• Introducing
The DCR-1003, 1004 controllers with DST series sensors were specifically
designed to provide a rugged and reliable non-contact sensor system that is
easily programmed yet flexible enough to use in a wide range of applications.
The DCR-1003, 1004 controllers have a large display to show readings and
parameters. They also include a mode display to provide easy setup of the
programmable modes. The controller can be configured to monitor level, flow,
volume or differential. The DCR-1003 comes standard with four relay outputs.
The DCR-1004 or analog version, also includes a standard 4-20 mA output with
optional configurations of 0-20 mA or voltage outputs.
The DST series sensors are non-contact ultrasonic which measure the
distance to a surface through air. The standard DCR-1003, 1004 sensor is the
DST-1002. It is a totally sealed PVC sensor with a range of 25 ft. Several other
versions of DST are available to fit almost any application.
Typical applications include:
• Monitoring water levels in a well
• Monitoring open channel flow
• Determining material volume in a tank
• Taking differential measurements
• Obstacle avoidance
• Product dimensioning
