The material can be any substance able to reflect the major portion of a low magnitude acoustic pulse of sound. This equipment is 4 to 20 ma loop powered and therefore has the inherent constraint of being powered by the first 4 ma of the input current. The so-called output current is the controlled regulation of input current within the limits of 4 ma and 20 ma. The monitoring of current proportional to measured distance is usually by sensing the potential difference across a stable resistor connected in series with any one point in the current loop.
