Description Description The Ultrasonic Probe KNX SO250 is used for measurement of the fill level of liquids in tanks or for distance measurement. In addition to application areas like rainwater cisterns or fuel tanks, also e. g. fish ponds or wells or the parking distance of trucks can be monitored.
The device is only to be used for the intended purpose described in this manual. Any improper modification or failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and all warranty and guarantee claims. Ultrasonic Probe KNX SO250 • Version: 14.09.2020 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur after publication of these operating instructions.

Loud surrounding noise (e.g. when filling metal tanks) may disrupt the measurement. Please contact us with any questions regarding the area of application or installation. Ultrasonic Probe KNX SO250 • Version: 14.09.2020 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
The device is supplied with the bus address 15.15.255. You can program another ad- dress into the ETS by overwriting the 15.15.255 address or by teaching via the pro- gramming button. Ultrasonic Probe KNX SO250 • Version: 14.09.2020 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Settings on the device Settings on the device The display of the KNX SO250 is only used for defining the specifica- tions for the two output relays. Additional parameterization options can be found in the ETS programme file. The bus allows blocking of a measurement and to request a repeated measurement.
4.3. Fill level measurement The KNX SO250 Tank Sensor can measure the fill level of liquids in tanks. Possible tank designs are rectangular tanks, spherical tanks, vertical or horizontal tanks. If more than one similar tank exist in a battery only one tank needs to be described for the KNX SO250 to calculate the content according to the specified tank number.
