I-Series Ultrasonic Level Sensor
Brand: BM TechnologiesThe I-Series Sensors can be used to measure distance, level, empty space or volumes of liquids and bulk solids.
They are used wherever highly accurate level measurements are required. NIVUS I-Sensors are designed for use under poor ambient conditions.
Pollution and wear are prevented thanks to non-contacting measurement technology. Housed in one common and fully encapsulated enclosure, sensor and transmitter can be installed easily at low space requirements.
Pre-programmed measurement range steps make comprehensive programming works unnecessary.
The NIVUS I-Sensor can be connected directly to any PLC, NIVUS GPRS Data Loggers and other systems processing readings as soon as an active mA-input or Hart communication protocol is available.
