The FDU90 ultrasonic sensor is suitable for continuous, non-contact level measurement of liquids and pastes, is maintenance-free and can also be used for flow measurement in open channels and measuring weirs. Measured values are unaffected by dielectric constant, density or humidity, and the sensor self-cleaning function eliminates the influence of medium adhesion on measurement. Suitable for explosive hazardous areas; maximum measuring range: liquids 3m.
Advantages
Built-in temperature sensor for time-of-flight calibration; precise measurement even with temperature changes
Hermetically welded PVDF sensor for the highest level of corrosion-resistant measurement applications
Suitable for harsh climatic conditions; sensor and transmitter can be installed separately with a maximum distance of 300m
Sensor self-cleaning function reduces adhesion formation
Built-in automatic sensor detection for convenient commissioning with the FMU90/FMU95 transmitter
Degree of protection IP68
Sensor with heating function (optional) prevents icing and ensures reliable measured values
Areas of application
Suitable for continuous, non-contact level measurement of liquids and pastes; flow measurement in open channels and measuring weirs. Maximum measuring range: liquids 3m (9.8ft).
