MODEL KUST ULTRASONIC SWITCH 

INSTALLATION / OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The KUST Series Ultrasonic Level Switches are ideal, low cost solutions for many liquid level control applications.  They 
operate in a wide variety of services. 
 

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 

Ultrasonic switches use piezoelectric crystals to transform electrical energy into mechanical motion (sound).  The 
Transmit Crystal sends a pulse of sound through the space between the crystals, to the Receive Crystal.  If the space is 
filled with air, gas, or vacuum, the Receive Crystal does not detect the sound pulse.  However, if the space is filled with 
liquid, 

any liquid

, the pulse is detected by the Receive Crystal, and the switch output changes.

INSTALLATION 

Unpack the switch carefully.  Inspect all units for damage.  Report any damage to carrier immediately.  Check the 
contents against the packing slip and purchase order. 
 
Kenco’s Ultrasonic Switches are manufactured to the highest quality standards.  These switches use electronic 
components that can be damaged by static electricity.  Make sure that you are properly grounded before starting 
installation.  Insure that all electrical connections are properly made, and that there are no “floating” connections.
