Flowline DS14 Specifications

EchoPod DS14 Ultrasonic Level Switch & Controller

®

Application

The general purpose ultrasonic level switch provides

continuous level detection up to 49.2” (1.25m) with 4

programmable relays for level switch or level control
functions, and is congured via our free WebCal
software. The embedded level controller can lower
cost by replacing external control hardware. This
non-contact liquid level sensor is ideally suited
for corrosive, sticky or dirty liquids, and is broadly
selected for small day tank, skid, IBC, sump and

process tank level applications.

Features

• Level detection, switch and control functions up to

49.2” (1.25m)

• Conguration is fast and easy via WebCal software

and USB adapter

• Narrow 2” beam width and short 2” dead band

optimized for small tanks

• Four (4) programmable relays rated @ 1A / 60VA for
switch, pump or valve control and fail-safety

• 1 pump or valve with 3 alarms

• 2 pumps (lead-lag) with 2 alarms

• 2 pumps (duplexing) with 2 alarms

• 4 independent switch point alarms

• PVDF transducer and 6P polycarbonate enclosure for
corrosive liquids

• Automatic temperature compensation for accurate
measurement

Success

Metal parts are often

painted in dip tanks

to achieve a clean,

uniform coating. In

this process, sus-

pended parts are

briey submerged,

and then removed

to rack dry in temperature and humidity controlled

rooms. Dip tanks are generally 2’ to 4’ deep with level

and mixer automation. Here an EchoPod multi-func-

tion level sensor controls the ll valve on each tank

with a high and low level alarm. Additionally, the two-

wire, 4-20 mA level measurement signal is monitored

by the PLC. An optic level switch is also deployed as

a redundant high level alarm.
