Advanced Features of TS-100.50
ToughSonic-100 sensors live up to their name with durable stainless-steel housings, epoxy-potted electronic components, and a wide operating temperature range.
The TS-100.50 is designed for long-term performance and minimal maintenance needs in harsh tank level or outdoor open-water monitoring applications.
- Sensor Selection Options: Opt for the standard stainless-steel model, an option with a clamp connection, or threaded PVC housing.
- Free Functionality: Adjustable switch hysteresis and time delays enable sensors to operate as pump or material flow controllers.
- Built-In Temperature Compensation: ToughSonic ultrasonics include an integrated temperature sensor for continuous accuracy during daily warming or cooling patterns.
- Ease of Scalability: Customize and save ultrasonic sensor settings for simple duplication when adding new ToughSonics to the network.
- Superior Water Ingress Protection: Sensors are able to survive temporary submersion in water or other liquids.

Digitize Your Data Management
ToughSonic sensors are compatible with the BinCloud® software platform for remote, real-time monitoring on a phone, tablet, laptop, or PC.
BinCloud is an ideal choice for inventory visibility at multiple worksites or environmental water monitoring applications where remote access is much more convenient.
- Receive automated text and/or email alerts when liquids reach pre-configured tank levels or flood alarm levels
- View readings from individual sensors or all at once on the comprehensive MultiView interface
- Preview and prioritize sensor or vessel statuses—including "Offline" or "Needs Attention"—to ensure uninterrupted measurements
- Export historical data or forecasts to identify trends, populate flood maps, or simplify financial reporting
Have restrictive IT policies or security requirements? Binventory® 2.0 offers the same inventory insights, exclusively stored on your company's LAN, WAN, or VPN.
Configuration as Easy as 1, 2, 3
The SensorView™ application transforms the way users install, calibrate, and fine-tune their Senix ultrasonic sensors.
ToughSonics are connected to a Windows PC via serial data port. From there, customize your sensor settings with over 80 adjustable parameters, launch multi-sensor networks, and conduct output tests.

Streamline Setup with SensorView™ Software
The farther the distance between an ultrasonic sensor and its target, the higher chance of potential ultrasonic echo interference.
To mitigate these effects, ToughSonic sensor users can utilize SensorView™ software to tailor their TS-100.50 settings to best fit their indoor, tank, or environmental application.
SensorView is an essential tool when scaling up operations or expanding flood monitoring systems. Clone configurations and apply to new ToughSonic sensors with ease.
- Adjust Analogs: Slope, distance endpoints, analog value limits
- Control Switches: Set points, window features, time delays
- Set Outputs: Power on, loss of echo, loss of sync responses
- Serial Data: Enables "SYNC" modes and multi-sensor networking functions, controlled in SensorView software
- Customize Measurements: Enable temperature compensation, tweak sensitivity, and change data filters, measure rate, gain settings, and data processing filters
Key Industries that Use TS-100.50 Ultrasonic Sensors
Flood Risk Assessment
Continuously monitor water levels in streams, rivers, creeks, lakes, and stormwater runoff basins. Real-time data allows for faster flooding alerts.
Liquid Tanker Management
Measure liquid freight containers during filling. Integrate with ballast pumping systems to ensure tank levels are at suitable levels for transport.
Wastewater Treatment
Monitor wastewater levels in circular treatment tanks, large concrete storage reservoirs, clarifiers, and treatment lagoons.
Industrial Processing
Non-contact object detection and distance ranging on conveyors in many plants, including packaging, mining, and food/beverage processing.
Large Tank Level Monitoring
Reliable liquid level monitoring in mid-to-large-sized tanks. Container walls constrain ultrasonic waves, helping prevent loss of response.
GIS-Based Integration
Seamless scalability for geographic information systems (or GIS). Offers ultrasonic accuracy in large-scale environmental monitoring projects.
