Introducing ToughSonic® CHEM Sensors: Your Trusty Companion in Chemical Level Monitoring
When it comes to handling chemicals, you need a non-contact level sensor that’s as tough as they come. Our ToughSonic® CHEM Sensors combine unwavering durability with smart communication to provide you with a reliable solution for chemical level monitoring.
Tough. Construction
In the world of chemical tanks, toughness is synonymous with resistance to chemical deterioration. Our rugged and compact ultrasonic level sensors are the ultimate choice for measuring a wide array of liquids, from diesel fuel in rail locomotives to chemicals in the paper and food processing industries (please note, not suitable for high-temperature CIP operations). The heavy-duty electronics are expertly epoxy potted into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) housing. This housing acts as a fortress, physically isolating the transducer and electronics from the corrosive chemicals and ensuring the sensors can withstand exposure to both acids and bases.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Ideal for diesel fuel and chemical level applications in both closed and open tanks
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C
- Highly resistant to dust and water with IP68, NEMA-4X, NEMA-6P ratings
- User-adjustable using the included SenixVIEW software
Smart. Communications
ToughSonic® CHEM Sensors aren’t just robust; they’re intelligent too. Each sensor comes with serial data communications, making it easy to connect with SenixVIEW setup software or other equipment. Choose between RS-232 or RS-485 models with selectable Modbus or ASCII streaming protocols. Plus, with the ability to adjust baud rates and more using SenixVIEW software, customization is at your fingertips.
Multiple Outputs
Customize your sensor output to match your specific requirements:
- Analog voltage (0-10 VDC) for motor drives and similar equipment
- Two analog 4-20 mA current loops (sourcing & sinking) for process industry transmitter applications
- Two switches, each configurable as Sinking (NPN) or Sourcing (PNP)
Ultimate Flexibility
Take control of your sensor outputs with SenixVIEW configurability:
- Adjust analogs for slope, distance endpoints, analog value limits, and more
- Configure switches with hysteresis, window modes, and time delays
- Fine-tune responses for power-on initialization and loss of target echo
Local Connection
ToughSonic® CHEM Sensors offer seamless connectivity to PLCs, motor drives, displays, PCs, and more. Their universal design means one sensor can serve many applications, both indoors and out.
To LAN or Cloud
Wirelessly transmit liquid level data and access it on your LAN or in the cloud using our AirWire LoRa transmitter. It’s perfect for in-plant or outdoor applications, offering miles of coverage, low energy consumption, and high-low level alerts—all with no subscription service charges or the need for conduit or power.
Connected. SenixVIEW Software
Included at no additional cost, SenixVIEW runs on your Windows PC and connects to sensors via a serial data port. Our Setup Kits provide everything needed for USB port connection, including a power supply, sensor-PC interface, and cables. SenixVIEW isn’t required, but it adds powerful configuration, testing, and management capabilities.
