fault LED indicates excessive levels of environmental noise • 3.6 or 22 mA (selectable) with current shift output units • SPDT malfunction relay de-energizes with relay output units ADJUSTABLE TIME DELAY Turbulence and splashing can cause some fixed time response switches to produce false level alarms. Model 961/962 switches overcome this difficulty with an adjustable time delay feature. RELIABLE TRANSDUCER Dependable point level measurement begins with reliable sensor design. Over 30 years of ultrasonic level switch technology experience is behind the Model 961/962 single and dual gap transducers. The result is an extremely robust transducer design that offers superior performance in difficult process conditions. A potentiometer allows a 1⁄2 to 45 second delay to be set to disregard waves or splashes, and reliably detect the true liquid level. DESIGN Model 961 single point has a tip-sensitive transducer with an arch-shaped gap for superior performance in aerated or foamy liquids. Dual point Model 962 features a tip sensitive lower gap and flow through upper gap. This robust design allows separations of 125 inches (318 cm) between the upper and lower transducer gaps. 3 APPLICATIONS T Y P I C A L High Alarm Model 961 single point switches may be used for high or low level alarm, as well as for pump protection. The Model 962 dual point unit is typically configured to measure high/low, high/high, or low/low levels. Fill Line Dual Point Alarm The single point 961 can be mounted vertically or horizontally in vessels, bridles, or pipes. The dual gap 962 is always top mounted. A broad selection of transducer materials allow the 961/962 to be used in a wide variety of process media. Metallic transducers include 316 SS, Hastelloy® C, and Monel®. The 316 SS transducer has a NACE construction option for sour gas service, and can also be built per ASME B31.1 and B31.3 piping codes. Thermoplastic transducers include Kynar® and CPVC. These corrosion resistant plastic transducers feature a stiffening tube that runs the length of the transducer for extra rigidity. Kynar-faced 316 SS flange options are offered with the Kynar transducers. P U M P Pump Protection Low Alarm C O N T R O L A DIP switch on the Model 962 allows it to be configured to control level, or to function as a pump controller. In the pump control mode the unit can perform auto fill or auto empty of tanks, sumps, or wet wells. The tip sensitive lower gap allows liquid levels to be pumped down to within 1⁄4" from the bottom of the vessel. The rigidity of the flow through upper gap allows the 962 to be used even when sumps experience severe turbulence from vessel fill lines. H Y G I E N I C Spray Ball The hygienic version of the Model 961 features a deep drawn stainless steel electronics housing. Tri-Clamp® and DN65 Varivent hygienic process connections are offered for use in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology applications. These hygienic transducers have 3-A (Authorization #596), EHEDG certification (per TNO Report # V4772/01) and a 20 R a finish to provide a uniform and ultra-smooth surface that inhibits microbial growth. Electron beam welding technology is utilized to facilitate a crevice-free surface inside the transducer tip. This allows these transducers to be used in a wide variety of hygienic applications where CIP (Clean-in-Place) is used to remove any contamination from the transducer surface. 4 E L E C T R O N I C S M O D E L 9 6 1 / 9 6 2 Supply Voltage Relay Outputs W I T H Fail-safe Power Consumption Ambient Temperature 961/962: 9 6 1 / 9 6 2 Supply Voltage Current Shift Output W I T H 961: 962: 961/962: Loop Resistance Fail-safe Power Consumption Ambient Temperature 961/962 T R A N S D U C E R M O D E L 9 A 1 / 9 M 1 Transducer Material R E L A Y O U T P U T 18 to 32 VDC, or 102 to 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz One DPDT level relay and one SPDT malfunction relay Two SPDT level relays and one SPDT malfunction relay 5 amps @ 120 VAC, 250 VAC, and 30 VDC, 0.4 amp @ 110 VDC 5 amps @ 120 VAC, 250 VAC, and 30 VDC, 0.15 amp @ 125 VDC Selectable for high or low level Less than 3 watts -40° to +160° F (-40° to +70° C) 961: 962: DPDT: SPDT: Relay Ratings M O D E L S P E C I F I C A T I O N S C U R R E N T S H I F T O U T P U T 11 to 35 VDC 8 mA normal operation, 16 mA level alarm (±1 mA) 8 mA normal operation, 12 mA lower gap alarm, 16 mA upper gap alarm (±1 mA) 3.6 mA or 22 mA selectable fault signal (±1 mA) 104 ohms with 11 VDC input, 1100 ohms with 35 VDC input Selectable for high or low level Less than 1 watt -40° to +160° F (-40° to +70° C) S P E C I F I C A T I O N S S I N G L E Material Code (page 10) P O I N T Operating Temperature Range Maximum Pressure Actuation Length 316 Stainless Steel A*, S, N, K -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 2000 psi (138 bar) 1" and 2" (3 and 5 cm) 316 Stainless Steel A*, S, N, K -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 1500 psi (103 bar) 3" to 130" (6 to 330 cm) Hastelloy C-276 B -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 2000 psi (138 bar) 1" and 2" (3 and 5 cm) Hastelloy C-276 B -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 1500 psi (103 bar) 3" to 130" (6 to 330 cm) Monel C -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 1200 psi (83 bar) 1" to 130" (3 to 330 cm) Kynar R -40° to +250° F (-40° to +121° C) see graph below 2" to 130" (5 to 330 cm) CPVC P -40° to +180° F (-40° to +82° C) see graph below 1" to 130" (3 to 330 cm) * Material Code “A” has a Cryogenic Trandsucer Option for -110° to +250° F (-80° to +120° C) operating temperature range M O D E L 9 A 2 / 9 M 2 Transducer Material D U A L Material Code (see page 10) P O I N T Operating Temperature Range Maximum Pressure Actuation Length 316 Stainless Steel A, K -40° to +325° F (-40° to +163° C) 1500 psi (103 bar) 5" to 130" (13 to 330 cm) CPVC P -40° to +180° F (-40° to +82° C) see graph below 5" to 130" (13 to 330 cm) Range with PN16 flange 300 30 25 250 25 200 150 100 15 10 5 50 0 -40 20 0 60 120 180 240 Temperature (°F) 0 -40 Pressure (bar) Range with 150# flange 30 250 Pressure (psi) " NPT CPVC Transducer Ratings 300 Pressure (bar) Range with Pressure (psi) Kynar Transducer Ratings 200 150 100 50 0 40 80 120 Temperature (°C) 0 -40 20 15 10 5 0 40 80 120 160 200 Temperature (°F) 0 -40 0 40 80 120 Temperature (°C) 5 P E R F O R M A N C E Repeatability Response Time Time Delay Self-Test Automatic: Manual: Shock Class Vibration Class Humidity Electromagnetic Compatibility P H Y S I C A L S P E C I F I C A T I O N S ±0.078" (2 mm) 1 ⁄2 second typical Variable 0.5 – 45 seconds on rising and falling levels Continuously verifies operation of electronics, transducer, piezoelectric crystals, and electrical noise Push button verifies operation of electronics, transducer, and piezoelectric crystals ANSI/ISA-S71.03 Class SA1 ANSI/ISA-S71.03 Class VC2 0 – 99%, non-condensing Meets CE requirements EN 61326 S P E C I F I C A T I O N S Housing Material Cast aluminum A356-T6, cast 316 stainless steel, or deep drawn 304 stainless steel (hygienic housing) Dual 3⁄4" NPT, or M20 connections (one end is plugged) Cable Entry Gross Weight 961/962 Electronics: 2" (5 cm) Transducer: D I M E N S I O N A L I N C H E S 2.2 lbs.
