The EchoSonic® is a general-purpose ultrasonic level transmitter that provides a loop powered 4-20 mA output. The 4-20 mA output can be used to provide the proportional level of liquid in any tank or vessel. The signal can be connected to any device that accepts loop powered 4-20 mA signals, such as a PLC, SCADA, DCS, display, controller, etc.
The EchoSonic is a general-purpose ultrasonic level transmitter that provides a loop-powered 4-20 mA output for measuring liquid levels in tanks or vessels. It features simple configuration via WebCal software and includes adjustable fail-safe settings, hold last functionality, and the ability to reverse the mA output direction.
Configuration is performed using the free WebCal PC software connected via a USB Fob interface. The manual details four steps: sensor configuration, tank shape selection, tank level configuration, and writing settings to the unit. It also provides wiring diagrams for PLCs and displays, installation guides for various fittings, and troubleshooting tips.
