TS-98 Ultrasonic Level Meter
Special Characteristics
xxxxThe TS-98 Ultrasonic Level Meter is a new type of instrument for measuring the amount
of solid or liquid material in a container. The instrument uses a type of non-contact
measurement which combines ultrasonic wave technology and several other types of
technology. The measurement system is based on the principles of reflected ultrasonic waves
used to detect the distance between the surface of the material in the container and the
detector. Then the instrument uses this distance to calculate the height of the material or the
percentage of the container that the material occupies.
The Meter also features a temperature sensor which measures the temperature of the
material in the container. Based on the temperature of the material, the Meter can then make
adjustments in the ultrasonic wave speed, thus eliminating any errors that may occur due to
the temperature, and increasing the precision of the instrument. It uses a high- powered
detector head, large-scale integrated circuitry and TGC (Time Gain Control) circuitry, so that
the detection distance can be anywhere from a few meters to 50 meters. It also uses dynamic
blind zone technology. When the material is getting close to the top of the the container, the
Meter will automatically decrease the pulse width of the ultrasonic waves, thus decreasing the
blind zone to within 0.5 meters. Another feature of the Meter is its "empty container threshold
value curve" technology. This technology allows the Meter to make corrections for any objects
within the material such as mixers and other components of the container.
The instrument is compsed of a ultrasonic detector and a secondary display meter. The
secondary display meter features a 6-digit LED numerical display and four function keys
which each control a number of different functions of the instrument. The Meter also has three
different output ports allowing for effective computer management of the whole system.
