Hawk Measurement streamlines calibration for level measurement

Posted on 24 May 2012

hawk.jpgTo help simplify the calibration of its 4th generation acoustic technology on the Sultan Acoustic Wave Level, Hawk Measurement has added a new firmware program, making start-up a much simpler process. This will allow for up to 22 different applications in mining as diverse as ROM bins, process slurry sumps, primary crushers, stockpile monitoring and positioning that can start up with a minimum of adjustments.

Converting the AWR234SUXXXX Remote Sultan transmitter from a 3-4 wire AC/DC supply to a 2 wire loop powered 24v DC supply sometimes meant calibration changes to the transducer, but this is now automatically calibrated with the new firmware upgrade. Jack Evans, President of Hawk, America, stated “We have known for some time, that simplifying calibration will mean better customer acceptance. This firmware gives new life to a product that is still the most powerful and flexible Acoustic Transmitter in the market.”
