Easy. Teach Button
Sensors come with a default setup but many features are adjustable using the rear push-button (except ToughSonic 50). The default setup can also be reset using the push-button, or the button can be disabled.
Tough. Construction
These rugged, compact ultrasonic sensors inspired the “ToughSonic” name. They are our flagship products with heavy-duty electronics epoxy potted into type 316 stainless steel housings, with permanently attached cables and ruggedized piezoelectric transducers. ToughSonic sensors are found on remote monitoring stations from the Australian outback to Alaskan oil fields. They are installed on heavy construction and farm equipment and in some of the harshest factory environments. When an ordinary sensor just won’t do, you need a ToughSonic.
Product Line Features:
Smart. Communications
All sensors include serial data communications to connect with SenixVIEW setup software or your equipment. Choose either the RS-232 or RS-485 model, with the following communications format:
We recommend the RS-485 Serial Data Interface unless connecting to an RS-232 device. The benefits of RS-485 over RS-232 include:
Energy is conserved in battery-powered applications since these sensors power-on and are ready to measure in under 1 second. If you only require a Serial Data interface all models are available without the additional analog and switch outputs at reduced cost and power consumption, and use a 4-wire (plus drain) cable instead of the standard 6 or 9-wire cable.
Multiple Outputs
Ultimate Flexibility
All sensor outputs are SenixVIEW configurable by the user.
Easy. Teach Button
Sensors come with a default setup but many features are adjustable using the rear push-button (except ToughSonic 50). The default setup can also be reset using the push-button, or the button can be disabled.
Adjustment is easier and more powerful using SenixVIEW software (see below).
Connected. SenixVIEW PC Software
SenixVIEW is included at no charge, runs on a Windows PC and connects to sensors via a serial data port. Our Setup Kits provide everything needed to connect through a USB port, including power supply, sensor-PC interface and cables. SenixVIEW is not required but adds powerful configuration, test and management capability.
