Description

The LVU-201 model has been discontinued. Please see the LVCN318 Series as a possible alternative or contact our Flow Engineering department.

The two-wire ultrasonic level transmitter is the compact solution for non-contact continuous level measurement in process vessels, storage tanks and open channels. The loop powered device provides accurate level measurement up to 18 feet and is the ideal choice for more challenging coating or scaling type liquids including sodium hydroxide, wastewater, resin, wax, liquor and bleach. An ultrasonic sound wave is pulsed two times per second from the base of the transducer. The sound wave reflects against the process medium below and returns to the transducer. The microprocessor based electronics measure the time of flight between the sound generation and receipt, and translates this figure into the distance between the transmitter and process medium below.
The surface of the level being measured must be free of fumes, vapors, foam and the surface must be flat; the signal may be lost if any of these conditions are present.
