Ultrasonic measurement Time-of-Flight Prosonic FMU40

Cost effective device for sophisticated level measurement in liquids and bulk solids for up to 5m


The Prosonic FMU40 sensor is suited for non-contact level measurement in fluids, pastes, coarse bulk material and flow measurement in open channels or at weirs. The two-wire or four-wire compact transmitter can be used in applications with storage tanks, agitators, on stockpiles and conveyor belts. The envelope curve can be shown on the on-site display for simple diagnosis. Linearization function (up to 32 points) for conversion of the measured value into any unit of length, volume or flow rate.

Benefits

  • Reliable non-contact measurement

  • Quick and simple commissioning via menu-guided on-site operation with four-line plain text display, 7 languages selectable

  • Envelope curves on the on-site display for simple diagnosis

  • Hermetically sealed and potted sensor

  • Chemically resistant sensor out of PVDF

  • Calibration without filling or discharging

  • Integrated temperature sensor for automatic correction of the temperature dependent sound velocity

Field of application

Two-wire or four-wire instrument for continuous non-contact level and flow measurement.

  • Process connection: Thread

  • Temperature: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)

  • Pressure: +0.7 to +3bar (+10 to +44psi)

  • Maximum measuring distance: Liquids 5m (16ft), Solids 2m (16ft)

  • Blocking distance: Liquids and Solids 0.25m (0.8ft)

  • International explosion protection certificates
