A level sensor continuously measures the fill level of a tank and converts this signal into a digital value, either displayed locally or transmitted wirelessly to a monitoring platform.
Types of level sensors
- ultrasonic sensors — contactless, low maintenance
- radar sensors — highly accurate, even with steam or dust
- pressure sensors — measure hydrostatic pressure
- conductivity sensors — often used as a point-level switch
From sensor to cloud dashboard
The measured value is sent via a communication unit to a cloud platform such as SiteInfo, so you can check the tank level online.
Level sensors in ATEX environments
In explosive atmospheres, explosion-proof, ATEX-approved level sensors are required, offering the same accuracy as standard sensors.
Frequently Asked Question
Which level sensor is best suited for my tank?
That depends on the product, the environment (Ex or non-Ex) and the required accuracy. SECU-TECH is happy to advise.
