Echomax XPS

Echomax® XPS transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in a wide range of liquids and solids.

The transducers can be fully immersed, are resistant to steam and corrosive chemicals, and can be installed without flanges.

The XPS series offers versions for various measuring ranges up to 30 m (100 ft) and up to a max. temperature of 95 °C (203 °F).

During operation, the EchoMax transducers emit acoustic pulses in a narrow beam. The level monitor measures the propagation time between pulse emission and its reflection (echo) to calculate the distance.

Don’t forget that the safest engineered level measurement solution includes switches for back-up, overfill, low level and dry run protection.

Detail

  Max. range XPS-10: 10 m (33 ft) XPS-15: 15 m (50 ft) XPS-30: 30 m (98 ft)
 Min. range XPS-10 / XPS-15: 0.3 m (1 ft) 
 XPS-30:                0.6 m (2 ft)
 Max. temp. XPS-series: 95 °C (203 °F)
 Frequency XPS-10 / XPS-15: 44 kHz 
 XPS-30:                30 kHz

Benefits

  • Integral temperature compensation
  • Low ringing effect reduces blanking distance
  • Optional foam facing for dusty applications
  • Self-cleaning and low maintenance
  • Chemically resistant
  • Hermetically sealed

ST-H Transducer

ST-H transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in chemical storage and liquid tanks.

The narrow design of the ST-H allows the transducer to be mounted on a 2″ (50.8 mm) standpipe. When mounted correctly, it is completely protected from the process and can even be used in harsh, corrosive environments.

During operation, the ultrasonic transducer emits acoustic pulses in a narrow beam perpendicular to the transducer face. The level transceiver measures the propagation time between pulse emission and reception of the echo to calculate the distance from the transducer to the material. Variations in sound velocity due to changes in temperature within the permissible range are automatically compensated by the integral temperature sensor.

Key Applications: chemical storage, liquid tanks

Echomax XRS-5

Echomax® XRS-5 ultrasonic transducer provides reliable, continuous level monitoring of liquids and slurries in narrow lift stations/ wet wells, flumes, weirs and filter beds using a beam angle of just 10° and a CSM rubber face.

The XRS-5 is non-contacting with a measuring range from 0.3 to 8 m (1 to 26 ft). Advanced echo processing ensures reliable data even in conditions with obstructions, turbulence and foam.

The hermetically sealed CSM rubber face and the PVDF copolymer enclosure are designed for maximum resistance to methane, salt water, caustics and harsh chemicals common to wastewater installations. With an IP68 degree of protection, this rugged sensor is fully submersible in the event of flood conditions. Use a submergence shield if full submergence is possible in the application. A submergence shield will maintain a high level reading output during submerged conditions.

The low-cost XRS-5 transducer is compatible with a full range of Siemens controllers, from a basic system for high/low alarm or simple pump control, up to advanced control systems with communications, telemetry and SCADA integration capabilities.

A filter discriminates between the true echo and false echoes from acoustic or electrical noises and agitator blades in motion. The ultrasonic pulse propagation time to the material and back is temperature-compensated and converted into distance for display, analog output.

Key Applications: chemical storage vessels, filter beds, mud pits, liquid storage vessels, food applications

Supplementary Components are designed to work with most types of instrumentation to provide enhanced functionality such as remote displays and remote monitoring solutions.
