BinMaster Ultrasonic Transmitter

The BinMaster Ultrasonic Transmitter (SMARTSONIC) provides continuous non-contact level measurement by transmitting an ultrasonic pulse of pressurized air to the surface of the material in a vessel. The pulse reflects off the material and returns to the sensor in the form of an echo that is received by a microphone. SMARTSONIC is ideal for most liquids, from simple substances like water to more challenging applications such as oils and syrups. This sensor automatically adjusts power and receiver sensitivity to any distance and reflecting surface and has a low incidence of false echoes (common among competitive ultrasonic products).
