Ultrasonic sensor features plug-and-play compatibility

The K50U reliably detects distance from target to sensor in ranges between 300mm (11.8”) up to 3m (118”), and features built-in temperature compensation for accurate measurements. The sensor features a standard 1.25”NPT connection and can be combined with the optional BWA-BK-006 bracket and Q45U Wireless Node (sold separately) for an easy-to-mount, IEC IP67, NEMA 6P level monitoring solution.  

Wireless Product Manager at Banner Engineering Tim Hazelton said: “Paired with our Q45U wireless node, the K50U delivers a turnkey, single-sensor remote monitoring solution that is both rugged and affordable. It can also function as a component within a much larger, more complex network with Banner’s many wireless sensors and nodes.”

Hazelton added: “Customers who also purchase our DXM100 programmable controllers can take full advantage of this solution, and set high-high, high, low, and low-low alarms.”

Also the sensor is an ideal solution for a range of applications beyond liquid or chemical tank level monitoring, such as pallet presence sensing or monitoring dry material level in a hopper.

The K50U is available in two models, with a 1-wire serial interface or a model that functions as a Modbus slave via RS-485. Compatible with a wide range of Banner Engineering wireless nodes, the K50U provides reliable sensing for a single sensor application or integrated as part of a multiple sensor, long distance multi-hop network.
