Gems Sensors & Controls unveils the UCL-520 ultrasonic level sensor

Gems Sensors & Controls (Gems) has launched the UCL-520 Series of ultrasonic level sensors. The UCL-520 Series is suitable for non-contact applications such as industrial water treatment, wastewater management, chemical storage as well as other challenging fluid applications.

The UCL-520 is a two-wire, ultrasonic transmitter for measurements up to 26.2 feet (eight meters) and is built with a PVDF transducer for ultra pure, corrosive or waste liquids. The accurate sensor is easy to install within limited space applications, and the minimum eight-inch dead band allows for maximum fill of media. The UCL-520 offers a three-inch minimum beam width for restricted space applications, and the selectable display indicates level in air gap or liquid height. The UCL-520 is push button calibrated with a six-segment LCD display and is broadly selected for corrosive media including atmospheric bulk storage, day tank and waste sump applications.
