Monitor
Technologies Introduces Florida Industrial Supply as
New Florida Rep
Monitor Technologies, LLC has introduced
Florida Industrial Supply (FIS) as its new sales representative
group for the state of Florida. FIS provides bulk storage
material handling systems throughout the Florida area.
They have many years of experience in engineering /
system sales for the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical,
building materials and plastics industries.
“We feel that Florida Industrial
Supply is a good fit for Monitor and they are in tune
with our plans for the future,” said Scott Bonine,
Director of Sales for Monitor Technologies.
Craig Russell, Owner / President of
Monitor Technologies said, “We are excited to
add Florida Industrial Supply to our family of representatives.
Our customers are sure to benefit from the expertise
that Florida Industrial Supply has acquired through
years of providing solutions to a wide array of markets.”
The main office for Florida Industrial
Supply is in Venice, FL and they have a representative
that specifically covers the southern area of Florida.
FIS also represents Acrison, Cablevey Conveyors, Eriez,
HAF Equipment Inc., Munson, SLY Inc., and Universal
Industries. For more information on Florida Industrial
Supply, visit www.floridaindustrialsupply.net.
Monitor Technologies LLC, located
in Elburn, Illinois, is a leading manufacturer of level
measurement instrumentation, solids flow indicators,
particle emission monitors and aeration devices for
the worldwide powder and bulk solids markets. The experience
and market knowledge gained over 50 years of business
has earned Monitor a reputation for providing high
quality and reliable product solutions backed with
trusted customer service. For more information please

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.
