GEMS Sensors 225100 – UCL-510 Ultrasonic Continuous Level Transmitter

• 49-Inch (1245 mm) Range
• 1″ NPT Mounting
• Non-Contact for Corrosive, Sticky or Dirty Media
• Provides Full Pump or Valve Control

The UCL-510 is a general-purpose ultrasonic sensor providing non-contact level detection up to 49.2″ (1.25m), with 4 relays for switch or control functions and continuous level measurement. This compact unit offers a non-contact alternative to our float or conductance sensors in small tank chemical feed or handling applications when corrosive, sticky or dirty media is involved.

The configuration software, supplied with the sensor, provides flexible system integration or retrofit of existing level devices with configuration control. Integral level automation functions can further reduce system costs through the reduction of external control hardware. The analog output enables local tank level indication, remote PLC monitoring or automation functions. Gems UCL-510 is the non-contact solution for small tank level switch, control and measurement.

Versatile Application

Controller

• Autofill/empty
• Can control 2 pumps/valves
• Lead/lag
• Duplex
• Unused relays may be used as additional alarms

The UCL-510 features programmable level intelligence and can be reconfigured for different sensing duties (such as switch actuation points) after installation. This is an advantage over our float or conductivity-type sensors. The user-friendly configuration software provides unmatched accuracy and programming for control applications. Multi-function relay control, coupled with 4-20 mA output generates amazing control capabilities. Advanced signal processing techniques provide the UCL-510 with next-generation digital processing for control. The UCL-510 is level control made simple.

Switching

• High-level alarm (1-4)
• Low-level alarm (1-4)
• Any combination of high and/or low alarms

The UCL-510 provides a non-contact alternative to our float and conductivity probes multipoint level switches. It combines 4 built-in SPST relays, with a selectable hysteresis that eliminates relay chatter from turbulent media. Additionally, non-contact sensors are immune to the performance issues influenced by changes in a media’s specific gravity.

• Adjustable 4-20 mA output
• Reversible output
• Interface directly to the local display and/or to PLC, SCADA, DCS systems

Remote displays/controllers can increase relay functionality

The UCL-510 is a good non-contact alternative to our XT float type transmitters for challenging media that can damage moving parts. The UCL-510 is for sticky, scaling or corrosive media. It provides exceptional measurement accuracy (0.125”), resolution (0.019”) and repeatability ensuring overall system performance reliability.
