The small, compact Sonic ultrasonic level transmitter offers non-contact measurement of liquids and solid levels. The transmitter is two-wire loop-powered and uses a simple magnetic key to set up the level range to be measured, as well as selecting the response rate and default currents. On-board AND visible operating and fault indication keeps you informed of the operational and fault status at the transmitter. Special features: • IP 68 rating and lightning protection - Water Industry • Hazardous certification - Petrochemical Industry • TEFLON nose, inert to acids - Chemical Industry • Tri-clover couplings - Food Industry The SONICtm is a cost effective, ultrasonic level transmitter for measuring and monitoring liquid levels in open and closed tanks. Its small size makes it supercompact , combining sensor and electronics in one housing. The nose section is manufactured from Teflontm .This Dupont tm material is resistant to most chemicals, and includes an on-board, temperature sensing element to ensure correct level measurement at all temperatures. The electronics housing is manufactured from UPVC. The SONICtm transducer transmits a series of short, controlled, ultrasonic pulses towards a surface. The reflected echoes are intelligently conditioned to remove any noise, and the time taken for the echoes to reach the sensor face are calculated and converted to distance for transmission as a current loop output. Zero and full tank levels are entered into the SONICtm by touching the Z and S targets, on the Sonic body, with the magnetic key provided. The Sonic does the rest. The SONICtm offers on-board and visible LED indication to confirm power is ON and that the unit is working correctly. ENVIRONMENT SONIC 5 USA Level transmitter OPERATING MANUAL INTERCONNECTIONS The SONIC is terminated away from the instrument, at the end of the integral cable to preserve the NEMA 6X sealed rating. The 4/20mA loop can be supplied up to ½ mile away from the Sonic. Wiring must conform to standard instrumentation practices and wiring codes. The SONIC is reverse polarity protected and protected against lightning strikes NOTE: If the supply is reverse polarity connected both LEDs will stay off. Please ensure the red wire is connected to the positive WIRING The 4/20 mA output from the Sonic does not require screening . Leave the screen floating and disconnected CABLE SCREENING INSTALLATION Do not over-tighten the Sonic in the mounting Always ensure that the Sonic is mounted perpendicularly to the reflecting surface Avoid mounting the sonic in the centre of the roof of the tank Mount the Sonic 5 at least 0.5 ft above the highest expected level. For dams, open reservoirs, or open tanks, the preferred mounting method is to suspend the Sonic from its own cable. Preferred installation for open tanks, dams, weirs, etc TANK MOUNTING OPTIONS e ed r pow l p oo SUPASONIC
