Radar offers cost-effective level measurement
The Vegapuls 67 is an affordable 'entry level' device for bulk solids level measurement, designed for applications where ultrasonic or capacitive probes have been traditionally used.
Saving on cabling, for speed of installation or overcoming obstacles like roads, railways, rivers and buildings can be easily solved and save costs.
Remote sites like effluent plants, mobile equipment - stackers, conveyors or tanks are key applications.
Each Plicsradio field transmitter can accommodate up to five inputs: up to three transmitters and two switches; using a combination of one 4-20mA, HART and two digital inputs, (relay or NAMUR) they can also provide power for sensors.
In-head Plicsradio display shows the radio signal strength and data.
Configuration and diagnostics are simple, using the integral Plicscom programmer, or remote via PC using FDT/DTM and PACTware software, which also allows connection to set up compatible sensors remotely.
The devices are ATEX-approved and have a range potential of 1.6km. Request a free brochure from Vega Controls UK ...
