Overview
The UFS301 is an ultrasonic fuel sensor designed to measure liquid levels with high precision. It is built for diesel fuel tanks and can also measure water in stainless steel or aluminium vessels within the stated range. This makes it useful where stable and accurate level visibility is important.
This model uses an RS485 interface, which suits installations that need dependable communication over longer cable runs. The sensor automatically sends fuel level data every 10 seconds, so connected systems can keep receiving updated readings without manual polling. That helps simplify integration with monitoring platforms or control equipment.
The main job of the UFS301 is accurate liquid level monitoring. The datasheet states ±0.5% measurement accuracy with 0.1 mm resolution, which supports close tracking of fuel or water changes inside compatible tanks. In practical use, this helps operators follow consumption, refill activity, or unusual level drops more clearly.
The sensor supports a 9–36 VDC input range, which makes it easier to use across different vehicle and equipment power systems. Its IP67 rating and operating range of -30 °C to +80 °C also make it suitable for demanding environments where dust, water exposure, and temperature changes are part of normal operation. The low 0.36W power draw at 12VDC supports efficient long-term use.

Applications
In fleet operations, the UFS301 can be used to track fuel levels in vehicle tanks with regular automatic reporting. Its RS485 output makes it easier to connect into broader vehicle monitoring setups, while the measurement accuracy supports better fuel visibility and day-to-day control.
Heavy equipment often works in rough outdoor conditions, so the IP67 design and wide operating temperature range are useful here. The sensor helps operators keep track of diesel levels in working machines and reduce surprises caused by low fuel during active jobs.
For generator installations, the UFS301 can help monitor fuel levels in diesel tanks so teams know when refueling is needed. Its automatic 10-second output supports steady visibility, which is helpful for sites that rely on backup or continuous power equipment.
The sensor is also suitable for stainless steel or aluminium tanks used in industrial environments, provided they match the datasheet conditions. Its precise liquid measurement can support routine level monitoring where operators need a simple and reliable way to follow tank contents.
Because the datasheet also lists water measurement in compatible vessels, the UFS301 can be used in applications where water level tracking matters. This gives it value beyond fuel-only use and supports straightforward monitoring in systems that need regular liquid level updates.
