The Versatile Measurement Solution


Introducing the New-Generation MultiRanger
The MultiRanger ultrasonic level transceiver offers unsurpassed
reliability, high performance, digital communications, and the latest
technology features – all in a cost-effective package.

The Versatile Level


Measurement Solution
This multi-functional level monitor is ideal for short- to
medium-range applications up to 15 meters (50 ft.). It’s
so versatile it can be applied in many major industries:

Water and Wastewater
