LoRaWAN Industrial Ultrasonic Range/Distance Sensor (ULR45)

Long-Range, High-Precision Distance & Level Monitoring

The Kibitron ULR45 Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor delivers accurate, long-range distance measurements for industrial, commercial, and smart city applications. Using advanced ultrasonic technology with built-in temperature compensation, it ensures reliable readings even in challenging environments.

With a detection range of 30 mm to 4,500 mm and accuracy of ±(1 cm + 0.3% of distance), the ULR45 is a versatile solution for monitoring liquid levels, tank depths, parking systems, intelligent waste bins, sewer levels, proximity detection, and robotic navigation. Data is transmitted via LoRaWAN to the Kibitron platform, where users gain real-time visibility, alarms, and analytics.

Built for scalability, the sensor supports Bluetooth 5.1 configuration, OTA firmware updates, and remote provisioning directly through Kibitron, making deployment fast and hassle-free. A rugged IP66-rated enclosure and ultra-low power design (powered by an 8500 mAh Li-SOCl₂ battery for up to 5 years) make the ULR45 ideal for unattended, long-term deployments.

Please Note: All Kibitron LoRaWAN sensors require a LoRaWAN gateway and an active Kibitron software subscription to operate. These devices are not compatible with our RF-based gateways.

For the best experience, we recommend using our pre-provisioned LoRaWAN gateways, which arrive fully configured to communicate with the Kibitron platform.
If you need help selecting the right gateway or confirming compatibility, please contact our support team.
NB-IoT/LTE-M versions are also available for cellular applications.
