How to install Gas Cylinder Level Sensor? Where to install it?2023-08-22T09:33:25+08:00

Gas Cylinder Level Sensor can only be installed at bottom center of the tank.

Can it be installed on the top or side? Or only can be installed at the bottom?2023-08-22T09:31:37+08:00

Since the ultrasonic wave is propagated vertically, the sensor can only be installed at the bottom center of the tank. If installed on the side where there is liquid, the measured reading is the diameter of the tank; If installed at the top, there is no reading.

When do I need to apply it? Where is the coupling agent applied? What does it do?2023-08-22T09:30:20+08:00

A small amount of coupling agent needs to be applied before each sensor installation. The purpose of the coupling agent is to prevent air between the sensor and the tank wall, since air will prevent the transmission of ultrasonic waves.

IP55

Is there a measurement blind spot?2023-08-11T16:16:26+08:00

Yes, the blind area is about 4cm, which means that the sensor can’t measure liquid levels below 4cm.

How to calibrate Gas Cylinder Level Sensor?2023-08-11T16:14:16+08:00

No calibration required.

What size tanks can be measured? Can larger tanks be measured?2023-08-11T16:10:02+08:00
