UL-1000 Series Continuous Level Sensor:
Models UL-1000, 2000 and 3000
are used to continuously monitor (sense) and indicate level, depth or volume
of liquids, slurries or solids in tanks. The basic difference between models
is the maximum range of measurement (tank height).
The sensing is non-contact; transducer is mounted above the highest
level in tank and thus will not touch the material. The monitor transmits an
ultrasonic signal directed toward the monitored surface and measures the
time to receive the reflected echo. The time is then converted to depth or
level of liquid in tank. This enables an accurate measurement over the
entire range.
The sensors are heavy duty, designed for durability in harsh industrial
environments. Installed properly, they will operate trouble free for a long
time, requiring no maintenance. Breakdowns are minimized by a conservative
design and many years of field-proven test experience. The sensors are
immune to acoustic and electrical noise and turbulence. They are not
affected by radio, radar or microwave transmission. To assure a trouble free
operation, the circuit has several frequency filters, squelch filter, signal
integrator, missing pulse detector, automatic gain control, temperature
compensation, signal averaging and output damping for a steady indication.
Two on-board indicating lights allow checking the operation at glance; the
green light announces every transmitted signal while the red light announces
every valid echo received.
The transducers are industrial grade, hermetically sealed, non-corrosive
in a PVC housing (std.), 316 stainless steel, Teflon® or Kynar®. All are
intrinsically safe with one model in 316 stainless steel housing approved
for Class I, Groups A, B, C & D hazardous environments. The transducer is
connected to the controller via a coaxial cable and can be remotely mounted
up to several hundred feet, depending on model. Please, see the Transducer
page for detailed information.
