Ultrasonic Level Measurement Goes Truly Wireless!

The demand for wireless communication in the field of sensors and measurement devices is forever increasing, with technology development operating nonstop. The problem most consumers currently face however is that products which claim to be wireless, commonly are not truly wireless. Although the systems on the market can provide wireless communications, they are not able to operate without the need for power. 
The LNU ultrasonic level sensor from Bell Flow Systems tackles this problem with its truly wireless design. The sensor itself contains a Lithium battery supply which means the user can simply install the sensor in their application without the need to connect a power or a communications cable to the device. Configuration of the device is simple, using a wireless dongle called a Wiji the user can connect to their device via a laptop and view live level data, stored level data from the unit’s internal data logger and / or make changes to the sensor configuration. If operating multiple LNU sensors the user can also connect to each device individually from a central location.
Data from the LNU can also be collected using a Wiji radio access point. This device will collect information from the LNU on a timed basis and report the information via a RS-485 signal to a PLC or data collection system. Alternatively if the site is remote, data can be collected by the device and transmit via a GSM / GPRS signal to our web based data portal.

As well as level, the LNU also features integrated flow rate and volume conversions so that you do not need to carry out secondary calculations to derive these values.

Typical applications for the LNU include water/waste water, CSO monitoring, remote level, flow volume monitoring solutions, flood warning systems and tank level monitoring. Contact Bell Flow Systems for more information on the LNU range 0800 027 7786.

Badger Meter Vision 3000 Turbine Meter

Image
WRAS approved Vision Turbine Meter 3000 Badger Meters Vision series of turbine flow meters have been examined, tested and found to comply with the requirements of The Water Regulations Advisory Scheme which is also known as WRAS. The low cost turbine meters from the Vision series are well known on the market. A new addition to the series is the Vision 3000. The Vision 3000 is a good choice for applications ranging from 2 to 60 l/min. It is great for the exact measurement of small quantities of liquid as well as measuring low flow rates. The Vision 3000 turbine flow meter is entirely made out of Trogamid which is low-priced, transparent and ultra-light. All materials used are compliant with the requirements of the drinking water approval.The product can be used with a variety of liquids such as water, fuels, ink and weak acids and is resistant to ethanol and methanol. The meter has an accuracy of ±3% of actual flow. The Vision 3000 is available in DN12 in G 3/4" and N...
