  • Durable nylon casing with chemically inert epoxy and Tefzel double-shielded connection wire.
  • i2C digital interface with +5V power, storing correction and calibration parameters in internal NVRAM.
  • Integrated temperature sensors and seamless integration with provided sample code and libraries.
Model Specifications:
  • Model20: Length 19.25”, Measurement Area 16.75”.
  • Model40: Length 36”, Measurement Area 33.5”.
  • Model60: Length 52.75”, Measurement Area 50.25”.
  • Model80: Length 69.5”, Measurement Area 67”.
Connection Details:
  • 4-wire connection with specific color coding for power, ground, and I2C bus.
  • Connector socket is female (1.83 mm), with custom options available.
  • Wire is 6ft, chemically inert, double-shielded, and UV protected.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Supply Voltage: +5V DC, with less than 15mA consumption in active mode.
  • Communication via 2-wire i2C Bus, supporting 100kHz - 400kHz timing.
Environmental and Mechanical Specifications:
  • Ingress Protection: IP68, with a storage temperature range of -40° to +125°C.
  • Constructed with a nylon sleeve and chemically inert epoxy resin.
  • Vertical sensing dimension with high accuracy and linearity.
Measurement and Accuracy:
  • Discrete measurement of 1.68 inches, with repetitive triggering accuracy of 0.1 inch.
  • Temperature range from -25°C to +120°C, with high measurement accuracy.
Environmental Compatibility:
  • Suitable for use with any conductive liquid, unaffected by debris or floating matter.
  • Compatible with various tank materials, including metal, plastic, and concrete.
Additional Information:
  • Each sensor includes a 'passport' recorded in NVRAM, detailing specifications and calibration data.
