Level Measuring and Monitoring

FU-01
Ultrasonic
Level Limit Switch

Description:
• Contactless The FU-01 is a level switch that works without contact.
The sensor and evaluating electronic components are located
in a housing. Continually emitted ultrasonic signals strike the

again received as echo. The signal runtime is measured and
• Simple commissioning interpreted as the distance.
The device has two setpoints which can be programmed
as alarm functions (e.g. Max/Max, Max, Min or Min/Min).
• 2 relay contacts or
As a standard, these outputs are designed as potential-free

fail-safe function Current measurement and operating status are displayed
on an LCD display unit.

Range of application:
The FU-01 series of ultrasonic level switches is used wherever
contactless measuring is advantageous. Typical applications
are, for example, in water and effluent management, for bulk
goods or in sewage treatment plants. As far as level monito-
ring is concerned, problems caused by soiling, blockages or
corrosion belong therefore to the past.
