The Babbitt LT3000 Ultrasonic
Level Transmitter allows simple and reliable non-contact level measurement
of fluids in a tank, sump or other container. The microprocessor-controlled
circuit generates a pulse that is transmitted from the transducer
face. This pulse is reflected back from the surface of the liquid.
The "round trip" transit time is then converted into the current
output, which is directly proportional to the fluid level.
The circuit automatically
filters out false echoes that may be produced by peripheral obstructions
in the tank. For example, a pipe or ladder that is in the "ultrasonic
cone" (but not directly in front of the transducer's face) will
be ignored; the LT3000 has a proprietary circuit that locks onto
the farthest echo which will always be the fluid level.

Outputs
|
The current output (4-20mA)
can power a load of up to 500 ohms. The power source for the current
loop is field selectable via an on-board jumper; the LT3000 can
provide the power for the loop or an external 24VDC power supply
may be used.
The current loop is also
used to diagnose errors in the unit. Error Codes are a specific
current reading that is less than 4mA.
The Factory can supply
digital readouts with optional setpoints for self-contained alarm/control
systems.
|
Calibration |
A
single push-button is used to set the point for 4mA and 20mA. The
output may be either proportional (elevation) (4-20mA with zero=4mA
at the bottom of the tank) or inversely proportional (depth) (20-4mA
with 4mA=zero at the top of the tank). The 4mA and 20mA points are
independent and fully adjustable over the span of the unit. Feedback
for the calibration procedure is provided via a "green-yellow-red"
LED. The calibration settings are stored in non-volatile memory, so
the unit stays calibrated even during loss of power. |
