Description
Industrial Distance and Level Measurement — Precision Meets Accuracy
The Milesight EM500-UDL is a LoRaWAN® Ultrasonic Distance/Level Sensor engineered for accurate, non-contact measurement of liquids and solid objects in demanding industrial and outdoor environments. Using ultrasonic wave technology, it detects levels without touching the medium — making it ideal for corrosive chemicals, wastewater, flood water, and bulk solids.
Key Features
- Accurate Non-Contact Detection — Ultrasonic waves measure liquid or object distance with up to ±1% full-scale accuracy, even for corrosive or chemically aggressive media.
- Wide Measuring Range: 0.25 m to 10 m — Multiple probe options (W050, W100, C050, C100) covering short- and long-range applications including narrow-opening containers.
- IP67 Rated & UV Resistant — Fully sealed against dust and water ingress; UV-resistant housing withstands continuous outdoor exposure. Proven in ski resorts, manufacturing plants, river banks, and remote dam sites.
- 10-Year Battery Life — Powered by a 19,000 mAh ER34615 Li-SOCl₂ battery at a 10-minute reporting interval; no mains power or wiring required.
- LoRaWAN® Class A Wireless — OTAA/ABP, supports all major frequency plans (EU868, US915, AS923, AU915, etc.). Long-range transmission through walls and across open terrain.
- NFC & USB-C Configuration — Configure via the Milesight ToolBox mobile app over NFC, or via USB-C on a PC. No specialist tools needed.
- Advanced Data Features — On-device storage of 1,000 entries, data retransmission, threshold alarms, change alarms, and Milesight D2D controller support.
- Flexible Mounting — Pole, wall, or DIN Rail mounting options; compatible with the optional DIN Rail Kit.
