How To determine The cause Of a Field Failure Based On The Echo Graph

Exit the echo map: first press and hold the down button to not let go, then press and hold the "SET" 
button for three seconds to exit the echo map.

Enter  the  echo  map:  first  press  and  hold  the  up  button  to  not  let  go,  then  press  and  hold  the  "SET" 
button, hold it for three seconds and the echo map will appear.

The  ultrasonic  level  meter  has  a  function  to  be  able  to  see  the  waveform  of  the  ultrasonic  wave 
reflected back from the scene. The shape of the echo can roughly determine the cause of the failure at 
the scene. Let me explain to you.

When the probe is connected to a metal bracket or flange, because the probe is constantly vibrating, 
this vibration can be transmitted to the metal flange, and then reflected back by the metal flange, and 
stacked on the probe to form a strong Reflected signal. It will appear that the water level of the pool is 

1.Resonance

Figure 1 Echo signal formed by resonance

Figure 2 Resolved echo signal

In the echo graph, the closer to the left, the closer to the probe's echo, and the closer to the right, the 
farther away from the probe.
The left picture is the ultrasonic echo picture taken at the scene, and the right picture is a comparison 
picture. In the right picture, the part I framed is caused by the resonance between the probe and the 
metal bracket. The wave formed by resonance has been freezed. Although the reflected wave is very 
clear, the intensity and width cannot be compared with the wave formed by resonance. Therefore, the 
ultrasonic level gauge often appears full.
