VEGASON S61 Ultrasonic Level Transmitter

VEGASON S61 is an ultrasonic level sensor for liquids or bulk solids. Typical applications are the measurement of liquids in storage tanks or open basins. The sensor is also suitable for the detection of bulk solids in small vessels or open containers. The non-contact measuring principle is independent of product features and allows a setup without medium. As opposed to radar level transmitters – ultrasonic is not subject to conductivity (dk) level of the media and will reflect from any solid surface. (For this reason, however, ultrasonic level transmitters are not generally recommended for foaming applications).

VEGASON S61 is part of the Ultrasonic level family from VEGA. There are several other options in the range, contact Fluidic for details. VEGASON S61 is a low cost version, suitable for basic applications up to 5m measurement range. Another popular application is the monitoring of flow in open flumes or weirs. When using the sensor on bulk solids, the maximum measuring range is normally about 2.5m. This depends on the amount of dust generated and the consistency of the bulk solid. Please contact Fluidic for advice.
