Ryko Ultrasonics

[ibspuds]

I know Ryko Ultrasonics are proprietary manufactured by APG. Has anyone been able to find alternative ultrasonic from other suppliers that work?

I didn't have time to look when I needed one but I did check Astromatic. This was one of the unusual occaisions where Ryko was cheaper. If you find 1 somewhere else be sure that the cord is long enough. I found photo eyes for half as much but the cord was 3 or 4 feet shorter. I bought it anyway.

In my experience with the ultrasonics it is very rare that they go bad. I usually find a bad wire in the cat track on the gantry or a wire in the boom that attaches to the wall. It is good to have a spare ultrasonic to hook up to see if the wires are bad somewhere before installing one. I always check in the boom where the wires comes in and goes out. That is usually the place for a rub through. THis week I found a bad wire in the cable that showed no signs of damage to the insulation but the wire was corroded anyway.

Why can't any other ultrasonics work in place of APG ultrasonics?
