MB7850 XL-TankSensor-WRMA for IoT

The MB7850 XL-TankSensor-WRMA from MaxBotix is a unique combination of enhanced hardware and firmware that offer top-notch performance inside of tanks. The MB7850 tank sensor is a low-cost liquid-level monitoring sensor that uses ultrasonic technology for non-contact sensing. The unique design makes this an easy-to-use sensor for various liquid-level detection applications. The MB7850 is great for use in containers such as tanks, barrels, and bins which can often be a challenge for ultrasonic devices.

One element that sets the MB7850 apart is a teach feature (available using serial communication) that can train the sensor to recognize what the empty container looks like. This enables the sensor to range properly even in the presence of otherwise detectable obstructions like corrugation. The sensor boasts advanced target reporting algorithms that ensure the right level is being reported. It can even offer a confidence level of the reported range reading for those especially challenging applications. Although the TankSensor offers many advanced features, it comes ready to use out of the box. No additional inputs are typically required. Users can just power the sensor up and start reading the tank level.
