Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensors

Rugged, compact BinMaster ToughSonic® ultrasonic level and distance sensors use non-contact technology to measure liquid levels and distances through the air using ultrasonic sound waves. They provide fast, reliable non-contact measurements at distances up to 50 feet (15.2 meters).

ToughSonic sensors measure liquid levels in open or closed tanks and in outdoor environments. Applications include inventory management, batch control, and high or low alerts. They are also used for distance ranging, flood monitoring, object detection, roll diameter, and general industrial automation.

How Ultrasonic Works

ToughSonic 100 Series

Made in the USA, The TS-100 features durable construction with heavy-duty electronics epoxy potted into type 316 stainless steel housings. TS-100 series sensors feature permanently attached cables and ruggedized piezoelectric transducers.

They are used for non-contact liquid level measurement in tanks and mixers in processing operations and excel in harsh factory environments. In environmental applications, they are used to monitor and control water and non-volatile liquid levels in storage tanks and open-air conditions.

The TS-100 protects expensive assets and enhances safety when used for distance monitoring in heavy mining, aggregate, and farm equipment applications. They can measure distances and detect objects on conveyor belts and production lines.

ToughSonic 200 Series

The TS-200 series ultrasonic sensor housings are resistant to deterioration from chemical exposure. Heavy-duty electronics are epoxy-potted into a chemical-resistant plastic housing to physically isolate the transducer and electronics from the target material.

TS-200 series sensor housings are made of chemical-resistant polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which is commercially known as Kynar. This is a preferred housing material for ultrasonic sensors since it is highly resistant to various chemicals.

These rugged, compact ultrasonic level sensors measure a wide variety of liquids including tanks in the plastics, wood products, paper, agriculture, and food processing industries. TS-200 series sensors are used both indoors and out, and in harsh processing environments

Ultrasonic Features

Non-Contact Technology

Liquid level measurement and target material distances are measured without contaminating, contacting, or damaging the tank contents, stored materials, or a target object.

Precise Target Ranging

With ToughSonics, the target distance is measured rather than just the presence or proximity. This benefits operations by detecting the precise location identification of objects.

Distance Proportional Output

The output value directly corresponds to the measured distance, meaning that as the distance increases or decreases, the output signal proportionally changes in the same direction.

High Resolution

The sensors detect very small changes in distance, making ToughSonic suitable for applications where minute variations in position or distance must be accurately identified.

Unaffected by Optical Characteristics

ToughSonic sensors are unaffected by ambient light, color, transparency, shine, or reflectivity because they “see” or detect objects by reflecting sound waves, not light.

Rugged Construction

Sensors feature solid-state electronics, rugged piezoelectric transducers, and full epoxy potting. Housing materials include 316 stainless steel and chemically resistant Kynar ®.
