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.
