The measuring box of the size 300x150x200 mm, made from stainless steel contains following electronic elements (Fig. 1):

• Ultrasonic card OPKUD 01/100 modified for this system;
• WDMS Interface - special interface, providing connection between OPKUD card and RS485 Interface, containing microcontroler for signal analysis;
• RS 485 Interface KSR-01L;
• Sender/Receiver NAD_200 for 200kHz water depth measurement transducers (produces short bursts with about 350Vp-p, with integrated switch and 33dB receiving amplifier);
• Pulser&Receiver for reference channel (3MHz) - generates short pulses.
• Power supplyConverter RS232/RS485 for the connection between the system and computer

Characteristic of the system


This system can be used as precise sonar or for many other purposes, where autonomic ultrasonic measurements are necessary. Special versions of this device can be made. Many of such devices can be connected to the network (using RS485 interface).

Software Package

The software included can analyze automatically reflected signals, measure the time of flight and compensate environmental changes.

Optional it is possible to make software versions for the special needs of the user.
