INTROTEK® ADU Series Sensor is a solution for non-standard, soft tube sizes between 1 ⁄ 8“ and 3 ⁄ 8“ where standard AD9 Air Bubble Detector housings are not available. The ADU can eliminate tooling costs for low volume requirements for some odd-sized tubes. Our ADU incorporates many of the features of the AD9 including the latest generation “MEC” pulse-type ultrasonic circuitry. The micro-controller based circuitry is located integrally in the sensor assembly. Custom algorithms to control functionality, such as response times, time delays and more can be designed at Introtek based on customer requirements.
Operating Principle
Introtek’s patented pulse-type ultrasonic technology provides highly reliable, non-invasive air detection capabilities in the most critical applications where the safety of a patient or process is mandatory. Many of the variables, which can affect performance of amplitude or continuous wave based sensing systems, are eliminated or greatly reduced, thus yielding accurate and repeatable detection.
