Customer Value

Designed to reduce installation risk and field maintenance

Non-contact Measurement

Ultrasonic sensing reads through the tank wall from outside, avoiding direct contact with the liquid.

Optimized Electronics

The updated circuit design improves weak-signal processing and helps filter clutter in supported tank applications.

Improved Installation

The installation approach has been refined to improve coupling stability and reduce field adjustment effort.

Applications

Suitable for tank monitoring projects

DF520 is useful when the customer needs a cleaner installation method for existing tanks. Confirm tank wall material, wall thickness, medium, and installation position before rollout.
