SmartBob HM  This weight and cable level sensor takes precise measurements at predetermined times to continuously monitor how much material is in a bin, tank or silo.

What's new?  The horizontal mounting feature. Designed to be used when it is not possible to install the sensor on the top of the bin, the sensor has a custom-made, rigid extension from 12 inches to 36 inches long that enters the side through a 4-inch opening.

Benefits  Increased worker safety. Level measurement data is sent directly to a control console or PC, eliminating the need for workers to climb on bins to take manual measurements. It is safe to use in locations where combustible dust is present.
