INTRODUCTION
Application
The
Microflex-D
from
Hycontrol
is a compact, loop-powered ultrasonic level transmitter for continuous measurement of liquids. Despite the unit being
positioned at a budget price-point it does not compromise on quality and provides effortless and intuitive operation. Easy and flexible mounting, combined
with high chemical compatibility and a measuring range of 8 metres (or 12 metres in the case of the
ER
model), makes the
Microflex-D
suitable for multiple
applications in a wide range of industries.
Operation principle
The
Microflex-D
emits an ultrasonic pulse which is reflected from the surface of the liquid being measured. The reflected signal is processed using specially
developed software to enhance the correct signal and reject false echoes. The principle of operation is often referred to as ‘time-of-flight’. The time it takes
the ultrasonic pulse to travel from and back to the transducer is directly proportional to the distance travelled.
An automatic sensitivity control allows the unit to dynamically adjust and improve the received echoes for the best possible measurement outcome.
