Echotel ® Models 960/961 Ultrasonic Level Switches for Hygienic Applications DESCRIPTION Echotel® Model 960/961 Ultrasonic Level Switches use pulsed signal technology for superior performance in difficult process conditions, and to provide excellent immunity from sources of electrical noise interference. Extensive self-testing of the electronics and transducer make this advanced switch suitable for a wide variety of hygienic level switch applications. Model 960 Switches use AS-Interface® (AS-i) bus digital communications for high or low single point liquid level measurement. The AS-i bus system provides a digital serial interface with a single unshielded two-wire cable for power and data transfer. Model 961 is offered with either a 5-amp relay or a current shift electronics. The relay output electronics has a DPDT relay for level detection, and a SPDT malfunction relay. The current shift version indicates 8 mA during normal operation, 16 mA as a level alarm condition and a user-selectable 3.6 or 22 mA malfunction indication. The 960/961 switches are designed for the stringent requirements of hygienic applications. These switches are offered with a deep-drawn 304 stainless steel housing that is favorable to CIP and SIP procedures. A 20 Ra surface finish is featured with hygienic Model 960/961 transducers. These transducers are available with 11⁄2" & 2" Tri-Clamp® fittings, and DN65 Varivent® Type N flanges.

The transducer uses a pair of piezoelectric crystals that vibrate at a given frequency when subjected to an applied voltage. The transmit crystal converts the applied voltage from the electronics into an ultrasonic signal. When liquid is present in the gap, the receive crystal senses the ultrasonic signal and converts it back into an electrical signal. This signal is sent to the electronics to indicate a wet gap condition. When no liquid is present, the ultrasonic signal is attenuated and is not detected by the receive crystal. Challenging process conditions like aeration, suspended solids, and high viscosities are overcome by using pulsed signal circuitry in 960/961 switches. Unlike many tuning forks, pulsed signal ultrasonic switches do not need to be configured for different media densities, making these units the most universally applied level switches on the markey today. Ultrasonic transducer Transmit crystal Receive crystal Ultrasonic signal transmission across transducer gap ADVANCED SELF-TEST AND DIAGNOSTICS Ultrasonic switches are often used as the last means of detecting whether a cer Transdu ls process vessel will overflow and cause a sta & cry ics spill of potentially hazardous liquids, or Electron e empty out and possibly cavitate the Nois pumps. In these critical applications it is desirable to have a method of periodically testing the ultrasonic switch to ensure that it is functioning properly. Model 960/961 switches feature an advanced self-test technology that not only tests the electronics, transducer, and piezoelectric crystals, but also tests for the presence of industrial sources of environmental noise. Should the switch detect any problems a malfunction output is generated to alarm the user, and a red LED is lit to indicate an alarm condition. A microprocessor in the 960/961 electronics continuously monitors all self-test data. Should a fault occur, the microprocessor can determine whether the malfunction is due to the electronics, transducer, piezoelectric crystals, or the presence of environmental noise. A pushbutton and Fault LED is used to assist in troubleshooting the switch: 5 One flash of the Fault LED indicates a problem with the transducer or piezoelectric crystals 55 Two flashes of the Fault LED indicates a problem with one of the electronics boards 555 Three flashes of the Fault LED indicates excessive levels of environmental noise ADJUSTABLE TIME DELAY A potentiometer allows a 1⁄2 – 45-second delay to be set to disregard waves or splashes, and reliably detect the true liquid level. Turbulence and splashing can cause some fixed time response switches to produce false level alarms. Model 960/961 switches overcome this difficulty with an adjustable time delay feature. 2 APPLICATIONS Model 960/961 Switches may be used for high or low level alarm, empty pipe detection and pump protection in a wide variety of hygienic applications.
