Ultrasonic Level Sensor

The most common way to detect corrosive media levels in a tank or sump are to use an ultrasonic level sensor. The non-contact technology of our Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor prevent the instrument from contacting the media and therefore it will not corrode or become damaged due to the nature of the environment.

The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor works exceptionally well in conditions where the specific gravity is unknown to the operator. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor simply mounts into a 1” or 2” bulkhead fitting or flange and emits a frequency from the transducer, the frequency from the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor reflects off the media and delivers a 4-20mA output. Level Pro’s Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor is configured with push button calibration which makes the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor the most user friendly ultrasonic level sensor on the market. Applications for the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor can range from hydrochloric acid to rainwater. Many companies that manufacture rain water harvesting systems will utilize ultrasonic level sensors for detection the water level in the holding tanks.

The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor will allow the operator to control pumps and valves based on desired set points. For example, is the water level becomes too low the operator can create a set point so that the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor will turn on a pump. Then with the same Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor he can turn that pump off at a high level to prevent overflow. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor can also be used for continuous level measurement. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor has a 4-20mA output that can be configured to a range that the operator inputs. Throughout this range the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor will provide an exact level reading to a local display or controller.

The Ultrapro ultrasonic sensor is constructed completely out of PVDF for corrosive applications. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor can be provided with a 1”, 1.5” or 2” transducer to provide weaker or stronger ultrasonic signals. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor provides the operator with a green LED light indication showing them that the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor is getting a return signal.

The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor will also provide a yellow LED indication showing the operator that the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor has gone lost. No other ultrasonic level sensor will provide details that the sensor is in fact powered and working correctly besides the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor. One important factor to keep in mind when installing an Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor is to ensure that the ultrasonic level sensor is pointing straight. Any tilt or angle to the ultrasonic level sensor will not allow the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor to get a return signal.

This will cause the Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor to become lost. Ultrasonic level sensors are very common in the chemical distribution market. Many chemical distributors will provide the customer with a tank and an ultrasonic level sensor that will alert their drivers when the tank is becoming full. One thing that sets Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensors aside from the competition is the ease of programming. Many manufacturers sell their customers software or a USB programming fob. Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensors are programmable without any accessories. Simply power the ultrasonic level sensor up and set your 4-20mA range. The Ultrapro ultrasonic level sensor is plug and play, and the industry favourite.
