Optional
These components are available from Milltronics:

Mounting:

Rail mount for Monitor

Rail mount for Transceiver

Stationary Handrail Bracket Kit for Sensor

Swing-out Adapter Kit for Sensor

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS

The InterRanger is made up of three main components: the Monitor, the Transceiver, and the Sensor.

The Monitor
displays the current interface level and transmits this information to other equipment.

The Transceiver
drives the ultrasonic Sensor and transmits the echo signals to the Monitor.

The Sensor
sends out the ultrasonic pulses through the liquid medium and receives the echoes.
