Ultrasonic Level Measurement Goes Truly Wireless!
The demand for wireless communication in the field of sensors
and measurement devices is forever increasing, with technology development
operating nonstop. The problem most consumers currently face however is that
products which claim to be wireless, commonly are not truly wireless. Although
the systems on the market can provide wireless communications, they are not
able to operate without the need for power.
The LNU ultrasonic level sensor from Bell Flow Systems
tackles this problem with its truly wireless design. The sensor itself contains
a Lithium battery supply which means the user can simply install the sensor in
their application without the need to connect a power or a communications cable
to the device. Configuration of the device is simple, using a wireless dongle
called a Wiji the user can connect to their device via a laptop and view live
level data, stored level data from the unit’s internal data logger and / or
make changes to the sensor configuration. If operating multiple LNU sensors the
user can also connect to each device individually from a central location.
Data from the LNU can also be collected using a Wiji radio
access point. This device will collect information from the LNU on a timed basis
and report the information via a RS-485 signal to a PLC or data collection
system. Alternatively if the site is remote, data can be collected by the
device and transmit via a GSM / GPRS signal to our web based data portal.
As well as level, the LNU also features integrated flow rate
and volume conversions so that you do not need to carry out secondary
calculations to derive these values.Typical applications for the LNU include water/waste water, CSO monitoring, remote level, flow volume monitoring solutions, flood warning systems and tank level monitoring. Contact Bell Flow Systems for more information on the LNU range 0800 027 7786.
