Ultrasonic sensors fit in smaller spaces
Ultrasonic measurement unit uses very small sensor (VSS) technology to fit into those applications where ultrasonic sensors could not previously be used because they were too large.
The Cosense Model ML-101 single- and multichannel ultrasonic measurement unit uses very small sensor (VSS) technology to fit into those applications where ultrasonic sensors could not previously be used because they were too large The smaller size of the sensor enables the ML-101 to be used with autosamplers, robotics samplers, titration equipment, micro-sampling devices and test tube racks noncontact thickness measurement, profile of objects

Detection system monitors bubbles and breaks
Clamp-on sensor detects air bubbles or breaks in the flow of liquids through different types of flexible and rigid tubing.
Solid-state level sensors are more reliable
Ultrasonic liquid level switches are direct replacements for mechanical float type or electro-optic liquid level devices for high and low level alarm, pump protection, auto fill/auto empty operation.
The primary advantage of an ultrasonic measurement system is no contact exists with the medium to be measured, therefore, no contamination problems arise.
The ML-101 performs high speed, multi-point, noncontact ultrasonic measurements with an accuracy of +/-0.1mm standard unit modified up to accuracy of +/-0.001mm.
An ML-101 is based on a modular design with accommodates up to 12 transducers per unit.
These transducers, only 4mm in diameter and 38mm in length, transmit a 1MHz ultrasonic wave with pinpoint accuracy and is fully programmable through its serial port.
The ML-101 has an optional handheld terminal which may be used to program the unit.
A selectable output indication in either centimetres or microlitres is provided.
A choice of 0-10V DC or RS232 outputs are available.
The ML-101 operates on 115/230V AC, 50/60Hz, 24V DC or 12V DC.
The overall range is 13 to 254mm with repeatability within 0.05% of the range.
The temperature range is -30 to +70C for the sensor and electronics.
