LU06 Ultrasonic Level Sensor
- Manufacturer: Nesa
- Category: SENSORS, Level Sensors, Level Sensors for Liquids
The NESA LU06 is an ultrasonic hydrometer or snow level sensor with a piezoelectric transducer housed in a screen that protects it from direct sunlight and wind gusts. It is used as a hydrometer and snow gauge, with automatic temperature compensation.
Typical range 0–6000 mm with a 300 mm dead zone, sensitivity 1 mm, accuracy 0.1% fs @ 20°C (ΔT < 2%), response time < 1 s, and operating frequency 65 kHz. Output 4–20 mA (LU06-B), power supply 10.8–30 Vdc, IP66 aluminum housing.
