MacRay LUS X1 LoRaWAN® Ultrasonic Level Sensor

Product Overview

MacRay LUS X1 is an industrial-grade LoRaWAN® ultrasonic level sensor engineered for high-accuracy wireless level monitoring of liquids and solids across tanks, manholes, reservoirs, sumps, sewer systems, wastewater infrastructure, flood monitoring systems, and industrial process environments. Designed for Industrial IoT deployments, the device continuously measures level and distance data using advanced ultrasonic time-of-flight sensing technology and transmits real-time information over ultra-long-range LoRaWAN® wireless networks.

Built specifically for harsh outdoor and industrial environments, the MacRay LUS X1 LoRaWAN® ultrasonic sensor combines intelligent echo filtering, rugged IP67 protection, ultra-low-power architecture, and long-range wireless communication to deliver highly reliable level measurement even in moisture-rich, chemically aggressive, dusty, and underground deployment conditions. The sensor is optimized for wireless tank level monitoring, smart drainage monitoring, flood detection systems, industrial wastewater analytics, and smart city infrastructure deployments.

The device supports LoRaWAN® v1.0.4 Class A communication, AES-128 encrypted wireless transmission, BLE-based local configuration via the Macnman Maya App, and intelligent uplink strategies including periodic, threshold-based, and event-driven reporting. Optimized for battery-powered industrial operation, the MacRay LUS X1 enables multi-year wireless monitoring deployments without expensive cabling infrastructure.

Whether deployed for smart water utility monitoring, sewer overflow detection, industrial liquid level monitoring, flood alert systems, wastewater infrastructure analytics, underground drainage management, or remote reservoir monitoring, the MacRay LUS X1 industrial LoRaWAN® ultrasonic level sensor transforms physical level conditions into actionable real-time operational intelligence for Industry 4.0 and connected infrastructure ecosystems.

The MacRay LUS X1 wireless ultrasonic level monitoring sensor is fully compatible with major LoRaWAN® gateways and network servers including ChirpStack, The Things Stack, MQTT platforms, Orbiwise, and private industrial LoRaWAN® infrastructures — enabling seamless integration into SCADA systems, Industrial IoT dashboards, cloud monitoring platforms, and smart utility management infrastructure.
