New Liquid Level Sensors

Now Available From Gems

Described In Free Brochure

A new four-page brochure is now available from Gems Sensors Division, Plainville, Conn., with full details on a new line of miniature continuous liquid level indicators. Called the 800 Series, these transmitters provide level indication up to 70 inches in a broad spectrum of industrial liquids and chemicals.

Models included are as follows: The XMP- 800 Series is designed for monitoring corro- sive liquids. It is made of PVC, Polypropylene or PVDF for broad chemical compatibility.

The XM-800, made of brass or stainless steel with a Buna N float, withstands temperatures up to 250°F in oil. Both of these units may be used in conjunction with Gems standard re- ceiver packages, or they can be supplied with lead wires. The third model, the XT-800 is also available in brass or stainless steel, but it can be supplied with a signal conditioned out- put. It is designed to interface with customer instrument panels and control meters, con- trollers, and other remote terminal equipment.

These small 800 Series transmitters provide ± 1/4-inch accuracy; they are available with

NPT or flange mounting. They may be used in hazardous areas when interfaced to Gems in- trinsically safe Zener Barriers.
