Model 960 Ultrasonic Level Switches use pulsed
signal
technology
for
superior
performance
in
difficult process conditions, and to provide excellent
immunity from sources of electrical noise interference.
Extensive self-testing of the electronics and transducer
make this advanced switch suitable for a wide variety of
critical level applications.
Model 960 Switches use Actuator-Sensor-Interface (AS-i)
bus digital communications for high or low single-point
liquid level measurement. AS-i is a versatile, low-cost
cabling solution that is a digital replacement for traditional
hard wiring of field devices. The AS-i bus system provides
a digital serial interface with a single unshielded two-wire
cable for power and data transfer.
The industrial version of the Model 960 has a cast alu-
minum electronics housing and a wide variety of threaded
or flanged versions of the ultrasonic transducer. The
hygienic version is offered in a deep drawn 304 stainless
steel housing and transducers with a 20 Ra surface finish.
