SonicSens 3

Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Level Sensor

The SonicSens 3 is an intrinsically safe level sensor with advanced signal processing capabilities.

Using ultrasonic technology, the SonicSens 3 avoids contact with the fluid, reduces contamination and maintenance requirements.

Energy efficient and compatible with multiple HWM telemetry data loggers, the SonicSens 3 is the ideal solution for remote and difficult installations.

Applications

The capabilities of the SonicSens 3 sensor make it the ideal sensor for many applications, including:

  • monitoring levels and overflow in sewer networks
  • flowmetry by open flumes (Parshall, Venturi...)
  • monitoring of reservoir levels and capacities
  • flow monitoring in natural environments (combined with a velocity sensor)

Deploying SonicSens 3 in complex, powerless sites is made possible by advanced "unwanted echo" filtering capabilities, as well as the ability to use long-lasting battery power.

Main benefits

  • Intelligent digital sensor, compatible with HWM telemetry data loggers, benefitting from the latest alarm, reporting and dial-in features
  • Filtering of unwanted echoes (ladder bars...)
  • Reliable: the data logger will send an alarm if measurements are not possible
  • Flexible: four self-adjustable measuring ranges available
  • Long battery life: up to 5 years for the most common applications
  • Simple installation: several predefined software options, including automatic level/rate conversions
  • Fully waterproof: the device is IP68 classified
  • Certification for use in potentially explosive areas (Class I/Zone 0)
