The
SONIC is a cost effective,
ultrasonic level transmitter for
measuring and monitoring liquid
levels in open and closed tanks.
Its small size makes it supercompact,
combining sensor and electronics
in one housing. The nose section
is manufactured from Teflon.
This Dupont material is resistant
to most chemicals, and includes
an on-board, temperature sensing
element to ensure correct level
measurement at all temperatures.
The electronics housing is manufactured
from UPVC.
The
SONIC transducer transmits
a series of short, controlled, ultrasonic
pulses towards a surface. The reflected
echoes are intelligently conditioned
to remove any noise, and the time
taken for the echoes to reach the
sensor face are calculated and converted
to distance for transmission as
a current loop output.
Zero
and full tank levels are entered
into the SONIC by touching
the Z and S targets, on the Sonic
body, with the magnetic key provided.
The SONIC does not rest. The
SONIC offers on-board and
visible LED indication to confirm
power is ON and that the unit is
working correctly.
