Principle of Operation
The SULTAN Positioning and Anti-Collision Master which is generally mounted on the moving machinery, emits a high powered acoustic wave transmit pulse. The pulse is detected by a Slave transducer mounted on a fixed position which immediately emits a pulse back to the Master on the moving machinery.
The Master transmitter calculates transit times and provides a 4-20mA output proportional to the position of the moving machinery in relation to the Slaves fixed position.
There is NO wiring requirement between the Master and Slave transducers, which allows for easy retrofit to existing shuttle conveyors, cranes, stackers, reclaimers, etc. Dust, background noise, wet atmosphere, high winds can be compensated for by proper selection of operating frequency of the transducer.
