An ultrasonic level gauge is a digital level measuring instrument controlled by a microprocessor. During measurement, pulsed ultrasonic waves are emitted by the sensor; the sound waves are reflected off the surface of the object and then received by the same sensor, where they are converted into electrical signals. The distance from the sensor to the object being measured is calculated based on the time between the emission and reception of sound waves. Since non-contact measurement is used, there are almost no limitations on the medium to be measured, allowing it to be widely applied to the height measurement of various liquids and solid materials. When selecting an ultrasonic level gauge, the properties of the medium to be measured should be taken into consideration ； Requirements for the container of the medium under test and on-site installation. This article introduces several installation requirements for ultrasonic level gauges. 1. The distance between the sensor and the highest liquid level should be greater than the blind zone (the clear distance equals the highest liquid level plus the blind zone), and it is also necessary to ensure that the sensor’s axis is perpendicular to the liquid surface being measured. II. The instrument cannot function properly in the blind zone and within the range of the minimum distance from the sensor to the liquid level being measured. Generally, for a range of <20m, this distance is set between 30cm and 60cm; for a range of >20m, it is set between 60cm and 100cm. III. Rubber washers can be added when necessary during fixation, while keeping as far away from the noise source as possible ； Due to the emission angle of the sensor, a certain distance should be maintained between the sensor and the wall during installation. When measuring the solid level, the sensor should be kept away from the discharge port. IV. Within the measurement range, there should be no obstacles that could generate interfering signals, such as ladders, beams, or maintenance access paths. When measuring solid materials, a phase conversion connector can be used if necessary; it allows the measurement angle of the sensor to be adjusted so that the sensor can receive echo signals to the greatest extent possible, thereby identifying the optimal point for accurate level measurement. The above are the key installation guidelines for ultrasonic level gauges that have been summarized for you. I hope that through this article, everyone can gain a basic understanding of the installation of ultrasonic level gauges.
