Burkert Ultrasonic Level Probe and Transmitter Remote Mounted, 8170–8175 Burkert Ultrasonic Level Probe and Transmitter Remote Mounted, 8170–8175 Burkert Ultrasonic Level Probe and Transmitter Remote Mounted, 8170–8175
The Ultrasonic Level Transmitter Type 8170/8175 combines an ultrasonic sensor probe and a remote transducer with a large 8-digit multi-language display in a splash-proof plastic NEMA 4 enclosure for remote mounting.

The transmitter is powered with 18–32 Vdc (optionally 120/240 Vac) and features a three-wire 4–20 mA output for direct controlling a continuous control valve, a PLC or for monitoring. Two optional 3A relays can be configured as alarms or latched for automatic fill or empty operations.
Features
  • Teach-In function for easy commissioning provides low Total Cost of Ownership
  • Simulation function for system tests under dry run conditions
  • 4-20 mA current output for continuous control
  • Two relay outputs for ON/OFF control and fail-safe logic
  • Easy commissioning due to multi language, menu-guided operation with 8-digit alphanumeric display
  • Intelligent echo filter for automatic rejection of perturbating echoes
  • CE
