ULTRASONIC water level
controller
ADVANTAGES
·
Simple
installation and operation
·
No moving
parts
·
Non-contacting
measurement
·
Continuous
water level detection
·
Can be used
some non-liquid materials/media
·
Suitable for
liquid and some solids
·
High accuracy
& sensitivity
DISADVANTAGES
·
Turbulence in
water can potential cause temporary inaccurate readings (not common)
·
Costs a
little more than other types of water level sensors (more circuitry involved,
high frequency transducer, etc)
·
May be
difficult to sense levels at long range (most applications require only a short
range)
·
Not
appropriate for materials or tanks that can hamper the sensor’s received echo
(odd shaped tanks, divider plates can throw off the signal, etc)
