Level Transmitter Provide Safe, Reliable Measurements Despite Dust

 

Flexar(TM) guided wave radar is an excellent alternative to ultrasonic measurement, which often is limited by dust and small, narrow silos and bins. It is a top-mounted level transmitter using TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology, which provides safe and reliable measurements that are not influenced by fluctuations in density, temperature, or build-up of dust. This level measurement transmitter was designed for use in a wide range of powders, granular and other bulk solids, as well as with liquids and slurries. The sensor is used in process control or inventory/storage applications.

Monitor Technologies LLC has pioneered level measurement for powders and bulk solids for five decades. The experience and market knowledge gained has earned Monitor a reputation for providing high quality and reliable product solutions. Monitor is located in Elburn Illinois, give us a call today and let us put our creative solutions to work for you!

Spotlight: RF Capacitance Level Sensor

TrueCap® MK-2
Advanced RF Capacitance Level Probe

The TrueCap® Model MK-2 RF Capacitance point level probe is designed to provide a superior and stable sensitivity threshold making it suitable for a variety of powder / bulk solids and some liquid or slurry applications.

Advanced features of the Model MK-2 include:
> Automatic immunity to material build-up on the probe by its driven shield design
> Push-button calibration
> Enhanced temperature compensation
> Maximized reliability via smart sensing algorithms like “self-validating” fail-safe protection
> Visible status LED on ordinary location units
> Versatility through a variety of configuration options including: hazardous location version, split architecture design, quick-connect process connection, stub probe, cable extensions, solid extensions, Nylon® probes, Ryton® - equiv. probes, etc.

A practical application for the TrueCap would be to use this level sensor where a residual material build-up on a different sensor would cause a false material level indication.

Principle of Operation for the TrueCap RF Capacitance Level Probe:
The vessel wall and the active probe element establish an impedance reference between each other when exposed to air which has a dielectric constant of 1. When materials with a dielectric constant greater than 1 are in close proximity to the probe, the impedance of the sensing field between the sensor and the vessel wall will change. Once the amount of change exceeds a threshold that was electronically determined during the calibration process, an output relay will either be energized or de-energized depending upon the position of the fail-safe selector on the probe’s electronic circuit board. A change of as little as .5 pico-farad is all that is necessary for the probe to sense the presence of material.
