Introducing MicroScan
MicroScan is an ultrasonic, non-contact level measurement
device of mono-block construction (combing the sensor and
electronic components in a single unit). MicroScan provides
reliable and precise level measurement results of both liquids
and solids.
It can be used for the following measurement tasks:
)Liquid tanks with calm surfaces
)Solids tanks that are dust-free
MicroScan has a range of up to 5 m (16.5 ft) with an
accuracy of approx. 0.25% within that range.
MicroScan is available in two configurations:
)MicroScan with no display and no keyboard ("Blind" unit)
)MicroScan with optional display but without keyboard
The following models are available for each configuration:
)MicroScan L for liquids
)MicroScan S for solids
