FlatPack® Short Deadzone Sensor for Level Monitoring in Pipes & Irrigation Systems

FlatPack® Short Deadzone Sensor for Level Monitoring in Pipes & Irrigation Systems

01 December 2016

Massa Products Corporation: The MassaSonic® FlatPack® 160 kHz sensors is a low profile ultrasonic transmitter module. It is optimized to offer continuous non-contact distance measurement of pastes, fluids, or uneven solid bulk materials in constrained working zones for application ranges from 1″ (25 mm) to 5′ (1.5 m). Featured here is the short range model, a longer range model is available.

Adding customized dual-transducer ultrasonic technology and processing algorithms, all FlatPack® offer precision measurement for factory automation, warehouse materials control, pipe and conveyor belt blockage or tank level applications. These Sensors perform extremely well in uneven surface or turbulent applications.

The FlatPack® 160 kHz sensor is ideal to record in-pipe flow levels of renewable energy systems, wastewater pipes, monitor irrigation areas or solid material in silos. The unique dual transducer design has a 15° system beam angle, so it’s not likely that the maximum range capabilities will be greatly affected by solid materials with non-uniform surfaces, as occurs with single transducer sensors with narrow beam angles.

The FlatPack® Sensors are IP68 rated, RoHS and CE compliant. These field proven designs come in a PVC housing ideal for use in all-weather resistant moderate chemical environments from -40°C to 70°C. An incorporated mounting plate with pre-formed holes is provided for easy installation and are powered by 12 – 24 VDC with an option for 0 – 10 V or 4 – 20ma output.  All models include continuous temperature compensation to guarantee measurement accuracy and precise speed of sound calibration. Other user-friendly features include diagnostic and monitoring outputs, protection from over voltage, short circuits, and reverse polarity.
