Echomax transducers, including the XRS-5 model, are designed to deliver accurate, reliable measurements in demanding environments. Equipped with advanced echo processing technology, these transducers can effectively measure level in applications with turbulence, foam, and buildup, ensuring uninterrupted performance even when conditions are challenging.
The XRS-5’s narrow 10° beam angle enhances precision, particularly in confined spaces, making it ideal for applications in narrow lift stations, wet wells, channels, and filter basins. Additionally, the transducer's CSM rubber face and PVDF housing provide robust protection against methane, saltwater, and caustic chemicals commonly found in wastewater and marine applications, ensuring long-lasting durability and dependable results.
The XRS-5 has several benefits, some of which we have listed for you below:
The XRS-5 ultrasonic transducer offers reliable, non-contacting level measurement with a range of 0.3 to 8 meters (1 to 26 feet), making it ideal for a variety of applications where durability and precise monitoring are critical. Its advanced echo processing ensures accurate readings even in environments with obstructions, turbulence, or foam. Designed with a rugged CSM rubber face and PVDF copolymer enclosure, the XRS-5 provides high resistance to methane, salt water, and harsh chemicals, making it suitable for demanding applications like wastewater treatment and marine environments. With an IP68 protection rating, the XRS-5 remains operational even in flood conditions and can be equipped with a submergence shield to maintain performance during submersion. Additionally, it is compatible with a range of Siemens controllers, supporting both basic monitoring and more complex SCADA-integrated control systems.
Key applications:
The Echomax XRS-5 is designed for easy installation and compatibility with various control systems, from simple high/low alarm setups to sophisticated SCADA and telemetry integrations. Its IP68 submersible rating ensures reliability in flood-prone areas, and an optional submersion shield provides added functionality in full submersion scenarios.
With minimal maintenance requirements, Echomax transducers offer a low-maintenance solution that is easy to install using standard 1" NPT or BSPT connections. Their compatibility with Siemens controllers allows for seamless integration, whether in wastewater management, industrial applications, or marine environments, providing customers with flexibility, efficiency, and dependable performance across a broad range of use cases.
Proper mounting of Echomax transducers ensures reliable level measurement and long-lasting performance. While these transducers are designed to operate with minimal maintenance, monitoring their performance and ensuring they are mounted as specified in the instructions is crucial. Install the transducer according to the guidelines in its operating instructions, with attention to any application-specific requirements, such as using explosion-proof conduit seals where necessary. Generally, Echomax transducers require no routine cleaning. However, if performance changes are noticed, promptly shut down the system and inspect the transducer to maintain optimal functionality.
When installing Echomax transducers, following essential safety guidelines is critical for optimal performance and compliance, particularly in hazardous areas. Always connect or disconnect the device in a de-energized state, as energized handling can lead to explosive risks in such environments. Select an appropriate type of explosion protection, ensure all connections comply with the selected protection method, and mark any unused protection types as inactive to prevent future misuse. If ambient temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F), use heat-resistant cabling rated for at least 20°C (36°F) above the ambient level to prevent cable sheath damage. Additionally, after transportation or storage in temperature-differing conditions, let the transducer adapt to the new environment to avoid condensation damage. For effective electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference immunity, lay signal cables separately from high-voltage cables and position the device away from strong electromagnetic sources. Always engage qualified personnel to perform installations, adhering to local regulatory standards for safe and reliable operation.
