Operation
SmartSonic 5
The new SmartSonic transmitter features high efficiency, narrow beam design technology using a wide frequency bandwidth
to enhance operation in difficult applications. The transmitter performs particularly well in harsh environments where vessel
temperatures vary. SmartSonic uses smart signal processing to eliminate unwanted echoes from tank walls, standpipes,
and other tank structures that often cause error readings by other ultrasonic devices. The unit’s transducer uses a built -in,
self-cleaning operation to eliminate buildup or condensation. SmartSonic’s sensor probes are designed to adapt to the
internal tank conditions, automatically adjusting power and receiver sensitivity to any distance and reflecting surface. This
technology ensures the same echo is maintained over the entire operating range which enhances measurement accuracy.
The transmitter can be programmed to simply send a 4-20 mA analog output signal directly to an existing control system or
send data by RS-232 or RS-485 to a PC running SmartSonic’s calibration/data logging software program.

Operation—An acoustic pulse is transmitted from the SmartSonics sensor face. The pulse travels to the surface being
monitored and is reflected off this surface back to the sensor face. The time of flight is divided by 2 and converted to an
output signal directly proportional to the material level.

Mounting
SmartSonic 8
Mounting:
Mounting the SmartSonic Transmitter is critical to the
proper operation of the unit. The unit can be directly
mounted by simply threading the sensor directly into a
metal or plastic mounting flange. If an extended standpipe
is used for mounting, please consult the factory for
assistance. The thread size of the unit is dependent upon
the specific model (see specifications).
