Description
OPS8243-C Material Level Monitor
The OPS8243-C provides a simple solution to material level monitoring. The sensor reports the distance to liquids and solids from a distance up to 50m away. A smart averaging algorithm helps improve accuracy in reporting and it has a resolution of 4 cm/1.6 in. Applications include flood monitoring of rivers, creeks, or lakes or as an altimeter for drones. Alert messages can be set if heights exceeding a low or high level threshold are exceeded. The sensor has two interface options, RS-232 and WiFi.
