961-20A0-011 Datasheet, PDF (4/12 Pages) Magnetrol International, Inc. – Echotel® Model 961/962 Ultrasonic Level Switches
APPLICATIONS
TYPICAL
Model 961 single point switches may be used for high or
low level alarm, as well as for pump protection. The Model
962 dual point unit is typically configured to measure
high/low, high/high, or low/low levels.
The single point 961 can be mounted vertically or
horizontally in vessels, bridles, or pipes. The dual gap 962
is always top mounted.
A broad selection of transducer materials allow the 961/962
to be used in a wide variety of process media. Metallic
transducers include 316 SS, Hastelloy® C, and Monel®. The
316 SS transducer has a NACE construction option for sour
gas service, and can also be built per ASME B31.1 and
B31.3 piping codes. Thermoplastic transducers include
Kynar® and CPVC. These corrosion resistant plastic trans-
ducers feature a stiffening tube that runs the length of the
transducer for extra rigidity. Kynar-faced 316 SS flange
options are offered with the Kynar transducers.

PUMP CONTROL
A DIP switch on the Model 962 allows it to be configured
to control level, or to function as a pump controller. In the
pump control mode the unit can perform auto fill or auto
empty of tanks, sumps, or wet wells. The tip sensitive
lower gap allows liquid levels to be pumped down to
within 1⁄4" from the bottom of the vessel. The rigidity of the
flow through upper gap allows the 962 to be used even
when sumps experience severe turbulence from vessel
fill lines.
HYGIENIC
The hygienic version of the Model 961 features a deep
drawn stainless steel electronics housing. Tri-Clamp® and
DN65 Varivent hygienic process connections are offered for
use in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology
applications. These hygienic transducers have 3-A
(Authorization #596), EHEDG certification (per TNO Report
# V4772/01) and a 20 Ra finish to provide a uniform and
ultra-smooth surface that inhibits microbial growth.
Electron beam welding technology is utilized to facilitate a
crevice-free surface inside the transducer tip. This allows
these transducers to be used in a wide variety of hygienic
applications where CIP (Clean-in-Place) is used to remove
any contamination from the transducer surface.
