The product
Magnetostrictive technology
A low-energy pulse, generated by the JUPITER electronics, travels the length of the magnetostrictive wire. A return signal is generated from the precise location where the magnetic field of a float intersects the wire. A timer precisely measures the elapsed time between the generation of the pulse and the return of the acoustic signal. Each cycle occurs ten times per second, providing real-time and highly accurate level data.

Operating principle
Jupiter operates on the Time-of-Flight principle. A low energy pulse, initiated by the transmitter electronics, travels the length of the magnetostrictive wire 10 times per second. A return signal is generated from the precise location where the magnetic field of a float intersects the wire, resulting in a mechanical wave response. A timer precisely measures the elapsed time from the generation of the pulse and the moment each return wave is captured by a piezoelectric sensor.
