Features
  • Long-range level measurements up to 60 m (197’)
  • Built-in thermistor for temperature compensation
  • Customizable cable length
Options
  • Available without thermistor
  • Optional cable, cap, and thermistor
Performance Notes
Performance measurements should ideally be taken when the transducer reaches a steady state. The minimum and maximum sensing ranges are best-case scenarios and may vary based on drive circuitry and signal processing.
Graphical Data
  • Directivity Pattern: Illustrates the beamwidth and angle of the transducer.
  • Impedance Magnitude & Phase: Shows the relationship between frequency and impedance.
  • Transmit & Receive Voltage Response: Displays the TVR and RVR across frequencies.
  • Figure of Merit: Sum of TVR & RVR across frequencies.
