Description

The NU200E12TR-1 is a specialized ultrasonic transducer engineered for anemometry and airflow analysis. Its core is a piezoelectric ceramic element that vibrates at 200kHz, emitting and receiving ultrasonic pulses. The time-of-flight (ToF) of these pulses is directly influenced by wind speed, enabling precise measurement through established ultrasonic transit-time principles.

Constructed for industrial environments, the sensor’s robust design ensures stable performance across a range of operating conditions. Its high sensitivity and focused 30° beam angle make it effective for both ducted airflow monitoring and open-environment wind speed measurement, providing a reliable analog signal output for subsequent conditioning and data acquisition systems.

Key Features

  • High-Frequency Piezoelectric Core: Operates at 200kHz ±4% for precise, high-resolution wind speed detection.
  • Integrated Tx/Rx Design: Combines transmitter and receiver into one compact 12mm unit, simplifying system design.
  • High Signal Sensitivity: Echo sensitivity of ≥ -60dB ensures reliable operation even with attenuated return signals.
  • Optimized Beam Pattern: 30° ±2° beam angle (-3dB) provides a balance between directional focus and coverage area.
  • Robust Electrical Specs: Handles up to 500Vp-p input and features a 150pF ±20% capacitance for driver circuit compatibility.
  • Durable Industrial Build: Engineered for long-term reliability in environmental monitoring and automation applications.

Applications

  • Industrial and meteorological ultrasonic anemometers for wind speed and direction measurement.
  • HVAC system airflow monitoring and balancing in ducts and vents.
  • Environmental monitoring stations for weather data collection.
  • Process control in industrial settings requiring precise airflow or gas flow verification.
  • Research and development setups for fluid dynamics and aerodynamics studies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary application of the NU200E12TR-1 sensor?

The NU200E12TR-1 is specifically designed as an ultrasonic transducer for measuring wind speed and airflow. It operates on the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle, where the speed of sound waves is affected by air movement, making it ideal for anemometers, HVAC duct monitoring, and environmental weather stations.

What type of driver circuit is required for this 200kHz ultrasonic sensor?

This piezoelectric transducer requires a driver circuit capable of generating a high-voltage pulse (up to 500Vp-p) at its resonant frequency of 200kHz. A typical setup involves a MOSFET-based pulser or a specialized ultrasonic driver IC to excite the transducer, followed by a sensitive receiver amplifier chain to detect the returning echo signal for time-of-flight calculation.

Can this sensor be used for liquid flow or distance measurement?

While it is an ultrasonic transducer, the NU200E12TR-1 is optimized for wind speed sensing in air. Its frequency, beam angle, and sensitivity are tailored for this medium. For liquid flow or precise distance ranging, a transducer with different acoustic impedance matching, frequency, and packaging (often sealed) would be more appropriate.
