Ultrasonic sensors can detect a range of variables
STI Automation Products Group reckons its US20 self-contained ultrasonic sensors are reliable, user adjustable, require little or no maintenance and are easy to install.
US-50 ultrasonic sensors are self-contained and feature a built-in four-digit display that is used for programming, as well as a display of level or volume measurement.
They offer an adjustable 4-20mA analogue output and two solid-state form A relay switches.
A NEMA 4X rating allows this sensor to be mounted in outdoor environments.
The UC/UT controller/sensor combination is used when a remote display is necessary.
The controller has a four-digit LCD display and can be located up to 600m away from the sensor.
The display can be programmed to read the level from the top, or the volume of the product in the tank.
The sensor is powered from the controller, so only one 24V DC or 110/220V AC power supply is needed.
Outputs from the UC controller include a 4-20mA analogue output, and four solid-state form A relay switches.
Both the US-50 and the UT/UC sensors have 42kHz transducers that provide a measuring range up to 10m in plastic pellet and resin applications.
