Product description

The UP56 series of ultrasonic level sensors is the ideal solution for demanding applications. The teflon-protected transducer handles overpressure up to 6 bar (87 psi) and is resistant against numerous difficult fluids. Wetted parts can be chosen either as stainless steel or PVDF, thus making the UP56 the perfect solution for measurement in aggressive, viscous, or abrasive liquids, or bulk solids. By combining two output signals in one device, new cost-effective solutions can be created for measurement and integration into the system. With two switching outputs, the UP56 can measure dry running and overflow in one device. Combining analog and a switching output enables continuous level measurement with a separate overflow signal. Parameters are easy to set via an integrated display, PC or the connect+ adapter.

Technology

The ultrasonic sensor cyclically emits short, high-frequency sound pulses. These are radiated at the speed of sound. They are reflected when they meet the surface of the medium and return to the ultrasonic sensor in the form of an echo. The ultrasonic sensor calculates the distance from the time elapsed between emission of the sound pulses and receipt of the echo signals. This is provided to users as both an analog level signal and a switching signal.
