APG IRU-3430 Long Range 50 Feet Ultrasonic Level Sensor

Overview

The IRU series is APG’s line of general-purpose ultrasonic sensors. With a choice of operating ranges from just a few inches to as far as 50 feet, the IRU product line is designed to fit a wide range of industrial automation applications. Sensor adjustments, such as sensitivity and filtering options, are made by interfacing the sensor to a PC using an RST module and APG’s free Windows based programming software.

IRU sensors incorporate internal temperature compensation for increased accuracy under varying environmental conditions. The sensors are housed in PC/PET or UV resistant ABS to seal out moisture and resist a wide range of chemicals.

Description

The IRU-3430 series provides a non-contact method of detecting level, presence/absence detection, volume, proximity and distance. With built in technology to compensate for unpredictiable variables such as humidity, temperature and agitators the IRU-3430 is the right sensor for your application.

APG IRU-3430 Long Range 50 Feet Ultrasonic Level Sensor Increased power for better detection in difficult environments. APG Ultrasonic Level Sensor long-range sensor designed with flexibility in mind, this series features autosense software for quick, easy programming in a variety of applications. The IRU-3430 series provides a non-contact method of detecting level, presence/absence detection, volume, proximity, and distance.

With built-in technology to compensate for unpredictable variables such as humidity, temperature, and agitators the IRU-3430 is the right sensor for your application. The IRU-3430 series ultrasonic sensors use a larger, more powerful transducer for a 50 ft. sensing range.
