[NTXUL500ATEXNB] ATEX-Certified NB-IoT Industrial Level Sensor

The NTXUL500ATEXNB – ATEX-Certified NB-IoT Industrial Level Sensor is an industrial ultrasonic sensor for remote level measurement in liquids and solids, with integrated NB-IoT connectivity and ATEX certification for potentially explosive atmospheres. Designed for tanks, silos and critical industrial environments, it enables secure, autonomous and low-power remote monitoring.

Description

The NTXUL500ATEXNB – ATEX Certified NB-IoT Industrial Level Sensor is an advanced and professional remote monitoring solution designed for industrial environments where safety, reliability and operational continuity are critical factors. Based on non-contact ultrasonic technology, the device is capable of measuring liquid or solid levels up to a distance of 5 metres with high precision, eliminating mechanical wear and reducing the maintenance associated with intrusive systems. Its non-contact operation makes it particularly suitable for applications where corrosion, pressure or the presence of aggressive substances make the use of traditional sensors unfeasible.

Its industrial construction with IP67 protection guarantees resistance to dust, humidity and adverse environmental conditions, while its ATEX certification (II 0G Ex ia IIC T6 Ga) enables it to operate in potentially explosive atmospheres. This makes it an ideal solution for refineries, petrochemical plants, fuel depots, pumping stations, chemical environments or industrial silos where safety regulations are particularly stringent. The robust and compact design allows for easy installation in both closed and open containers, as well as in hydraulic infrastructures or outdoor environments.

The NTXUL500ATEXNB is powered by a high-capacity lithium battery that provides over three years of autonomy with standard transmission configurations, such as four daily transmissions. This feature eliminates the need for electrical wiring, facilitating deployment in remote or hard-to-reach locations and significantly reducing installation costs. The device’s energy efficiency makes it particularly suitable for large-scale projects where resource optimisation is key.

Thanks to its Nasatech LINK Connectivity multi-band NB-IoT connectivity, the sensor transmits data directly to the cloud infrastructure without the need for local gateways or intermediate hubs. This simplified architecture reduces the technical complexity of the project, minimises points of failure and enables mass deployments with a scalable and secure structure. Direct transmission to the cloud facilitates integration into industrial digitisation projects, Industry 4.0 strategies and critical infrastructure monitoring programmes.

Native integration with the Nasatech CORE Platform extends the value of the device beyond simple level measurement. From the platform, it is possible to configure the exact geometry of the tank —cylindrical, rectangular, horizontal or vertical— to automatically convert the measurement into actual available volume. Specific calibration curves can also be applied, business rules established and consumption histories analysed to obtain a complete view of the behaviour of the monitored asset. This allows for the optimisation of material replenishment, the detection of operational anomalies and the improvement of logistical efficiency.

The system supports the definition of smart alarms based on thresholds, abnormal variations or unusual behaviour patterns. Notifications can be sent through different channels and adapted to corporate workflows, facilitating quick and informed decision-making. In addition, interoperability with industrial systems through secure protocols allows the sensor to be integrated into existing corporate architectures, maintaining consistency with standards such as ISA-95 or unified data models.

Overall, the NTXUL500ATEXNB is not just a level sensor, but an intelligent node within the industrial digital ecosystem. It combines physical robustness, efficient connectivity and advanced analytical capabilities to offer a complete remote monitoring solution focused on safety, operational optimisation and the digital transformation of industrial assets.
