Ultrasonic sensor Sonicont® USN4

Description

The ultrasonic sensor Sonicont USN4 is an electronic level transmitter / level switch for monitoring, control as well as continuous measurement of filling levels in liquids, pastes and coarse bulk materials. Additional application fields are volume or flow measurement.
The software was optimized and extended by a new algorithm. The Sonictrack is a better algorithm for the detection of ultrasonic signals. Thus interference signals e.g. agitators etc. can be recognized even better and thus a safe operation can be ensured.

Advantages

• measuring ranges of 2m / 5m / 8m
• process temperatures from –40°C to +85°C
• process materials PVDF / CrNi-steel / EPDM
• availability of extensive equipment
• functionality predefined vessel types for fast commissioning
• predefined linearization curves for volume and flow measurement
• integrated error signal suppression for adaption the installation situation
• integrated compensation of the process temperature
• limit value function for two-point control
• pump control function
• impulse output function for quantity counter
• error indication function for error monitoring

Application

• for level and volume measurement and flow measurement at open channels
• measuring weirs for water and waste water sector
• process industry
• environmental technology
• storage tanks, storage bunkers, silos

The ultrasonic sensor Sonicont USN4 is suitable for demanding measuring requirements.
Due to its high accuracy and the high flexibility of configuration, the device can be suited a wide variety of applications.
The robust design and the high-quality workmanship turns the device into a very high quality product, which even the most adverse environmental conditions cannot affect, whether low temperatures when used outdoors, high shock and vibration or aggressive media.
A captive laser marking of the type label ensures the identifiability throughout the entire lifetime of the device. Obviously is the optional marking of a measurement point designation resp. TAG, a customer label or of a neutral type label, of course also per laser marking.

A LABS-free resp. silicone-free version, a factory calibration with calibration certificate and a customer specific configuration resp. preset is also optionally available like a material test certificate EN10204 3.1 or factory certifications for drink water resp. food suitability. Customer specific special versions can be realized on request, e.g. software adaption (menu navigation, special functions, etc.), changed terminal assignment resp. connector orientation, design adaption of the user surface, special designs for the process connection.

Function

For measurements in liquids and bulk solids, non-contact level measurement with ultrasound is a proven and cost-effective method. The lack of contact with the medium ensures a long service life and thus a permanently reliable measurement.
