Part of the Schneider Electric Hyde Park SM Series, the SM502A-173 is a flat profile ultrasonic sensor engineered for reliable level monitoring. This sensor is designed to detect non-hazardous liquids or dry bulk materials, providing accurate and consistent measurements in demanding industrial environments. Its ultrasonic sensing technology ensures precise detection without physical contact.

Technical details

• Series: SM Series
• Sensing Technology: Ultrasonic
• Profile: Flat
• Application: Level monitoring of non-hazardous liquids or dry materials
• Operating Principle: Emits ultrasonic pulses and measures the time for the echo to return, determining distance and thus level.
• Detection Method: Non-contact
• Material Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of materials, including liquids and dry goods.
• Environmental Considerations: Designed for industrial environments; specific ingress protection (IP) rating and operating temperature range should be verified against the manufacturer's datasheet.

Applications & compatibility

The Schneider Electric Hyde Park SM502A-173 is commonly deployed in applications requiring precise level control for bulk materials or liquids. This includes use in silos, tanks, and hoppers across industries such as food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, and water treatment facilities. Its non-contact operation makes it ideal for corrosive or abrasive substances.
