Product Specification

ToughSonic REMOTE 50 Level Sensor
Level & Distance Data Collection for Remote Monitoring

The ToughSonic REMOTE 50 is a remote liquid level sensor with a maximum range of 50 feet (15.2 meters). This digital sensor is designed for accuracyUltrasonic sensor stainless steel housing and long-term durability in remote monitoring applications. With a stainless steel housing, full epoxy potting and IP68 rating, it operates in the harshest climates. It comes equipped with Senix Lightning Guard, a system that protects both power and communications circuits from repeated electrical transients of up to 7 kilovolts.  The ToughSonic REMOTE 50 uses up to 20% less energy than the ToughSonic 50. It is fully configurable with SenixVIEW software. This sensor is mounted on bridges, piers and tanks all over the world in mission-critical remote level monitoring applications.

ToughSonic ultrasonic sensors are built Tough with:
• Type 316 stainless steel housing.
• Sealed epoxy potting for wet and dirty applications.
• Ruggedized piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, potted in place.
• Surge protection 75% stronger than IEC-61000-4-5.
• UV resistant, potted-in, 4-wire cable.

ToughSonic ultrasonic sensors are built Smart with:
• SenixVIEW configuration and analysis software controls more than 60 performance parameters and dozens of viewing, analysis and maintenance options.
• Addressable Modbus RTU.
• ASCII or phased high-speed, multi-sensor data collection for special applications.
