Description

Application

The Prosonic FDU90 ultrasonic sensor provides continuous, non-contact, and maintenance-free level measurement for a wide range of materials including liquids, pastes, sludges, and powdery to coarse bulk materials. It is also ideal for flow measurement in open channels and weirs. The sensor's performance is unaffected by factors such as dielectric constant, density, or humidity, and it resists build-up thanks to its self-cleaning feature. Suitable for use in explosion-hazardous environments, the sensor offers a maximum measuring range of 3m (9.8ft) for liquids and 1.2m (3.9ft) for solids.

This sensor is typically employed for continuous level monitoring of fluids and bulk materials in silos, conveyor belts, stockpiles, and crushers, as well as for flow measurements in open channels and weirs, especially where low structural heights are involved.

  • Process Connection: Thread

  • Temperature Range: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)

  • Pressure Range: +0.7 to +4bar (+10 to +58psi)

  • Maximum Measuring Range: 3m (9.8ft) for liquids, 1.2m (3.9ft) for solids

  • Blocking Distance: 0.07m (0.23ft)

  • Explosion Protection: Certified for international standards

 


Benefits

  • Features an integrated temperature sensor for Time-of-Flight correction, ensuring precise measurements even with temperature fluctuations.

  • The sensor's hermetically welded PVDF construction provides exceptional chemical resistance.

  • Designed for harsh environments with the option for separate installation from the transmitter (up to 300m).

  • Minimizes build-up formation due to its self-cleaning properties.

  • Simplified commissioning with integrated automatic sensor detection for FMU90/FMU95 transmitters.

  • Resistant to weather and flooding (IP 68).

  • Optional integrated heating prevents ice build-up on the sensor, ensuring reliable measurements in cold conditions.
