A level meter that looks down at the liquid and never touches it. Transmitter, transducer and display are one field-mounted unit, in ranges from 5 to 20 m, with a flameproof housing version for fuels and solvents.
The transducer sits above the surface, so there are no wetted electronics to foul or corrode. A PVDF or PTFE probe is available for corrosive vapour.
It reports the level of the liquid by default, or the distance to the surface, with automatic temperature compensation from an internal sensor.
Up to two programmable relays are available as an option, so a pump or an alarm switches at the tank without waiting for anything else.
A flameproof housing version is built for fuel, solvent and other classified areas. Certification documentation for your market and installation class is scoped per order.

The blind zone is the distance below the transducer in which it cannot measure. Mount the meter so the highest level stays below it.
| Range | Blind zone |
|---|---|
| 5 m | 0.3 m |
| 10 m | 0.4 m |
| 15 m | 0.6 m |
| 20 m | 0.8 m |
The sensor is a standard Modbus device. What it is connected to decides what the reading is worth.
The RS485 output connects to a Genesis controller alongside every other Modbus sensor on the site. Each device has its own address, and each reading is filed against its own location.
The controller sends readings over 4G-LTE on battery, solar or a DC supply. Through an outage it holds them and sends them in order when the link returns.
Charts, threshold alerts to the right person, export to Excel, and a REST API for your own systems.
The output is standard Modbus RTU, so the sensor also reads into any PLC or controller that speaks it.
The distance below the transducer in which it cannot measure: 0.3 m on the 5 m range, rising to 0.8 m on the 20 m range. The meter is mounted so that the highest liquid level stays below it.

It is specified for liquids. Bulk solids in a silo are a different measurement and need a different instrument.
