FAQ's of Ultrasonic Level Transmitter:
Q: How does the Ultrasonic Level Transmitter measure levels in tanks and silos?
A: The transmitter emits ultrasonic pulses toward the material surface, calculates the distance based on the reflected echo, and determines the level. This method allows for non-contact, continuous measurement of liquids or powders without the risk of contamination.
Q: What installation options are available for this level transmitter?
A: The transmitter offers flexible installation with threaded/NPT or flange mounting. It accommodates both standard and unconventional tank designs, making setup straightforward in various industrial environments.
Q: When should I consider using a PVDF or an ABS transducer?
A: PVDF transducers are preferred for chemically aggressive or corrosive media due to their superior chemical resistance, whereas ABS is suitable for general applications with less demanding chemical requirements. The choice depends on the substance being measured.
Q: Where can this ultrasonic level transmitter be used?
A: It is ideally deployed in liquid and solid level measurement applications, such as water reservoirs, chemical storage tanks, food processing silos, and other industrial storage vessels. Its IP65 enclosure and wide temperature/humidity tolerance make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Q: What are the output and communication options?
A: The device supports 4-20mA analog output and RS485 (Modbus) digital communication for integration with process control systems. Optional relay outputs are available for direct control or alarm functions.
Q: How do I program and adjust the transmitter settings?
A: All parameters can be easily programmed using the four-button membrane keypad and the LCD backlit display, offering intuitive setup and adjustments for various measurement scenarios.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this ultrasonic level transmitter?
A: Key advantages include non-contact measurement (eliminating wear and contamination), rapid response time (<1 sec), high accuracy (0.25% of F.S.), easy installation, low maintenance, and adaptability to a broad range of liquids and solids in demanding environments.
