Sure Cross® Q45UAA/Q45UAC All-in-One Ultrasonic Node

Banner Engineering's Sure Cross wireless Q45 sensors combine Banner’s flexible Q45 sensor family with its reliable, field-proven Sure Cross wireless architecture to solve new classes of applications limited only by the user’s imagination. Q45 sensors contain various sensor models, a radio, and an internal battery supply, making them truly plug-and-play.

The Q45UA combines the functionality of a K50U ultrasonic sensor with the reliability of the Q45 wireless node into one compact package, eliminating the need for ordering multiple components and reducing the device's physical size. This solution allows the monitoring of fluid or dry assets in remote locations without human intervention. The industrial-grade, battery-powered device can wirelessly transmit the level or position to a wireless controller/gateway for remote monitoring or control with local LED indication. All configuration is done through internal DIP switches or the DX80 performance configuration software. In addition, caustic chemical-resistant versions are available.

Features

• Mobility - the wireless sensor can move with the container
• Reduce complexity - machine or process reconfiguration made easier, suitable for retrofit applications
• Deploy easily - simplify installation on existing equipment and enable deployment in remote and hard-to-access locations
• DIP switches for user configuration for sample and report times and transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 W for 900 MHz models
• Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery
• Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the gateway and node, including fully acknowledged data transmission
• Diagnostics allow user-defined output settings in the unlikely event of a lost radio signal
• Measurement ranges 100 mm to 3 meters
