 Ultrasonic level measurement
From simple level monitoring to complex control systems

Siemens Echomax ultrasonic transducers provide trouble-free, reliable perfor-

mance. The complete line of transducers is the logical choice for monitoring levels
of liquids, slurries, and solids in a wide range of industries. They are impervious
to dust, moisture, vibrations, flooding, and high temperatures. Mounting brackets
are available for easy installation. The non-contacting ultrasonic technology
means there is no material buildup, no corrosion, and no down-time. Siemens
transducers are easy to install and are virtually maintenance-free.
