Netbiter Ultrasonic Tank Sensor

The Ultrasonic Tank Sensor is an accessory to the Netbiter remote management solution. It allows you to see the exact content level of your tanks in a regular web browser. You also get immediate alarms if the level is too low or if it drops too fast (theft or leakage).

The Ultrasonic Tank Sensor is an easy-to-use solution for monitoring the content level of fuel tanks, water tanks, oil tanks etc. It is made exclusively for Netbiter by Pepperl & Fuchs and is mounted on top of a tank to give a very exact reading (<1% margin of error). It can be used on most tank types up to 2 meter’s height.

No calibration needed

You simply connect the tank sensor to your Netbiter gateway, enter the tank type and dimensions, and the content is displayed in liters in your Netbiter Argos web interface.

    How it works 

    The Ultrasonic Tank Sensor is used together with a Netbiter gateway to monitor tank levels. The Netbiter gateway sends data about the fluid levels over Ethernet or the cellular network. The values show up immediately in an online dashboard (Netbiter Argos) without you having to visit the site.
