High-accuracy Ultrasonic Sensor

The new RPS-412A high-accuracy analog ultrasonic sensor operates at ۪.002 in. or 0.05 percent of range, whichever is greater, at 25°C. The unit’s built-in temperature compensation target monitors and compensates for air temperature 50 times per second. The sensor also compensates for changes in relative humidity, barometric pressure, and other factors that influence the speed of sound. It is designed to take advantage of PLC and computer analog input cards, which determine the resolution of the system. The numerical values programmed into the PLC or computer determines the zero and span.
