Ultrasonic level transmitters use an acoustic pulse is emitted from the transducer towards the surface to be measured. This acoustic pulse is then reflected back towards the transducer and the time taken for the pulse to return is accurately measured by microprocessor-controlled circuitry. Knowing the speed of sound in air and allowing for ambient temperature, the microprocessor can mathematically determine the correct distance to within 1 mm. We use this technology in all of our sensors, switches,controllers and instrumentation

   The algorithms used in KAB's Sumpi series of ultrasonic level detectors have proven effective in preventing the instrument from locking on to any false echoes, guaranteeing valid level indication. The devices feature compensation for fluctuations in ambient temperature - and all instruments in the range are programmed via an integral keypad and LCD display, through a menu driven set-up procedure. Damping of the instrument is achieved through selecting a rate of change appropriate to the medium being measured versus the actual rate of change of the process.

   While many other ultrasonic transducer manufacturers have difficulties dealing with dust coating on the transducer, KAB's unique self-cleaning system prevents a layer of material from accumulating on the face of the transducer.

SHORTI
The SHORTI range of compact ultasonic level equipment is designed to measure liquid and solid levels up to a range of 5 meters. The range can be configured by the keyboard and display. The SHORTI is mounted on top of the vessel or tank. The microprocessor in the SHORTI fires an electronic pulse, which the transducer converts into an acoustic pulse. The pulse travels to the level that is being measured and is reflected back to the transducer...

The Netsonix system
The Netsonix system is an ethernet-based unit, designed with its intended use for all SCADA and PLC systems. Data acquired by the Netsonix units is converted to Ethernet (TCP/IP protocol). The Netsonix can then be connected directly into a LAN (Local Area Network) from where the customer is able to view it on his SCADA package using KAB OPC server. Not only can process conditions be monitored, but the customer is also able to view the operational status of the instrument. The customer is also capable of making changes to the parameters in the setup menu to suit conditions on the plant. The parameter changes are made possible by the integrated OPC server. The OPC server allows a user to view any information of the connected devices connected on the network.
