Introduction
The Echomax XCT-8 transducer operates in
association with Siemens Milltronics ultrasonic
level monitoring products.
The transducer converts electrical pulses
provided by the transceiver to ultrasonic pulses
used for measurement and converts the ultrasonic
echoes back into an electrical signal. The signal is
interpreted by the Siemens Milltronics transceiver
using the patented Sonic Intelligence® algorithms
developed by Siemens Milltronics. The ultrasonic
pulse reduces in power by – 3 dB in a 12° cone
from the transducer face. Keep objects out of this
cone path to reduce the chance of false echoes
being recorded.
The XCT
-
8 transducer incorporates an integral
temperature sensor that reports the ambient
temperature to the transceiver. The connection is
transparent because the ultrasonic and
temperature components of the transducer use
the same leads. This ensures that the Siemens
Milltronics transceiver can automatically
compensate and adjust the speed of sound
constant for varying temperatures.
The PTFE face allows it to be used in the food industry in intense clean-in-place
applications.
