SonicSens

Ultrasonic Level Sensing

FCS’s ultrasonic level or flow sensor, SonicSens is ideal for remote water level monitoring applications. The sensor’s very low power consumption enables it to be used in battery powered applications with a 5 year battery life, reducing the need for expensive site visits. The system can be supplied in 4 versions to suit installation preference and network coverage.

• Non ATEX cable linked.
• ATEX cable linked with Barrier box.
• ATEX radio linked to logger outside the ATEX area.
• Sensor and logger all ATEX rated so all can be installed below ground.

The ultrasonic sensor connects to a MultiLog data logger supplied with local or telemetry communications. Standard telephone line (PSTN) or cellular (GSM/GPRS) versions can be configured to provide data and alarms to an office PC or mobile phone/pager for investigation and action.

Typical Applications

Open Channel Flow or Level Monitoring
The non contacting ultrasonic sensor is ideal for monitoring liquid level in rivers and open channels, including many overflow applications.

Combined Sewer Overflow Monitoring
CSO overflow monitoring is required by European legislation. Intrinsically Safe systems are available for CSO monitoring applications and other Hazardous Areas with the risk of inflammable gases.

Tank Level Monitoring
The ultrasonic sensor can be easily mounted to monitor liquid tank level. The cellular telemetry version can be monitored from the office and easily relocated to another site for survey type applications.

Control Systems
The ultrasonic sensor can be used to control other process plant upstream at great distances using a standard telephone line or cellular phone networks.
