ALTA® Wireless Ultrasonic Distance Sensor – Precision-Level Measurement
High-accuracy wireless ultrasonic sensor for non-contact distance measurement. Ideal for tanks, bins, smart buildings, and industrial applications.
Product Description
The ALTA® Wireless Ultrasonic Sensor is a smart solution for distance measurement in a variety of environments. Designed to measure the space between the sensor and nearby objects, it is ideal for level monitoring, waste bin management, object detection, and automation systems.
With 1 cm resolution and auto-calibration algorithms, this sensor adjusts for environmental factors like temperature and humidity to deliver consistent, reliable data. It is available in Commercial (±5% FS) and Industrial (±1% FS) models. The industrial version includes a detachable lead and multiple mounting hardware options for flexible installation.
This sensor sends data wirelessly to the iMonnit® platform via a Monnit gateway, allowing for remote monitoring, alert notifications, and full integration into your IoT system.
Note: Requires a Monnit gateway to operate. Visit the Software/Gateway tab or explore our kits for a complete setup.
