Product catalog summary

Overview
Optech is a leader in laser-based rangefinding instruments, offering solutions for topographic mapping, hydrographic applications, laser imaging, and industrial rangefinders. Their products are designed for non-contact, precise measurements in various industrial settings.

Product Series
Sentinel Series: Non-intrusive level monitors for inventory control, effective up to 150 meters.
Sentry Series: Short-range laser technology for level monitoring and object positioning, up to 25 meters.
Watchman Series: Long-range object positioners, effective up to 250 meters or 1,500 meters with reflectors.

Laser Technology Advantages
Optech's laser rangefinders provide precise, reliable, and fast measurements with high update rates. They feature "last-pulse logic" and internal windowing software to filter false returns.

Technical Specifications

Rapid measurements: Up to 15 readings per second.
Accuracy: 2-4 cm depending on the model.
Non-contact measurements unaffected by dust, temperature, or vibration.
Factory-calibrated and easy to set up with low maintenance.
Compatible with RS-232C, RS-422, and analog outputs.

Applications
Monitoring Liquids: Suitable for chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries, capable of monitoring turbulent or agitated slurries and detecting foam layers.
Monitoring Solids: Effective for measuring stockpiles, bins, and silos, with superior dust penetration and the ability to measure reflective and non-reflective surfaces.
Position Monitoring: Tracks bulk material-handling equipment and moving industrial objects accurately in challenging environments.

Environmental and Safety Features

Operating temperature range: -40°C to 150°C.
Explosion-proof enclosures with CSA, CE, and FM approvals.
Class 1 eyesafe laser technology.

Accessories and Options
