Non-Contact Level Sensors with AirWire?LoRa

Senix ToughSonic? non-contact ultrasonic level sensors

The Senix? ultrasonic level (and distance) sensors measure through the air using ultrasonic sound waves. They provide fast, reliable non-contact measurements at distances up to 50 feet (15.2 meters). Target material distance is measured without contacting or damaging the material or target object. Corrosion, scaling, coating and other contact-related wear is avoided and the purity of the target material is maintained. Non-contact sensors last longer and require less maintenance.

Key Applications

These rugged, compact ultrasonic sensors inspired the “ToughSonic” name. They are our flagship products with heavy-duty electronics epoxy potted into type 316 stainless steel housings, with permanently attached cables and ruggedized piezoelectric transducers. ToughSonic sensors are found on remote monitoring stations from the Australian outback to Alaskan oil fields. They are installed on heavy construction and farm equipment and in some of the harshest factory environments.?When an ordinary sensor just won’t do, you need a ToughSonic.

Tank Level Monitoring

Senix non-contact ToughSonic? ultrasonic sensors offer cost-effective, continuous tank level monitoring and measurements for small and large tanks. They install at the top of the tank, are not immersed in the liquid, and can measure both benign and chemical liquids.

• Non-contact – nothing touches the liquid
• Easy to install at the top of the tank into standard fittings
• Use indoors or outside, in metal or plastic tanks
• Connects to other industrial equipment
• Measures a wide variety of liquids and liquid environments
• Accessories to display, alarm and control liquid levels
• AirWire Wireless option sends tank levels to a LAN or the cloud
• MRO & OEM tank setup duplication without re-calibration

Applications:

• Inventory
• Batch control
• Low and high level alarms
• Empty, fill or maintain level
• Pump & valve control

Agriculture & Farming

Senix Ultrasonic Distance and Level sensors, AirWire LoRa wireless technology and a host of additional accessories can help improve many aspects of Agricultural and Farming Applications. Senix Ultrasonic sensors have a wide range of uses including water and liquid level monitoring to all types of distance and object detection. Ultrasonic sensor technology is extremely versatile and ideal to determine level measurements of ponds, rivers, and bodies of water, and in tanks, silos and other type of containers.?Senix ultrasonic sensors also assist in fertilizer application, and help monitor crops, and can also be utilized in a variety of vehicle applications in agriculture, construction, and municipality vehicles including improving safety by alerting operators of obstacles and moving vehicles in their immediate surroundings. The ruggedness of Senix ToughSonic ultrasonic Distance and Level sensors to temperature, shock, and vibration makes them extremely well suited suitable for outdoor applications.

• Non-contact – nothing touches the liquid
• Easy to install. ToughSonic sensor are threaded and a number of mounting options are also available
• Use indoors or outside
• Connects to other industrial equipment
• Measures a wide variety of liquids and liquid environments
• Accessories to display, alarm and control liquid levels
• Wireless option sends tank levels to a LAN or the cloud
• SenixVIEW software provide easy setup duplication without re-calibration

Applications:

• Open Channel Flow
• Streams, Rivers, Pond
• Flumes, Weirs and Channels
• Forestry Harvesters and Equipment
• Agricultural Planters, Fertilizers, and Sprayers
• Plant Height and Crop Growth Monitoring
• Tank, Silo, and Container Monitoring
• Wastewater
• Flood Monitoring

Water Level Monitoring

Senix ToughSonic? Ultrasonic Transmitters perform water monitoring with “non-contact” technology that looks down at the water surface from above. These sensors are used in open air and in stilling tubes that constrain the sound and improve performance. They are easy to use and reliable, and thousands are installed in applications around the world for irrigation, stream monitoring, flood and tsunami warnings, sea level monitoring, and tank level monitoring

Applications:

• Irrigation
• Flood Monitoring
• Open Channel Flow
• Sea Level Monitoring
• Streams, Rivers, Ponds
• Wastewater

Wireless Level Monitoring with AirWire? LoRa

Need to know how much diesel fuel is in the tank, how high the water level is under the bridge, or whether the chicken feed will last longer than the chickens??Senix ToughSonic Level Sensors can now get these answers to your desk or mobile device quickly, safely and inexpensively using the emerging LoRa spread-spectrum wireless technology.

At each monitored site a Level Transmitter and attached non-contact Level Sensor measure the distance down to the monitored liquid or material. That distance is periodically transferred wirelessly to a Receiver-Gateway that can serve many purposes, such as presenting the level(s)?in a web page on a Local Area Network (LAN), sending email alerts for high or low level conditions, and/or transferring the data to an external application either locally or on the cloud. Level can be displayed simply as height or converted to volume (gallons, liters, etc.).

Functionality

• Collect level data from monitor sites and put it to use
• Display and alert level or volume conditions
• Use in buildings or outdoors
• Real-time measurements
• 50,000-100,000 measurements on D-cell batteries
• Measure liquids up to 50-feet away with ToughSonic sensors

Cost Savings

• Less expensive than running conduit inside buildings
• No wiring or power needed at monitored sites
• No cellular connect charges within the LoRa network
• Reduce labor and increase safety with fewer site visits
