Detectronic Model 606 Manual Verified [DIRECT]
Like all ultrasonic sensors, the Model 606 has a "dead band" (usually the first 12–18 inches from the sensor face). Ensure the maximum liquid level never enters this zone, or the sensor will provide "lost echo" errors.
To ensure the Model 606 provides accurate data, the physical installation must follow these verified parameters:
Define the maximum head height corresponding to a 20mA output. detectronic model 606 manual verified
Often caused by electrical interference. Ensure the transducer cable is not run in the same conduit as high-voltage power lines.
Set the damping (averaging) to 10–30 seconds to prevent "jitter" in the readings caused by surface ripples. 5. Troubleshooting Common Issues Like all ultrasonic sensors, the Model 606 has
Select between Metric (m³/hr) or Imperial (MGD/GPM).
