Rosemount 3100 series Level Transmitter Ultrasonic

1. Description

The Rosemount 3100 Series is a liquid level transmitter based on ultrasonic technology that is suitable for many liquid applications. Ultrasonic pulse signals are transmitted and reflected from the liquid surface. The transmitter ‘listens’ for reflected signals (echoes) and measures the time-delay between transmitting and receiving. The distance to the liquid surface is automatically calculated using the computed time-delay.

The transmitter then calculates the liquid depth (level) and outputs the level as a 4–20 mA signal (and a digital HART® signal on the Rosemount 3102 and 3105). The Rosemount 3102 is used for measuring the level only.

The Rosemount 3102 and 3105 can calculate distance-to-surface, contents (volume), or open channel flow, and then output the result as a 4–20 mA signal and a digital HART signal.

An integral temperature sensor continuously measures the air temperature around the transmitter. It then computes the speed of sound in air, automatically compensating the calculated distance for temperature effects. The Rosemount 3102 and 3105 have a remote temperature sensor option.
