Part of the Schneider Electric Hyde Park Superprox sensor family, the SM552A173LER4 is a dual-level ultrasonic sensor engineered for precise non-contact detection. This sensor is commonly integrated into automated systems requiring reliable level monitoring in tanks, hoppers, and process vessels.

Technical details

• Sensing Technology: Ultrasonic
• Detection Type: Dual-Level
• Output Type: PNP (typically indicated by 'P' in Schneider Electric part numbers, though not explicitly stated here, it's a common configuration for this series)
• Housing Material: Likely robust industrial-grade plastic or metal for durability in harsh environments.
• Operating Principle: Emits ultrasonic pulses and measures the time for the echo to return, enabling detection of material presence or absence at two distinct levels.
• Enclosure Rating: Expected to meet IP65 or higher for dust and water ingress protection, suitable for washdown environments.
• Connection Type: Typically features an M12 connector for easy and secure electrical connection.
• Power Supply: Operates on a standard industrial DC voltage range, commonly 10-30VDC.

Applications & compatibility

The Schneider Electric SM552A173LER4 is well-suited for applications in the food and beverage industry, chemical processing, material handling, and water treatment. Its ability to detect both liquids and granular solids makes it versatile for monitoring fill levels in silos, tanks, and packaging machinery.
