General description

5.2.1.

Design

The electrolyte monitoring comprises (see Fig. 1):
• A sensor that contains two ultrasonic cells: an emitter and a
receiver;
• A screw-on cover that maintains the flexible hose in the sensor;
• A 5-m cable fitted with a right-angle M12 plug, that contains one
yellow and one green LEDs.
The electrolyte monitoring requires a power supply of 12-30 VDC and
has a PNP output which can be connected to an alarm. The electrolyte
monitoring is equipped with an M12 5-pin male fixed connector.

measuring principle

The sensor contains two ultrasonic cells: an emitter and a receiver.
The ultrasonic emitter transmits short high-frequency pulses. The
ultrasonic receiver analyzes the signal received:
• If the hose is filled with liquid, a part of the ultrasound is trans-
ferred by the emitter through the hose to the receiver. The yellow
LED is ON and the output is active.
• If the hose is empty or if there is a bubble, the part of the ultra-
sound received by the receiver is much lower. In that case, the
yellow LED of the connector goes out to indicate an error and the
