           Sonix-1000 ultrasonic level sensor with transducer #7508
NEW GENERATION:
The Sonix series is a new generation of level controller. It has features not available anywhere, incorporating entirely different and original philosophy that we believe will set a standard for the future.
  • Is truly user-friendly, actually helps and guides the operator with the entering of tank dimensions (height, diameter) during startup.
  • Can be upgraded at any time after the sale to incorporate new features when they become available as a result of our ongoing development in ultrasonic monitoring.
  • Incorporates all meaningful innovative features and processing currently available as well as any updates to time of purchase.

THE ULTRASONIC PRINCIPLE:
The Sonix monitors level (or volume) of liquids, solids and slurries without ever contacting the monitored surface. This is a truly non-contact method of monitoring. The transducer (also known as 'sensor') is mounted on top of tank above the highest level and is connected to the controller via a coaxial cable. The controller transmits an ultrasonic signal through the transducer, directed toward the monitored surface. The echo, reflected from the monitored surface, is received by the transducer and passed to the controller. Following a sophisticated processing, the time to receive the echo is then converted to level, volume or distance, as required.
OPERATION:
Large, alphanumeric LCD display automatically shows level of each tank in inches, feet or meters and displays volume in US gallons or liters, as selected by the user. The results are announced in clear English (no codes are needed). The volume display includes also horizontal tanks, no strapping tables, no programming is required.

All measurements, including alarm set points and current output, are checked and updated several times per second.

The controller performs self-diagnostics during regular operation to maintain the most reliable performance.

The controller continuously monitors all tanks at the same time by automatically alternating the transmission and the processing between the transducers. If two or more tanks are monitored, the display will automatically alternate in about 3 second intervals between each tank. However, each of the  tanks will be monitored several times per second. For easy orientation, the display will show TANK 1, TANK 2, TANK 3, etc. title with any displayed data. Each tank can have its own dedicated current output flowing continuously and its own set point relay outputs. The outputs (4-20 mA current, alarm relays), however, appear as if each were coming from an individual unit.

TRANSDUCERS:
All of our transducers are heavy duty, industrial grade, hermetically sealed piezoceramic sandwich construction and built for long time, trouble free service. They are not affected by moisture, condensation, fumes, dust or material buildup.

A variety of transducer non-corrosive housings is available to suit virtually any industrial application. Housings are PVC, Teflon®, 316 stainless steel, Kynar®. Also Explosion-Proof in 316 stainless steel housing.
