Continuous Non-Contact Distance measurement for any application<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]\"Pulstar<\/strong><\/p>\n

MassaSonic PulStar\u00ae<\/sup><\/em>\u00a0Series Ultrasonic Sensors<\/strong>\u00a0are ruggedly designed transmitting modules, providing reliable continuous level or distance measurement at ranges\u00a0from\u00a04 inches (100mm) to 20 feet (6m). The PulStar\u00ae series products are a direct result of improvements made upon the M-300 and M-320 sensors and serve as a drop-in replacement for those legacy products. These durable Sensors are RoHS compliant, IP68 rated, and available in three versions. All models provide precision measurement for applications such as factory automation, process control, tank level monitoring, object detection, and more. With the inclusion of state-of-the-art processing algorithms, false echoes due to object interference are a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
