U-GAGE S18U Series—Analog

Product image

Overview

  • Offers 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with 4-20 mA or 0-10V dc analog output, depending on model
  • Senses from 30 to 300 mm
  • Automatically scales the analog output over the width of the programmed sensing window
  • Ideal for material handling and packaged goods applications, such as bottling or liquid level detection and control for small containers
  • Available in straight or right-angle versions with a wide variety of mounting hardware for enhance sensing versatility
  • Compensates for temperature, for greatest sensing accuracy
  • Simplifies setup with push-button and remote TEACH-mode programming
  • Shows status during setup and operation, using highly visible LEDs indicators
