TIENet® Model 310 Ex Ultrasonic Level Sensor Section 1 Introduction The Signature® Flow Meter uses the TIENet 310 Ex Device to provide non-contact liquid level measurement. The flow meter has built-in level-to-flow conversions that cover the majority of open channel flow measurement situations.
TIENet® Model 310 Ex Ultrasonic Level Sensor Section 1 Introduction This non-contact measurement method reduces the frequency of maintenance, and is ideal for applications where the flow may contain chemicals, grease, silt, or suspended solids. 1.2 310 Ex Sensor Design The ultrasonic level sensor consists of a housing with a single transducer that is both pulse transmitter and echo receiver.
