Compact OEM Radar Level Sensor for Fuel, Diesel & Chemicals (10m) | MQ1000

The ultra-compact, ultra-low power 80GHz pulse radar sensor designed for high-vibration machinery, mobile fleet fuel monitoring, and space-constrained chemical tanks.

Engineered with a rugged 304 Stainless Steel or robust PA12 housing, the MQ1000 is built to deliver reliable level measurements in demanding mobile and industrial environments. With an operating current of less than 35 mA and pre-calibrated ranges for water, diesel, and gasoline, it is the perfect low-maintenance replacement for mechanical float switches and ultrasonic sensors.

  • Optimized Ranges: Water (0–10m), Diesel (0–7m), Gasoline (0–5m)

  • Low Power Draw: Operating current ≤35 mA—ideal for solar-powered or battery-driven IoT telemetry.

  • Heavy-Duty Build: IP67-rated thread-mount design (Stainless Steel / PTFE or PA12 / Nickel-plated copper).

  • Plug-and-Play Output: Available with RS485 (Modbus), 0–5V/10V, or 4–20mA interfaces.

Description

Monitoring fuel levels in generator sets, construction equipment, or bulk diesel tanks is notoriously difficult. Fluctuations in fuel temperature, aggressive vapor buildup, and heavy physical vibration cause standard ultrasonic sensors and mechanical floats to fail prematurely.

The MQ1000 Radar Distance & Level Sensor solves this by leveraging high-frequency millimeter-wave pulse radar technology. It emits a highly stable signal that cuts through dust, smoke, vapor, and extreme temperature layers to measure the exact distance to the liquid surface without physical contact.

Why the MQ1000 is the Ultimate OEM Choice:

  • Pre-Calibrated for Hydrocarbons: Standard radar sensors struggle with low dielectric fluids. The MQ1000 features factory-adjusted measurement algorithms specifically optimized to track gasoline (up to 5m) and diesel (up to 7m) accurately.

  • Ultra-Low Battery Drain: Pulling ≤35 mA, the MQ1000 can easily be integrated into battery-operated IoT nodes, solar-powered remote stations, or agricultural machinery telemetry without draining the host battery.

  • No Field Calibration Required: True plug-and-play installation. Simply screw the G1.5″ or M30 thread into your tank port and connect to your PLC, RTU, or wireless module.

 

Key Applications

  • Fleet & Fuel Management: Accurate, non-contact level tracking of fuel tanks on heavy construction vehicles, locomotives, and mining equipment.

  • Diesel Generator Fuel Monitoring: Continuous measurement of backup generator fuel tanks for critical infrastructure, hospitals, and cellular base stations.

  • Chemical Dosing & IBC Totes: Monitoring acids, bases, or water treatment chemicals in compact plastic containers.

  • Hydraulic and Lubricating Oil Reservoirs: Tracking oil levels in large industrial gearboxes and hydraulic power units.
