Overview
ORCA Sonar System
Principle of Operation
The ORCA Sonar Series transducer emits a high powered low frequency sonar pulse, which is reflected
from the interface density selected. The reflected signal is processed using specially developed software
algorithms that eliminate unwanted densities and stratified layers, allowing measurement of Bed or RAS
levels. It can be calibrated to measure lighter densities such as the hindered / free settling layer & floc or one
of the outputs could be used for a “Clarity” output, similar to a basic turbidity transmitter measuring solids in
suspension. The unit can include two outputs to measure two different interfaces simultaneously.
Function
The ORCA Series Sonar, sludge blanket and interface controller, consists of a microprocessor based
transmitter, with easy menu driven programming via keypad, PC or 3G modem. The ORCA controller works >
together with appropriate sonar transducer and transducer cleaning mechanism.
<
Benefits
• Reduced maintenance with automatic cleaning mechanism warranty (no blades to replace)
• Reduced site operational costs significantly with improved process & extraction control
Features
• Dual independent analogue outputs to track two • Control room graphics of tanks and interfaces via
different interfaces, or clarity simultaneously, with GosHawkII
the one sonar sensor • Wide range of communications: Modbus, HART,
• Easy to use pre-set calibrations to track specific Foundation Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Profibus DP and
density interfaces, eg: floc / fluff layer, Bed Profibus PA
• Industrial scum cleaning mechanisms that do not • 3G remote support capability for calibration,
require maintenance commissioning or technical back-up
• 3 programmable relays.

Setup Procedure
ORCA Sonar System
When power is applied the unit will start up automatically. It will scroll through its boot diagnostics and display
the serial numbers, software version and model types for the amplifier and transducer
The unit will display its default operating screen depending on the App Type selected (default: Bed) on the
top line and a distance or % on the bottom line. The distance will be the programmed display mode (Default:
Level).
The unit will re-scan for the measurement whenever it is powered up.
