MaxBotix's wireless sensors provide liquid detection at zero distance

MB7850 XL-TankSensor-WRMA from MaxBotix is a unique combination of enhanced hardware and firmware that delivers top-notch performance inside the tank. MB7850 tank sensor is a low cost liquid level monitoring sensor, which uses ultrasonic technology for non-contact transmission detection. The unique design makes it an easy to use sensor for a variety of liquid level detection applications. The MB7850 is ideal for use in containers such as cans, drums and boxes, which are often a challenge for ultrasonic equipment.

What distinguishes MB7850 is its instruction function (serial communication is available), which trains the sensor to recognize the shape of an empty container. Even if there are other detectable obstacles (such as ripples), this does not prevent the sensor from correctly measuring. The sensor has an advanced target reporting algorithm to ensure that the fluid level is correctly reported. Confidence to report distance readings even for challenging applications. The TankSensor is an out-of-the-box device, although it offers many advanced features. It usually requires no additional input. Users only need to activate the sensor to read the tank level.
