SSI Technologies Expands Acu-trac® Product Line
Janesville, WI, June 1, 2002 – The Acu-trac® product line has recently been expanded.

The Acu-trac® product line has recently been expanded by SSI Technologies, according to Bill Day, Director of Marketing and Sales for Non-Automotive.

The Acu-trac® fuel level sensor, which was originally developed for heavy truck applications, has recently been migrated into an industrial based product line. The major changes feature three extended sensor ranges: 0 to 1.5m, 0 to 3m, and 0 to 8m. In addition, the sensors will be produced using KYNAR, a derivative of Teflon®, for the housing material.

SSI has developed the Acu-trac® Ultrasonic Distance and Level Sensor product family to include a wide range of customer specific options. These include input voltage (12 or 24 VDC), analog output (PWM, Voltage, or Current), integral connector or integral harness, NPT threaded mount or standard SAE 5 bolt mount, NEMA4 or NEMA6 rated packages, and volumetric or distance measurement. In addition, the Acu-trac® family of products offers a RS485 digital interface which can be used to both configure the sensor and communicate diagnostics and volume/distance messages.

“We found a demand or industrial level sensing capabilities using the Acu-trac® sensor,” indicates Day, “At the request of several customers, and to fit more applications, we decided to add the additional ranges and use the more resilient KYNAR housing material.”

Customer sampling is currently underway with full production and shipping planned for September 1, 2002..
