Monitor’s TrueCap® Model
MK-2 RF capacitance point level sensor is designed
to provide a superior and stable sensitivity threshold
making it suitable for a variety of powder and bulk
solids, liquid and slurry applications. The available
split architecture design is ideal for applications
involving high temperature or vibration. The
probe and electronics are housed in separate enclosures
that are mounted apart for each other. This design
removes the electronics from the tough conditions.
For ease of use, the Model MK-2 has
push-button calibration and sensitivity selection as
well as a built-in automatic temperature compensation
circuit that combines with the MK-2’s microcontroller
to provide automatic calibration compensation yielding
the most stable and reliable RF capacitance point level
sensor available today. In addition, the Model MK-2
provides automatic immunity to material build-up on
the probe by its driven shield design and contains
a universal power supply of 48-240V AC / 24-48V DC.
The Model MK-2 can be combined with
the optional remote calibration module, which allows
you to interface with the MK-2 from up to 1,000 feet
(305 m) away from the sensor using an RS-485 connection.
The module can be placed near other control equipment.
This is ideal if your materials change often and the
material characteristics are so diverse that re-calibration
is required. It is also useful if your procedures require
probe functionality verification on a regular basis.

The
SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design
detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability
to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power
failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”.
The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology,
dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health,
and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids
processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor
failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure
and confirmation of proper operation.
Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction,
motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off
cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous
location models)
A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true"
fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a
catastrophic process problem.
