Easy-to-Use
and Effective Material Inventory Management Software
Monitor Technologies’ Silo
TrackTM material
inventory management software provides users with
an unsurpassed, easy-to-use and flexible graphical
interface for Monitor'r continuous bin level measurement
sensors. Silo TrackTM utilizes the SiloPatrol
SE Model SMU smart cable-based level sensors and/or
the Flexar guided
wave radar level sensors. SiloTrackTM offers
both Server and Client version software. When used
together SiloTrackTM Server and Client software
can provide material inventory monitoring and management
capability to an unlimited number of on-site and off-site
users and can be installed on virtually any PC.
SiloTrackTM allows a person
to monitor up to 128 sensors and display distance,
level, volume, weight, %, as well as, alarm, relay
and sensor status. Advanced features include up to
5 sensors per vessel, auto report generation & transmission
(e-mail), export capabilities and auxiliary outputs.
Up to four alarms can be established for each silo
and can be individually named and set to activate as
a high or low level alarm, sensor error and material
reorder alarm.
SiloTrackTM software offers
simple and intuitive operation as with other Windows®
based software. With no prior experience and with minimal
help from the installation and operation manual, which
is included with the software, one should become comfortable
with the operation of SiloTrackTM within
30-60 minutes. It is that simple! Please visit www.monitortech.com for
more details.

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.
