Remote integration context

Representative site context. Sensors, interfaces, enclosure, power and mounting are confirmed against the actual project before quotation.

Check the echo path before selecting ultrasonic level measurement

The reviewed specification supports an integrated non-contact transmitter, but site conditions determine whether the echo will remain stable.

  • Choose a 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 m configuration. The blind zone and threaded process connection change with the selected range.
  • Mount the sensor axis perpendicular to the liquid surface and keep pipes, braces, ribs, ladders and mixing equipment outside the acoustic beam.
  • Foam, bubbles, mist, steam, turbulence and strong temperature gradients can weaken or distort the return echo.

Continue product selection

Compare adjacent hardware families for the same monitoring path. The final combination is checked against the project I/O, protocol, power and enclosure requirements.

How to choose

  • Select a 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 m range from the mounting height and maximum liquid level, then keep the configured blind zone above the highest surface.
  • Mount the sensor perpendicular to the liquid surface and keep the acoustic beam clear of pipes, braces, ladders, ribs and mixing equipment.
  • Provide foam, bubbles, mist, steam, turbulence, condensation, direct-sun and temperature-change conditions so ultrasonic suitability can be checked.
  • Choose 2-wire or 4-wire 4-20 mA, or 4-wire RS485 Modbus RTU, together with the compatible power and upstream PLC, RTU or gateway.

Applications

Representative water-monitoring site with field instruments, an RTU enclosure and tank infrastructure
Representative water-site context. Instruments, enclosure, power and mounting are selected for the actual tank, well, reservoir or pump station.

Use this integrated transmitter when liquid level can be measured from above without contact and the sensor has a clear acoustic path to the surface. The range, blind zone, process connection, output and power option are selected together. Foam, heavy vapour, turbulence, internal structures or strong temperature gradients must be reviewed before ultrasonic measurement is released for the site.

  • Remote tank and reservoir level monitoring with a clear liquid surface
  • Water-storage, irrigation and well-head installations where top mounting is practical
  • Open-channel or river-level projects after the mounting geometry and echo path are reviewed
  • PLC, SCADA or telemetry projects using 4-20 mA or RS485 Modbus RTU

Frequently asked questions

Which measuring ranges are available for this ultrasonic level transmitter?

The reviewed configurations are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 m. The blind zone, probe size and threaded process connection depend on the selected range, so the mounting height and maximum liquid level are confirmed before quotation.

Which outputs and power options are supported?

The reviewed output options are 2-wire 4-20 mA, 4-wire 4-20 mA and 4-wire RS485 Modbus RTU. The reviewed supply options are 24 VDC or 220 VAC, with 12 VDC available only on the RS485 configuration. The ordered combination is confirmed in the quotation.

When is ultrasonic level measurement a poor fit?

Heavy foam, bubbles, steam, mist, turbulent surfaces, internal obstructions or a mounting angle that is not perpendicular can produce weak or false echoes. Share the tank geometry and surface conditions so ultrasonic, radar or hydrostatic measurement can be compared before selection.

What should I provide when requesting a quote for the Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor?

Mounting height, maximum liquid level and required measuring range; Tank / channel dimensions, medium and process connection; Foam, bubbles, vapour, turbulence, temperature change and internal obstructions; Required 4-20 mA or RS485 Modbus RTU output and connected PLC / RTU / gateway

Where can I compare available model options?

Open the Water & Utilities Hardware Catalog linked on this page. It lists audited SG-coded selections; the ordered configuration is confirmed in the quotation.

Will it work with my existing system?

Compatibility is reviewed against your field signals, protocols and upstream platform. Typical pairings include PLC, RTU or data-acquisition inputs accepting 4-20 mA, RS485 Modbus RTU masters on the selected communication configuration, Tank, reservoir, well-head and open-channel mounting arrangements reviewed for a clear acoustic path.
