Pepperl Fuchs LUC-M40

Ultrasonic Level Sensor. Device for non-contact level measurement, Measuring range up to 10 m in fluids, Measuring range up to 5 m in bulk materials, Quick and simple commissioning via menu-guided onsite operation with four-line display, Optional remote display and operation (up to 20 m from transmitter), Integrated temperature sensor for automatic correction of the temperature dependent sound velocity. Measuring method: The sensor of the device transmits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the product surface. There, the ultrasonic pulses are reflected back and received by the sensor. The device measures the time between pulse transmission and reception. The instrument uses the time (and the velocity of sound) to calculate the distance between the sensor membrane and the product surface. As the device knows the empty distance from a user entry, the device calculate the level.. Equipment architecture: 4 ... 20 mA output with HART protocol. Construction type: compact device. Series: LUC-M40. Connection: 2-wire , 4 ... 20 mA , HART protocol , 14 ... 30 V DC. Rated voltage: 14 ... 30 V DC , 8 V DC at 20 mA. Ripple: 47 ... 125 Hz , Upp = 200 mV (measured at 500 Ω). Noise: 0.5 ... 10 kHz , Urms = 2.2 mV (measured at 500 Ω). Current consumption: 3.6 ... 22 mA. Power consumption: 51 ... 800 mW. Measured variable: distance between the sensor membrane and the product surfaceusing the linearization function, the device calculate- level in any units- volume in any units- flow across measuring weirs or open channels in any units. Measuring range: max. 10 m (32.8 foot) in fluidsmax. 5 m (16.4 foot) in bulk materials. Operating frequency: approx. 42 kHz. Blocking distance: 0.4 m. Load: min. 250 Ω for HART communication. Linearity: The linearization function of the device allows conversion of the measured value into any unit of length or volume. In open channels or measuring weirs, also a flow linearization is possible (calculation of the flow from the measured level).. Output signal: 4 ... 20 mA with HART protocol. Output damping: 0 ... 255 s , freely selectable. Signal on alarm: error information can be accessed via the following interfaces:- on-site display (error symbol, error code and plain text description)- current output (configurable)- digital interface.
