Page: 7 / 96

III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SonoTracker Series Ultrasonic System can monitor up to a total of 8 transducers of various frequencies,
accommodating multiple vessels of different heights and shapes.
The high scan rates of the SonoTracker Series provide fast information updates on material level. The
SonoTracker Series has an integral keyboard and a display that provide easy access for programming and allows
the user to input their own vessel identifications. The enclosure is designed for rugged, outdoor applications and
is wall-mounted. The SonoTracker Series is available in AC and DC powered versions.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT
The operating principle of ultrasonics is based on the reflection of sound, which is used in many applications to
determine distance. The transducer sends out a sound pulse through the air and then receives an echo a short
time later. The time is carefully measured, allowing the distance to the reflecting object to be determined.
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The SonoTracker Series can be used in three ways:
1. Level
• Monitors level from up to 8 transducers.
• Can display volume or weight converted from level.
2. Flow
• Monitors up to 4 sensors.
• Measures flow using flumes, weirs and nozzles
Note: The SonoTracker Series can monitor level, with a maximum of 8 transducers.
