Explosion-proof magnetostrictive liquid level sensor

MTLS Explosion-proof magnetostrictive liquid level sensor

SFMSE Explosion-proof magnetostrictive liquid level sensor

Overview
Magnetostrictive liquid level sensor apply the principle of magnetostriction to create a new
generation of high precision liquid level sensor, using advanced digital and analog circuits.
Non-contact measurement,long service life, available for various application environment;
needn’t regular recalibration and maintenance; absolute value output,restart no need
making zero; high accuracy, high stability, high reliability, high repeatability etc.,
various of technical characteristics;
Output include Current, Voltage, SSI, Modbus, ProfiBus etc.;
Could measure liquid level and interface level simultaneously.Widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, water and
wastewater, environment, pharmaceutical,and beverage industries.

Note:
!
1. Sensor power supply requirement: + 24 V DC ±10%, to each sensor current input must be larger than 150 mA;
2. The shielded cable keep away from high power electrical equipment, high voltage cables and strong electromagnetic radiation place, etc.;
3. Cable shielding line must be kept in good condition without break line, and grounding.

Installation

SFMSE Explosion-proof magnetostrictive liquid level sensor

Installation (Flange)：

This method is available for the majority of tank measurements,using flange provided by the manufacturer
(or user specially customized flange),screwed the liquid level transmittersdirectly into mounting-hole
on the flange tightly, and then connect flange on the tank.
