Click2Contact

Banner Engineering has introduced its Sure Cross U-GAGE K50U ultrasonic sensor for use in wireless tank monitoring applications. Optimised for use with Banner’s Q45U Wireless Node, the pair provide a plug-and-play solution to monitor levels in mobile or remotely located tanks and totes.

The K50U detects distance from target to sensor in ranges between 300 mm and 3 m, and features built-in temperature compensation for accurate measurements. The sensor features a standard 1¼″ NPT connection and can be combined with the optional BWA-BK-006 bracket and Q45U Wireless Node (sold separately) for an easy-to-mount, IEC IP67, NEMA 6P level monitoring solution.

The sensor is also a suitable solution for a range of applications beyond liquid or chemical tank level monitoring, such as pallet presence sensing or monitoring dry material level in a hopper. The K50U is available in two models, with a 1-wire serial interface or a model that functions as a Modbus slave via RS485. Compatible with a wide range of Banner Engineering wireless nodes, the K50U provides reliable sensing for a single sensor application or integrated as part of a multiple sensor, long-distance multihop network.
