Overview
The Milltronics MultiRanger Plus is an ultrasonic level monitor and controller engineered for accurate measurement and control across diverse industrial applications. This programmable system provides single or dual-point level measurement with advanced echo processing and temperature compensation. The MultiRanger Plus supports multiple transducer types and operates with voltage inputs from 100 to 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz, making it adaptable to global installations.
Key Features
- Programmable dual-point or single-point level measurement
- Advanced Sonic Intelligence echo-processing for reliable readings in agitated or noisy environments
- Modbus RTU digital communications via RS-485 for SCADA integration
- Configurable relay outputs (typically 3 to 6 Form A/C relays) for alarm and pump control
- Full temperature compensation with integral temperature sensor
- Compatible with multiple transducers including XRS-5, ST-H, XPS-10, XPS-15, XCT-8, and XCT-12

Typical Applications
The MultiRanger Plus is widely deployed in water and wastewater treatment, chemical storage, fuel oil tanks, aggregate processing (hoppers, crushers), dry solids bins, and open-channel flow monitoring. Its short to medium-range ultrasonic signal and configurable alarming make it ideal for pump control, level alarming, and flow measurement in hostile or dusty environments. The system’s ability to handle high-temperature transducers (up to 145°C) and chemically resistant options extends its use in refineries, food processing, and pharmaceutical facilities.
