ToughSonic 30 Level & Distance Sensor
Windows PC or Button Setup, Waterproof, Multiple Outputs
TSPC sensors and SenixVIEW software put the power of ultrasonics in your hands yet retain the simplicity of push-button TEACH setup. You can quickly adjust,
optimize, save and clone your applications without calibration!
ToughSonic sensors contain a rugged transducer potted in a stainless steel housing for long life.
Outputs respond to measured distance and non-contact technology means nothing touches your materials.
Many applications exist in all industries.
Non-Contact Ultrasonic Distance & Level Measurement
TSPC-15S Series Ultrasonic Level & Distance Sensor Features
Distance Measurements
• Long range, short dead band
• Unaffected by optical factors like color and transparency
• PC or button “teachable” setup
• Narrow beam with adjustments to optimize performance
• Temperature compensated
Packaging & Performance
• Quick mounting
• Durable sealed housing for wet or dirty applications
