GENERAL 

SandSET-1000 12 VDC is an alarm device to indicate the accumulation 
of  sludge  or  sand  layer  on  the  bottom  of  a  well  or  tank.  Typical 
applications  are  sand  and  oil  separators  as  well  as  settling  tanks  of 
wastewater treatment plants and other wells or basins. Depending on 
the order, the delivery consists of SandSET-1000 12 VDC control unit, 
SET/S2 sensor, junction box and installation supplies. 

 

Figure 1. Sand separator alarm application 

SET/S2 sensor is installed in the separator or tank and it gives an alarm 
when the sludge reaches the sensor. The sensor is normally immersed 
in water. 

The principle of measurement is ultrasonic. When sludge, sand or other 
solid  particles  accumulate  between  the  two  sensor  heads,  the  signal 
strength weakens, causing an alarm. 

SET/S2 sensor can be installed in a zone 0, 1 or 2 potentially explosive 
atmosphere but the control unit must be mounted in a safe area. 

The LED indicators, push buttons and interfaces of the SandSET-1000 
12 VDC control unit are described in figure 2.
