ProSense Wireless Dam Level Monitoring Kit – 4G Ultrasonic Non-Contact Sensor

The ProSense Wireless Ultrasonic Dam Level Monitoring Kit is a complete remote monitoring solution designed for farms, irrigation networks, councils, and rural properties. Using a high-precision industrial ultrasonic sensor, it measures the distance from the sensor to the water surface - giving accurate dam water level readings without ever touching the water.

Because it is a non-contact sensor, it is ideal for dams with debris, wildlife, algae, fluctuating levels, or where submersible sensors could be damaged or clogged.

The sensor connects to a 4G/NB-IoT data logger, transmitting real-time data directly to the ProSight Cloud Platform - no gateway, cabling, or trenching required. From your phone, tablet, or computer, you can view water levels, trends, usage patterns, rainfall effects, and historical graphs.

The system includes instant SMS/email alerts for low water levels, rapid drop, overflow risk, or custom thresholds.
Built for remote deployments, it supports multi-year battery life or optional solar-powered operation.

ProSense stocks and supports this kit locally in Australia.

The UltraSonic Unit measures distance using ultrasonic sensing technology and converts this measurement into useful data such as liquid level, water depth, or object proximity.

1. Ultrasonic Distance Measurement

The sensor emits a short ultrasonic sound pulse from the probe.
When this sound wave reaches a surface (such as water, liquid, or a solid object), it is reflected back to the sensor.

By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the sensor calculates the distance between the probe and the target surface.

2. Temperature Compensation

Because the speed of sound changes with air temperature, the DDS75 includes internal temperature compensation.
This automatically corrects the measurement to ensure stable and reliable distance readings across changing environmental conditions.

3. Distance to Level Conversion

For level measurement applications:

• The sensor is mounted at a fixed reference height

• The measured distance is subtracted from this reference

• The result is converted into:

  • Liquid level

  • Percentage full

  • Water depth

  • Volume (when tank dimensions are known)

This allows accurate monitoring of:

• Tanks

• Sumps

• Sewers

• Rivers

• Pits and reservoirs

4. Wireless Data Transmission

Measured values are transmitted wirelessly to the cloud using:

• NB-IoT

• LTE Cat-M1

Data is sent to a compatible IoT or SCADA platform where it can be:

• Visualised in dashboards

• Logged for history and compliance

• Used for alarms and automation

5. Configuration & Maintenance

The sensor supports:

• Bluetooth (BLE) configuration for quick setup

• Wireless OTA firmware updates, eliminating the need for physical access

This makes deployment and long-term maintenance simple, even in hard-to-reach locations.

6. Long-Life Power Design

The DDS75 series is designed for multi-year operation, powered by:

• An 8500mAh Li-SOCl₂ battery, or

• A solar panel with rechargeable Li-ion battery

This makes it ideal for remote and unattended installations.

Typical Applications

• Liquid level measurement (tanks, silos, sumps)

• Bottom water level monitoring

• Sewer and drainage monitoring

• Object proximity and presence detection

• Parking management systems

• Smart waste and trash level monitoring

• Robot obstacle avoidance

• Industrial automation and control

Monitor dam water levels in real time with a fully wireless, non-contact ultrasonic sensor.
This 4G system sends live readings, alerts, graphs, and history straight to your phone - no wiring or gateway required.
