New ultrasonic sensors designed for storage and dispensing silos, adaptable for many other uses

Sensor manufacturer Madison Company has released the new U5098 series of ultrasonic sensors for depths up to 32 feet, perfect for many tough agricultural applications.

Madison Company, a leading manufacturer of liquid level sensors, has announced the new U5098 series of ultrasonic sensors for depths up to 32 feet, perfect for an array of agricultural applications.


The new U5098 ultrasonic sensors provide non-contact continuous level measurement of challenging medias such as sticky, semi-solid, corrosive, and viscous fluids, slurries and even some solids. The U5098 line of sensors can be used indoors or outdoors, are low maintenance and can be cost-effective in difficult applications.

U5098 Ultrasonic Sensor Features:
* Sensing ranges up to 32 feet for commercial, light industrial applications
* Various input power options: 120, 240 and 22 - 27 VAC, and 20 - 30 VDC
* Can be combined with Madison panel meters for a readily available way to read the 4-20mA output
* 2 programmable relays capable of 3 amps each for switching controllers, valves, small pumps, etc.
* Bench-or field-calibrated through a push button on the sensor or communications with a PC for calibration on the spot or remotely
* Temperature-compensated signal for improved accuracy

These sensors are particularly well suited for demanding agriculatural applications such as:
* Storage and dispensing silos
* Water and wastewater
* Fuel/oil measurement
* Tanks with heavy agitation
* Feed measurement & processing

Advanced Mid-Power and High-Power LEDs for Horticulture Lighting

Cree LED's J Series® family offers a comprehensive portfolio of mid-power and high-power LEDs engineered specifically for horticulture lighting. The lineup includes high-efficacy 2835, 3030 and 5050 platforms designed to maximize photon output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability in demanding grow environments. Photophyll™ Select options in the JB3030C and 2835 platforms deliver industry-leading efficiency with excellent sulfur resistance and footprint compatibility with 301B/H devices - making design-in seamless for horticulture luminaires. The 2835 N-Class color portfolio adds even greater flexibility with 15 high-efficacy spectral options that support precise spectrum tuning. For high-power applications, the JR5050C provides the industry's highest efficacy in its class and can reduce system costs by up to 40%. The JR5050B complements this with best-in-class efficacy in both 6V and 30V configurations. The J Series portfolio also features top-performing white LEDs. The JB3030C delivers up to 3.33 PPF/W (typical), while the JB2835B offers the highest efficacy available in a 2835 white platform. Together, these solutions give horticulture lighting manufacturers exceptional efficiency, broad spectral versatility and unmatched design flexibility.
