Milltronics - The Probe - Level Monitor

[Todd]

Don't know how to start this one as I have no idea what it is

 

Was given this by the father in law today, he's retired and now selling off all his old stock and apparently this cost £600 but he never used it.

 

Was going to put it on ebay but can't find any record of one like this being sold and given the diversity of the members on here was hoping someone! may have a use for it.

 

Exact same as this http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=1860235

 

Here's the bumf from the online users guide

 

The Probe is an ultrasonic level monitor combining sensor and

electronics in a single package. It is designed to measure liquid levels

in open or closed vessels. The process part (sensor) is Tefzel ®,

allowing The Probe to be used in a wide variety of industries,

especially food and chemical.

The sensor houses the ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing

element. The Probe emits a series of ultrasonic pulses from the

transducer. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from the material and

sensed by the transducer. The echo is processed by The Probe using

Milltronic’s proven ‘Sonic Intelligence’ techniques. Filtering is applied

to help discriminate between the true echo from the material, and false

echoes from acoustical and electrical noises and agitator blades in

motion. The time for the pulse to travel to the material and back is

temperature compensated and then converted into distance for

display and mA output.
