About the Transducer
The Echomax XRS-5 transducer works with Milltronics transceivers and
provides the ultrasonic pulse and echo reception
that these devices require.
The transducer converts electrical pulses
provided by the transceiver to ultrasonic pulses
used for measurement and then converts the
ultrasonic echoes back to an electrical signal.
This signal is interpreted by the Milltronics
tranceiver using the patented Sonic
Intelligence™ algorithms. The ultrasonic pulse
reduces in power by 3dB in a 10° cone from the
transducer face. It is important to keep objects
out of this cone to reduce the chance of false
echos being recorded.
The XRS-5 transducer incorporates an
integral temperature sensor that reports the
ambient temperature to the transceiver. The
connection is transparent in that both the
ultrasonic and temperature components of
the transducer use the same leads. This
ensures that the Milltronics transceiver can
automatically compensate the speed of
sound constant for varying temperatures.
