BinMaster’s new line of compact non-contact radar – aka CNCR – level sensors puts 80 GHz of precision to work measuring simple and aggressive liquids.
Small in stature, but big on features these sensors set up simply using Bluetooth and the Wireless Device Configurator app loaded on a smartphone or tablet. The app can also be used to diagnose and change display parameters once the sensor is installed from up to 80 feet away.
The sensors have zero dead zone, measuring up to the sensor face, making them very accurate and ideal for smaller vessels and simple applications. The CNCR’s 80 GHz technology measures through plastic vessel walls or lids, allowing it to be mounted unobtrusively and easily without cutting a hole in the vessel.
CNCR sensors measure reliably through foam, vapour, and steam. The CNCR is not affected by fluctuations in temperature or condensation. The sensor enclosures are moulded of PVDF plastic and feature FKM seal materials for exceptional mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
These devices are offered with 2-wire 4-20 mA and 4-wire Modbus outputs. The CNCR sends measurement data to an HMI or PLC or to the BinView® web application or Binventory® software for viewing on a phone, tablet, or PLC. Level data can also be output to a digital panel meter or control console for local walk or drive up access.
The narrow beam angle is easily aimed to avoid obstructions or structure in the vessel that could interfere with performance. Mounting is simple using one of four galvanized steel mounting brackets or one of four mounting plates offered in 0, 5, 10, and 30-degree angles.
Alternatively, BinMaster’s swivel mount allows precise aiming with adjustability up to 40 degrees to perfectly point the sensor at the desired measurement location.
The CNCR-100 series wires quickly using a simple pigtail connection. There are four CNCR-100 models offered in measuring ranges from 26 to 98 feet for general use or with optional hazardous location approvals. Enclosures are weather-resistant for dust and water ingress and have IP66/IP68 ratings.
The CNCR-200 series features three models that measure from 26 or 49 feet, with an optional LED display and push button controls. Great for basic liquid level applications in unclassified areas, the CNCR-200 sensors have IP66/IP67 NEMA Type 4X enclosure approvals and are often used to measure liquid levels through plastic tank walls or the lid of an IBC.
These compact sensors are exceptionally versatile for use in all types of food stuffs for humans or animals, taking on the challenges of translucent, opaque, or transparent materials such as beverages, oils, fats, and sauces.
The CNCR can be used in oils and fuels and all types of mechanical fluids. It can be used in many types of chemicals, fertilisers, colorants, or adhesives stored in bulk storage tanks, industrial bulk containers (IBCs), or drums.
The CNCR can take on most any type of water application from drinking or purified water, to municipal water and sewage treatment, and industrial water and wastewater vessels. In open air applications, the CNCR can be used for monitoring sewer overflows, basins, dams, rivers, and bridges.

About us
BinMaster/Garner Industries is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.
Operations that struggle with the challenges of inventory management and timely replenishment of all types of powders, bulk solids, or liquids can monitor silo levels on their smartphone, tablet, or desktop with complete solutions from BinMaster. A complete suite of continuous level sensors, point level indicators, material management, and inventory monitoring devices and software simplifies material management while keeping people safe from the risks of climbing silos.
The Lincoln Nebraska, USA company manufactures sensors and software used for monitoring levels in bins, tanks, silos, chutes, and hoppers. Continuous level measurement options include SmartBob cable-based, guided wave radar, laser and 80 GHz non-contact radar, which are all compatible with Binventory™ software. Battery-powered, wireless laser level sensors are compatible with BinView® or FeedView® web apps for remote monitoring.
The unique 3DLevelScanner measures and maps material for volume accuracy and is the only sensor to generate a 3D image of silo contents. BinMaster is the exclusive worldwide supplier of this unique technology and has commissioned these sensors in bins containing powders and solids for over a decade.
Point level indicators provide automated level alerts using rotaries, diaphragm switches, capacitance probes, tilt switches, and vibrating rod level sensors. Dust detection devices alert to baghouse leaks and unsafe particulate levels. Flow detection sensors prevent cross contamination and assist with FSMA compliance for human and animal feeds. Aeration devices keep powders and solids flowing so they don’t pack in hoppers, along bin walls, or in the cone of the vessel
Robust, custom systems can be developed for a single site or networked for every bin, tank, and silo across a multi‐national operation. Add Stockpile Reports for pile inventory using images from an iPhone or drone to a SaaS dashboard. Monitor livestock feed inventory from a phone, tablet, or PC with the FeedView® web application.
BinMaster is US manufacturer certified to ISO 9001 quality management systems – requirements. For more information about BinMaster, visit www.binmaster.com.
