Distance & Level
Measurement
sensors and
SenixVIEW software put the power of ultrasonics
in your hands. Quickly adjust,
optimize, save and clone your
setups without calibration!
These sensors are housed in
a single small potted enclosure
for environmental durability and
long life. They mount at a distance
from a liquid or solid material and
measure distance to the surface.
Sensor outputs respond to that
measured distance.
Applications exist in many
industries, and include pump
control, bulk inventory, high/low
level alarms, river level for flood
detection and much more.
Features
Distance Measurements
• Long range, short dead band
• Continuous and point level
• Water or non-caustic materials
• Adjustable by computer (PC)
software, locally or remotely
• Narrow beam with adjustments
to optimize performance
Up to 50-ft. (15.2 m) maximum range in IP68 rated
316 stainless or PVC housing

PC Setup Power!
Use SenixVIEW software (see
separate data sheet) to select
and adjust all interfaces, timing
parameters, filters and modes.
Then view, analyze or log data to
optimize your application.

Model Options
Both stainless and PVC housings
are offered for flexibility. All have
multiple analog and switch outputs plus a serial data interface
for PC configuration or other data
communications (serial data only
models are also available).

Packaging & Performance
• Survives submersion
• Temperature compensation for
improved accuracy
• Short & overload protected I/O
• Adjustable sensitivity
• Rear status indicators (3)
Free Functionality using adjustable interface features like
switch hysteresis and time
delays to build complete solutions such as pump or material
flow controllers. Save cost by
eliminating PLCs, delay circuits
and time delay relays!

Flexible configuration means
fewer parts to stock and quick
duplication! Application setups
can be stored on your PC and
later recalled. Using a single
inventory part you can quickly
clone replacement sensors for
any number of applications with
re-calibration!
