Self Contained Ultrasonic Sensor suitable for non-contact
measurements of level, volume, proximity,
distance and snow depth
APPLICATIONS
Non-contact level measurement
Tank level measurement
Proximity/distance measuring
Snow depth sensor
Ultrasonic technology, a non-contact method of detecting level, presence/absence, volume, proximity & distance measurements is ideal for a variety of applications
Until recently, many factors that influence the speed of sound created inaccurate readings. Now with low cost microprocessor technology, these variables (such as temperature change) can be factored into the equation and eliminated.
The sensors use internal temperature compensation to offset the effects of changes & can compensate for other variables, such as wave action, agitators, and humidity. Sensor adjustments are made via a computer USB interface using an RST module
