Dragino DDS20 Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT & LTE-M)

 

The Dragino DDS20 is a non-contact ultrasonic liquid level sensor designed for remote monitoring of tanks, vessels, and containers. By measuring the distance between the sensor and the liquid surface, the DDS20 provides reliable level readings without direct contact with the liquid, making it suitable for water, wastewater, and other liquid storage applications.

Multi-Network Connectivity The DDS20 is available in variants that support LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M, allowing you to select the most appropriate network based on coverage, infrastructure, and deployment requirements. This flexibility supports both private LPWAN networks and carrier-operated cellular networks.

Non-Contact Level Monitoring Using ultrasonic sensing technology, the DDS20 measures liquid level without direct contact. This design reduces maintenance requirements and avoids issues associated with fouling, corrosion, or contamination.

Designed for Outdoor Deployment The DDS20 is built for long-term outdoor and industrial use. Battery-powered and solar-powered options support unattended operation, making it suitable for remote sites and low-maintenance installations.

Enhanced Functionality with Telemetry2U Integration While the DDS20 can be connected to compatible third-party platforms, Telemetry2U is the recommended option for customers seeking a supported, end-to-end monitoring solution. When integrated with the Telemetry2U IoT platform, the DDS20 can be configured for dashboards, historical data logging, alerts, and device management.
