Level Sensor S60

The S60 measures both liquid level and bulk-solid material level with non-contact Time-of-Flight ranging from 2.5 cm to 11 m — for tanks, silos and bins holding water, oil, solvents, grain, feed or cement. 4G LTE reports direct-to-cloud via TCP/UDP/MQTT with no gateway, a 14,000 mAh Li-SOCl₂ battery runs 15+ years maintenance-free, and IP68 with −40 to +85 °C handles harsh outdoor duty.

FAQ

Level Sensor S60 — common questions

No. The S60-4 connects directly to the cloud over 4G LTE and reports via TCP, UDP or MQTT. An eSIM or Nano SIM provides the connection — no local infrastructure, no gateway.

Yes. Besides still liquid surfaces such as water, oil and chemical solvents, the S60 measures bulk-solid material levels including grain, feed, cement and aggregates. For best accuracy the material surface should be relatively even; the tight 5° field of view keeps readings stable even in narrow silos.

Within the 0–2.5 cm blind zone the sensor cannot measure. From 2.5 cm to 25 cm accuracy is better than 10 mm; beyond 25 cm it is better than 4% of the measured distance.

Yes. The enclosure is rated IP68 and the operating range is −40 to +85 °C, so it tolerates rain, dust and extreme temperatures. The white or black ABS shell screws onto standard tank fittings for tool-free mounting. For tank applications we recommend mounting on the tank lid — drilling only the lid keeps the tank body itself intact.

Have tanks or silos that need watching?

Send us vessel dimensions, media type and reporting frequency — we will confirm standard S60 fit and battery life for your case. Private-label, firmware and platform-integration support is available for qualified projects.
