The KOBOLD EchoKing ultrasonic transmitter is a full featured level sensing system suitable for monitoring levels of liquids and some dry-bulk materials. The unit’s sophisticated signal processing delivers an accuracy and dependability not possible with older technology. The EchoKing’s enhanced abilities are made possible by a powerful internal microprocessor. The system uses a form of artificial intelligence to learn about its surroundings. An on-going learning process is used to help the EchoKing distinguish between real echos, reflections
and just plain old background noise. At the same time, the sensor constantly adapts to changes in the on-site conditions. In air environments, the NEO adjusts for temperature variations through use of an internal thermal sensor and compensating table. A built-in relay may be used to control tank fill/empty operations, as an alarm for level detection, or for fault detection. Span, setpoint limits and all necessary information is stored digitally in the EchoKing’s non-volatile memory – there are no sensitive analog potentiometers to adjust. Despite its technical complexity, the system is easily programmable via an onboard touch-pad. All process parameters can be easily entered into the system at the installation site.
