Ultrasonic Transducers

Ultrasonic Sensors (Transducers):

The sensors (transducers) are sealed air and water tight and are not affected by condensation, humidity, fumes, splashing liquid or hose down. All are intrinsically safe. We also offer an explosion-proof transducer #4012BS/CSA, approved for all Class I environments.
A broad variety of transducers, used with our ultrasonic controllers, offers the best selection to suit any typical industrial application. The transducers are mounted above the highest monitored level, allowing a non-contact measurement. They are connected to the controller using a standard RG62/U coaxial cable, require no external power and, depending on model, may be remotely installed up to 800 feet from the control electronics. Supplied with 25 ft. of cable, additional cable lengths may be ordered installed to avoid field splicing.

The transducers are heavy duty, hermetically sealed and available in PVC, TeflonŽ, 316 stainless steel, CPVC, or KynarŽ housing. The ultrasonic signal travels perpendicular from the transducer radiating face as a narrow, cone shaped beam. When the monitored object is within this cone, is more-less perpendicular to the signal and within the transducer operating range, it will reflect the echo back and be recognized. Since the transducer face vibrates rapidly during transmission, it is naturally self cleaning and therefore, build-up of material on the transducer face is not expected.

Selection Suggestion:
Select transducers by its range (for tanks less than 15 feet high, or more than 15 feet high) and the transducer material for best corrosion resistance.

3-A Sanitary Transducers: Available in PVC, Teflon, Kynar and 316 stainless steel.

Suggested Transducer Mounting:


Flange Mounts: We can supply transducers with optional PVC flange mounted. The flanges are ANSI standard, 150 lbs.
      FA: Flange- bottom mount       FB:   Flange- top mount

(Note: Blind zone is the shortest distance to recognize the monitored surface. The transducer has to be installed at least this distance above the highest liquid level)

Note that all transducers have a mounting nipple with a 3/4" NPT thread (model 2310 has 1" NPT) for convenient mounting into any coupling or cavity thread of the same size.
