Gems' DCL 9300 digitally compensated level transmitter can provide users with installation and level readings.

An on-board microprocessor compensates for changes in specific gravity caused by temperature fluctuation.

This means the unit can be provided factory set to a range specified by the user, after which no further calibration is required.

Just locate it at the required depth and measure true level immediately.

An adjustable range option is available.

Users can set the range via a user interface module and PC compatible software.

Ranging of 10:1 of nominal range is achievable.

On board calibration data lets the unit be maintained or re-ranged without removal from the installation, which reduces down-time and eliminates calibration via a dead weight tester, which is normally time consuming.

The 20mm diameter makes the units suitable for where access is restricted.

Triple sealing together with stable sensors ensures long term, reliable operation.

The unit has integral lightning protection to IEC 6100-4-5 level 4 giving +/-4kV surge protection, while a polyurethane cable with Kevlar strain relief eliminates damage caused by abrasion and cable stretch.

It has a 0.1% total error band of 0.1% over -5 to +45C.
