Senix ToughSonic 14 Ultrasonic Sensor
Product Information
The ToughSonic 14 ultrasonic sensor has a maximum range of 14 feet (4.3 meters). Like all ToughSonic sensors, it’s built for durability and ease of use in tough industrial environments. It’s fully submersible, corrosion resistant, shock resistant and all around tough. It’s also fully configurable with our SenixVIEW software. ToughSonic 14s include our famous “Teach” feature for push button configuration. This compact sensor is used around the world on remote liquid level systems, heavy equipment, factory automation applications and more. This is our most popular sensor.
For longer range applications or for chemically resistant sensors, please see our full line of ToughSonic and ToughSonic CHEM sensors.
