Ultrasonic water level sensor DS1603

Product detailed description

Ultrasonic water level sensor in a waterproof package capable of detecting the water level through the walls of the container. The sensor is blind for the first five centimeters from the sensor, so it is necessary that the detected liquid is further away or perpendicular to the sensor. The sensor is capable of detecting liquids in the range of 5-200 cm.

ATTENTION! Pay attention to the information about the mounting method of the sensor! It is also necessary to lubricate the sensor's contact area with ultrasonic gel, otherwise the sensor may not detect properly. For testing, it is sufficient to paint the area with water only, but this is insufficient for permanent operation.
