When liquid is present in the transducer gap, which the receive crystal converts into an electrical wet gap condition to the electronics. When the gap is filled with air, the receive crystal cannot detect the pulse, and reports a dry gap condition. T 2 R Contact ultrasonic level switches use ceramic discs called piezoelectric crystals to transmit and receive ultrasonic energy. A transmit crystal (T) is positioned on one side of a transducer gap and a receive crystal (R) is positioned on the opposite side. Tipsensitive style gaps—the only style used on Echotel® switches— can sense level to within 1⁄4" from the end of the transducer. 25+ Years of Ultrasonic Measurement Solutions for Industrial Process Application Guidelines brand a world leader in liquid level switches. required, our economical Model 910 with with a tip-sensitive transducer. • For applications where self-test isn’t switch technology has made the ECHOTEL Over 25 years of experience with ultrasonic gap makes them suitable for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 loops.

Worldwide safety approvals, 2-year warranty. Proximity Sensing The Model 910 features a tip-sensitive transducer which measures liquid level to within 0.25" (6 mm) from the end of its transducer. When used as a low level switch, it can measure level further down into a tank or vessel. Omni-Directional Mounting Model 910 may be mounted horizontally or vertically. Mounting options include NPT and BSP threaded, flanges and sanitary connections. Worldwide Safety Approvals With FM, CSA and ATEX approvals on one agency nameplate, this is the perfect switch for OEM applications with global customer destinations.

The tip-sensitive transducers have a pressure rating (up to 2000 psig, 138 bar) higher than any other ultrasonic gap or tuning fork level switch. The dual gap transducer has a unique flow-through upper gap that allows over 100" (254 cm) between upper and lower gaps. Combine these features with powerful pulsed signal technology for superior performance in difficult process conditions and you have the most capable ultrasonic level switch available today. Model 961 Advanced Self-Test Technology New self-test technology not only tests the electronics, transducer, and piezoelectric crystals, but also checks for the presence of electromagnetic noise interference. Should the diagnostic data indicate a problem with the unit, an alarm signal alerts the user to the malfunction. Electronics Transducer Crystals Interference Adjustable Time Delay Liquid Level Applications Turbulence and splashing can cause many switches with fixed time response to produce false level alarms. Model 961/962 switches overcome this nuisance with an adjustable time delay. A potentiometer sets a 1⁄2 to 45 second delay to disregard waves or splashes so the unit reliably detects true liquid level.
