  • Page 11: About The Ultratwin

    UltraTWIN sends a transmit pulse to the transducer(s), which emits an ultrasonic pulse perpendicular to the transducer face, and the returned echo is sent back to the UltraTWIN. The time taken to receive the echo is measured and the distance from the transducer face to the surface being monitored is calculated.
