Technical Information

Prosonic S

FDU90/91/91F/92/93/95/96

Ultrasonic sensors for non-contact continuous
level and flow measurement,
for connection to the transmitters FMU90 and FMU95

FDU92

FDU93

FDU95

FDU96

FDU91

FDU90

FDU91F

Application

• Continuous, non-contact level measurement of fluids, 

pastes, sludges and powdery to coarse bulk materials

• Flow measurement in open channels and measuring 

weirs

• Maximum measuring range

– FDU90: 3 m (9.8 ft) in fluids

1.2 m 3.9 ft) in bulk materials

– FDU91/FDU91F: 10 m (33 ft) in fluids

5 m (16 ft) in bulk materials

– FDU92: 20 m (66 ft) in fluids

10 m (33 ft) in bulk materials

– FDU93: 25 m (82 ft) in fluids

15 m (49 ft) in bulk materials

– FDU95: 45 m (148 ft) in bulk materials
– FDU96: 70 m (230 ft) in bulk materials

• Suited for explosion hazardous areas

Your benefits

• Non-contact measurement method; minimizes service 

requirements

• Integrated temperature sensor for time-of-flight 

correction. Accurate measurements are possible, even 
if temperature changes are present

• Hermetically welded PVDF sensors FDU91/92 for 

fluid measurement, for highest chemical resistance

• Integrated automatical sensor detection for 

transmitters FMU90, simple commissioning

• Can be installed up to 300 m (984 ft) from the 

transmitter

• Suited for rough ambient conditions thanks to separate 

installation from the transmitter

• Reduced build-up formation because of the self-

cleaning effect

• Integrated heating against a build-up of ice at the 

sensor (optional), ensures reliable measurement

• Weather resistant and flood-proof (IP68)
• Dust-Ex and Gas-Ex certificats available (ATEX, FM, 

CSA)
