Ultrasonic Level Sensor Prosonic FDU95
- SKU:
- Ultrasonic Level Sensor Prosonic FDU95 series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Prosonic FDU95 ultrasonic sensor provides continuous, non-contact, and maintenance-free level measurement for a range of materials, from fine powders to coarse bulk solids. Its performance is not influenced by the dielectric constant, density, or humidity of the material, and its self-cleaning feature prevents build-up. It is suitable for use in explosion-hazardous environments with a maximum measuring range of 45 meters (148 feet) for solids.
Ideal for measuring levels in silos, conveyors, stockpiles, and crushers, particularly in areas with low structural heights.
- Process connection: Thread
- Temperature range: -40 to +80°C or up to +150°C (-40 to +176°F or +302°F)
- Pressure range: +0.7 to +1.5 bar (+10 to +22 psi)
- Maximum measuring range for solids: 45 meters (148 feet)
- Blocking distance: 0.7 meters at 80°C (2.3 feet), 0.9 meters at 150°C (2.9 feet)
- Certified for international explosion protection standards.
Benefits
- Features an integrated temperature sensor for Time-of-Flight correction, ensuring accurate readings even with temperature fluctuations.
- Ideal for harsh environments, with remote installation possible at distances of up to 300 meters from the transmitter.
- Reduces the formation of build-up thanks to its self-cleaning capability.
- Equipped with automatic sensor recognition for easy setup with FMU90/FMU95 transmitters.
- Weather-resistant and flood-proof (IP 68).
- Non-contact measurement reduces the need for maintenance.
- Complies with international Dust-Ex and Gas-Ex certifications for safe use in hazardous environments.
