// SENSING

Centimeter-grade ultrasonic level sensing.

Ultrasonic probe mounted in the tank lid, ranging continuously at 40 kHz. The firmware applies temperature compensation and a 5-sample median filter — so wave action, splashes, and short-term turbulence don’t move the reading.

  • 01
    ±1 cm accuracyFrom 200mm to 4500mm range — covers tanks 250L through 25,000L without calibration
  • 02
    Temperature compensatedOnboard temperature sensor corrects speed-of-sound for tank ambient (–10 °C to 60 °C operating range)
  • 03
    5-sample median filterWave action and momentary obstructions are rejected before publishing telemetry
FEATURE / 02
// CONTROL

Pump + valve control with edge protections.

40A solid-state relay drives the motor pump. Solenoid relays drive inlet and outlet valves. Auto-fill setpoints, manual override, scheduled runs — all enforced in firmware so a lost network connection never compromises safety.

  • 01
    Dry-run protectionNo flow detected after 5 min of pump runtime → automatic shutoff, dispatched alert
  • 02
    Overflow cutoffHard-coded 95% high limit overrides any setpoint or manual command
  • 03
    Voltage / current windowsConfigurable 180–260V and 0–8A guardrails. Out-of-window for 3 s → relay opens
  • 04
    Max runtime ceilingUser-configurable 1–120 min pump cap, prevents thermal damage on faulty sensors
FEATURE / 03
// CONNECT

MQTT/TLS to the Velonics One PWA.

WSS over port 8084 to our cloud MQTT broker. Retained last-will-and-testament for online/offline state. QoS 1 for commands. Connection-loss buffering for up to 24 hours of telemetry.

// HARDWARE

Industrial-grade enclosure.

IP65-rated ABS housing with cable glands and gasketed lid. DIN-rail mount option for switchboards. WS2812 status LED, BOOT button for factory reset, USB-C for field-service debug.
