Echotel Models 344 and 345 are full-featured, ultrasonic
non-contact transmitters that provide continuous mea-
surement for liquid level, volume, or open channel flow
applications. These versatile transmitters utilize the
latest in microprocessor-based electronics along with
powerful non-contact ultrasonic transducers, to provide
level measurement that is not affected by changes in
specific gravity, viscosity, or conductivity.
Model 344 and 345 are remote mounted transmitters
that feature a front panel keypad, and a large
16-character alphanumeric display of all parameters.
These transmitters are paired up with Kynar
316 stainless steel EchoMaster™ Ultrasonic Transducers
that have extensive agency approvals for hazardous
area locations.
F E A T U R E S
Front panel keypad for ease of programming – no
need to open enclosure after wiring
4–20 mA isolated (1,000 Ω load) and RS-232 outputs
Four 10 amp SPDT relays allow for simple alarm
configurations to complex pump control including
lead/lag alternation of pumps
Password code prevents unauthorized tampering of
calibration parameters
16-character alphanumeric display of all parameters.
Complete self-diagnostics assures unit is operating
properly by checking all relays, outputs, and system
functionality
Temperature compensation integral to all ultrasonic
transducers
False target buffering eliminates signal interference
from fixed obstructions in vessel

    F A L S E T A R G E T D E T E C T I O N When it is impossible to mount the transducer far enough away from obstructions in the vessel a unique false target detection feature can be used. This target detection mode programs the transducer to search for, and display, the distance of the target nearest the trans- ducer.
