ULTRASONIC TYPE
General Operating Principle
ULS Series switches operate using ultrasonic sound wave propagation. Ultrasonic sound waves are greatly attenuated when transmitted through air. Conversely, when liquid is present, transmission of the sound waves is greatly enhanced. The electronic control unit generates electrical signals that are converted to bursts of ultrasonic energy at the sensor. The ultrasonic bursts are transmitted across the liquid sensing gap. Upon receipt of a valid signal, the solid-state electronics generate a data enable condition, indicating liquid is present. This signal energizes a relay and provides an output condition.

Switch actuates when level reaches halfway point of gap.
Typical Installation
1. Drill a suitable hole in the vessel or pipe wall and tap for 3/4" NPT. In thin walled vessel or material not suitable for threading, weld or braze a bushing to accept the sensor.
2. Screw the sensor in the threaded section and make sure that there is a good seal. Use a pipe compound or sealing tape to avoid excessive tightening. Do not overtighten.
3. Run the power and control wiring cables to the electronics control unit.

constructed with solid­state components and epoxy-potted.
Periodically, check and clean the sensor when used with liquids which cause a coating build-up on the sensor. No other maintenance is required.
If the pipe or vessel to which the unit is mounted is to be steam-cleaned or cleaned with abrasive detergents, remove the entire unit before cleaning by:
