The Toughsonic Chem Ultrasonic Sensors are the more rugged version of the Toughsonic General purpose line, suitable for use in diesel fuels and chemical level applications in closed or open tanks. These durable, compact ultrasonic level sensors measure a wide variety of liquids from diesel fuel in rail locomotives to chemcial tanks in the paper and food processing industries. The Toughsonic Chem 10 sensor provides non-contact measurements at distances up to 10 feet (3m), with an optimum range of 4 to 80 inches (100mm to 2m). Heavy duty electronics are epoxy potted into a polyvinylidene fluroride (PVDF) housing that physically isolates the transducer and electronics from chemicals and can withstand exposure to both acids and bases.

The Chem sensors are used both indoors and out, and in some of the harshest factory environments. They are also suitable in liquid level applications where chemical resistance is not a neccesity.
Our WhitmanVIEW Sensor Software (DOWNLOAD) is included at no extra charge, runs on a windows PC and connects to sensors via a serial data port. Our Setup Kits provide everything needed to connect through a USB port, including power supply, sensor-PC interface and cables. WhitmanVIEW is not required but adds powerful configuration, test and management capability.
