transducers |
1
or 2 depending on measurement requirements |
Transducer
type |
Air
coupled compression probe, 64 kHz.. 1 MHz types
(Transducers in the 500
kHz - 1 MHz range are used with
separate pre amplifiers for improved noise immunity) |
Temperature
compensation |
Dual
sensor, 1 for each transducer |
Air
temperature range |
0..
40¡É. |
Measurement
modes |
Distance
via transducer 1 / 2
Thickness using reference surface via transducer 1 / 2
Thickness using two opposite transducers with automatic calibration. |
Measurement

mm. |
Accuracy |
Depending
on airflow and instrument setting, ¡¾0.05 mm typical on
a range of
0.. 30 mm, ¡¾0.1 mm and more on range > 30 mm. |
Filtering |
Average
(range 1.. 1000 measurements), noise burst suppression,
alarm filtering, see alarm specification. |
In
/ Outputs |
RS232
: Single module computer interface for data and setup.
RS485 : Multi channel link for data and setup (up to 16 units).
Analogue : 2 analogue outputs with scaling, 0.. 10 V. |
Alarm |
2
relays with programmable thresholds and alarm modes. |
Alarm
filtering |
1..
100 consecutive limit violations before alarm relays activate. |
Alarm
modes |
Relay
1 : value > setpoint 1, Relay 2 : value > setpoint 2
Relay
1 : value > setpoint 1, Relay 2 : value < setpoint 2
Relay 1 : value
< setpoint 1, Relay 2 : value < setpoint 2
Relay 1 : value
< setpoint 1, Relay 2 : value > setpoint 2
Relay activation can be realtime or latched |
