This is a technology leap year for Rochester Sensors

Overview

This is a transformative year for Rochester Sensors, marking a leap forward in technological advances. Through innovative research, development, and strategic partnering, Rochester Sensors is unveiling a suite of products featuring precision, reliability, and adaptability. All are designed to improve the ease of liquid level measurement installation and access to sensor readings.

Leading the surge in technological advances is the new SureSense™ family. Its flagship, the innovative 9340 sensor, is a battery-powered device. It mates the benefits of capacitive technology to electronics that provide an onsite display as well as a variety of remote communications strategies. This capability is secured in a rugged housing that resists external environmental threats while employing a proprietary sealing method that prevents tank leakage.

As one of the first companies to develop a liquid level gauge for the propane industry, Rochester continues to be a leading innovator not only in the propane market but also in agricultural, aircraft, automotive, industrial, marine, off-highway, locomotive, refrigeration, and process equipment markets across the world. Today, Rochester Sensors has significantly expanded its global manufacturing capabilities with facilities in Mexico, Belgium, Ireland, and the UK as well as our headquarters in Coppell TX, and sales offices in China and Brussels.

Through innovative R&D and strategic partnering, Rochester Sensors is showing developed products featuring performance, reliability, and adaptability. The products focus on improving remote monitoring of propane and other liquid/bulk commodities. Leading our technological surge is SureSense™ , a battery-powered capacitive sensor secured to a rugged housing using a proprietary sealing technique. The housing has a local display plus wireless BLE to communicate with a nearby telemetry monitor.

  • Rochester Unveils the SureSense™ Capacitive Level Sensor

    Rochester, a pioneer in sensor technologies, proudly unveils the game changing SureSense™ Capacitive Level Sensor, setting a new standard in liquid level measurement for propane tanks with its patent pending features and unparalleled reliability.

    Diverging from conventional methods reliant on mechanical systems, this device harnesses cutting-edge capacitive technology to precisely measure liquid propane levels. This breakthrough eradicates interference challenges between the sensor, tank wall, and internal components, ensuring consistent performance alongside state-of-the-art design elements, culminating in enhanced overall system accuracy.

    SureSense™ integrates a suite of innovative features that collectively establish it as a dependable, low-maintenance solution for tank level monitoring. Notably, its Mechanical-Free Operation obviates the need for any moving parts within the tank, thus augmenting reliability and significantly reducing maintenance demands. The device also hosts a Replaceable Electronics Module, powered by a durable battery, furnishing periodic BLE broadcast output and a visual LCD readout. This empowers users to conveniently monitor tank levels in person, while telemetry units establish remote connections for continuous monitoring. Additionally, its advanced algorithm detects tank filling processes, dynamically increasing the reading refresh rate to 1-second. This enables technicians to seamlessly observe the filling operation locally, minimizing excess propane venting events.

    Safety compliance stands as a paramount concern for SureSense™, as it aligns with typical IECEX/ATEX/UKEX/CSA/UL safety requirements, certified for Class 1 Division 1 (Zone 0) hazardous locations. With a Long Battery Life of up to 10 years, the electronics module can be effortlessly replaced at the end of its service interval, ensuring uninterrupted and worry-free operation.
