Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calibrate the EchoSmart sensors?
The sensors require no calibration. The sensor’s ultrasonic design is already customized for the application and therefore requires no calibration.
Is it possible to utilise the wireless field network and get the measurement at our control system via 4-20mA outputs?
Yes. A digital to analog (Modbus to 4-20mA) sixteen channel converter is available for purchase. This device utilizes the Controller’s ability to wirelessly retrieve data from each sensor and then converts those values to individual and configurable 4-20mA outputs
What outputs are available on the EchoSmart system?
Current measurements can be obtained via Modbus RTU from the Controller or via 4-20mA outputs from each sensor connection.
Is it possible to see both the blanket level and the dispersed solids above the blanket?
When the sludge is well-settled, yes. The displayed measurement will be the sludge level and the dispersed solids can be visually observed on the Tank View screen and is additionally available for output via Modbus or a 4-20mA output.
How often do the EchoSmart sensors need to be cleaned?
It is recommended that the sensors be inspected frequently the first 3 to 6 months to establish the necessary cleaning regimen for the specific application. Ensuring the measurement surface of the sensor remains clear of any buildup (and that the wiper arm is allowed to rotate freely, when applicable) will allow for uninterrupted performance.
