Senix ToughSonic - Model 100.50 Range, 1.5 Inch NPT -Compact Ultrasonic Sensors
ToughSonic®-100.50 ultrasonic sensors are ideal for short-to-medium-range liquid level or distance measurements, with a range of up to 50 ft. For stainless-steel TS-100.50 sensors, choose from two mounting options—1.5 in. NPT or 2.3 in. clamp—to fit your installation.These rugged, compact ultrasonic sensors live up to the “ToughSonic” name. Versatile liquid level sensors feature heavy-duty electronics that are epoxy potted into 316 stainless steel housings.
The TS-100 features permanently attached cables and rugged piezoelectric transducers. Use the TS-100 to monitor & control water and benign liquid levels, measure distances, or detect objects.
