INTROTEK® BD8 / BD9 Series Sensor free entry, non-invasive air bubble detection sensors incorporate Introtek’s pulse ultrasonic technology into an integral package. The requirement for remote electronics is eliminated, which further increases immunity to EMI / RFI interference, while operating with fail-safe logic. The BD8 / BD9 series sensors allow for up to 24 volt power input requirements and where a mounting base may be desired. 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.
