Product catalog summary
Overview: The dBi Modbus (dBi-M) series are advanced, low-power ultrasonic level sensors designed for non-contact level measurement. They integrate Modbus communication for efficient data transmission and are suitable for challenging applications with a measurement range of 125 mm to 15 m.
Key Features:
  • Utilizes Pulsar Measurement’s DATEM echo processing for accurate measurements.
  • IP68 design allows for full submersion, ideal for environments prone to flooding.
  • Compatible with various external wireless telemetry devices using open protocol Modbus communications.
  • Ultra-low power consumption extends deployment time and reduces maintenance needs.
Applications: Suitable for event duration management, combined sewer overflows, remote level monitoring, tank level monitoring, and volume measurement.
Design and Installation:
  • Available in multiple formats with options for flanged or threaded connections, PTFE coating, foam face, and submergence shields.
  • Easy integration into existing networks, supporting up to 120 transducers with a single controller.
  • Calibration via third-party Modbus RTU communications or Pulsar Measurement software.
Technical Specifications:
  • Transducer models: dBi-M3, dBi-M6, dBi-M10, dBi-M15 with varying dimensions, weight, and measurement ranges.
  • Beam angle: <10° for most models, <8° for dBi-M15.
  • Accuracy and resolution vary by model, with the highest accuracy at 2 mm.
  • Environmental protection: IP68 / NEMA 6P, suitable for extreme temperatures (-40 °C to +80 °C).
  • Approvals: CE, IECEx, UKEx, ATEX for various hazardous zones.
  • Power requirements: 5-15 V DC with average current consumption of 14 mA.

dBi MODBUS INTELLIGENT TRANSDUCERS-1

dBi MODBUS INTELLIGENT TRANSDUCERS Combining the highest intelligence with minimal complexity in a non-contact level transmitter. Setting new standards in communications, offering low-power ultrasonic level measurement with capabilities superior to traditional transducers. The dBi Modbus (dBi-M) series of transducers are the ultimate, low-power, ultrasonic level sensors that benefit from Modbus communication. The series features Pulsar Measurement’s world-leading DATEM echo processing for accurate and reliable measurement in the most challenging applications, with a measurement range of 125 mm to 15 m (4.9 in to 49.2 ft) across multiple sensors. The dBi-M allows users to transmit measurement and calibration data digitally between the sensor and a PLC, SCADA, or data logger. Integrating the dBi-M into your existing network is easy and cost-effective. The dBi-M is ready for the most challenging remote applications. The IP68 design enables the unit to be fully submerged, perfect for applications where flooding or surcharging can occur. The dBi-M can be connected to a variety of external wireless telemetry devices featuring open protocol Modbus communications. The ultra-low power consumption of the dBi-M will give you the longest THE RIGHT SENSOR FOR • Event Duration • Tank Level Management • Combined Sewer Overflows • Remote Level deployment time possible, providing data insights for extended periods of time while reducing the need to maintain your data collection system. The dBi-M is a greener solution to remote network monitoring and discharge point monitoring. Designed to fit low-power and low-overhead needs for remote installations, users are able to multidrop up to 120 dBi-M transducers with just a single controller. The open protocol allows for the dBi-M to connect to any Modbus-enabled device, saving thousands on installation costs and labor.
