    PULSAR MEASUREMENT CHAPTER 1: START HERE… Congratulations on your purchase of a Pulsar BlackBox 130 Level System. This quality system has been developed over many years and represents the latest in high technology ultrasonic level measurement and control. It has been designed to give you years of trouble-free performance, and a...

  • Page 8: About The Blackbox

    BLACKBOX 130 INSTRUCTION MANUAL About the BlackBox The Pulsar BlackBox is a non-contact Level Control System. It has been designed to provide a new concept in low-cost maintenance-free fit and forget level measurement without any compromise on performance. The BlackBox is ideally suited to applications where level monitoring, reporting, control, or logging is required, with or without the need for a local display.

  • Page 9: Functional Description

    The BlackBox utilises the unique DATEM software (Digital Adaptive Tracking of Echo Movement). This is a unique digital mapping technique developed especially for Pulsar’s range of ultrasonic level and control systems. It gives the system edge when identifying the “true target level” in the face of competing echoes from pipes, pumps or other obstructions.
