Sludge Finder 2 Level Detector
Manufacturer: Pulsar MeasurementSludge Finder 2 Level Detector
Manufacturer: Pulsar MeasurementThe Sludge Finder 2 provides reliable and continuous sludge blanket level measurement.
The two-part system has been purposely designed for sludge blanket level measurement, operating ultrasonically through a liquid.
The Sludge Finder 2 uses proven echo processing algorithms to identify the sludge interface level using state-of-the-art technology only found in this unit.
Sludge Finder 2 is designed to be maintenance-free. Sludge Finder’s Viper transducer is a single beam ultrasonic unit immersed just below the liquid surface. A wiper blade sweeps the transducer face, ensuring that it remains clean.
Additionally, the Sludge Finder 2 features 4-20 mA outputs for each channel, with an optional RS485 connection using Modbus or Profibus communications. Six control relays are included and are assignable to any channel.
An optional Radio Telemetry System may be fitted with a 500 m (1,640 ft) line of sight range.
The Sludge Finder 2 will operate with one or two transducers. You can mix and match Sludge Transducers and Pulsar Measurement’s main dB Ultrasonic Transducer range to give astonishing versatility.
