Ultrasonic sensing is one of the best ways to sense proximity and detect levels with high reliability. Our technical support gets emails all of the time about how our sensors work and what environments our sensors work (or don’t work) in. This guide was created as an introduction to ultrasonic sensing, it’s principles, and…

These are important factors to consider when mounting your sensor in a tank. Avoidance of obstructions – The wall of the tank or other obstructions in the tank will give inaccurate readings. Placement can affect readings – Our filtering protocol allows the sensor to prioritize large targets over small targets and noise. This is beneficial…

According to this case study, “the distance between tide stations with real-time measurements is, on average, over 100 miles.” There can be a significant difference in tide levels over short distances. Variations are very noticeable in bays and inlets. Strong wind can also result in levels being measured lower or higher than predicted. Local real-time…
