Shipboard Liquid-Level

Sensor Offered By

Tecnomatic Controls

A sturdy liquid-level sensor and transmitter from Tecnomatic Con- trols Ltd. in Britain is said to with- stand the rigors of shipboard and rig applications. Constructed of stain- less steel and monel (a nickel-base alloy), the Series 200 is completely seawater, oil and chemical resistant, and its transducer is fully submersi- ble. Adjustments to "zero" and "range" are made remotely, without removing the sensor from its loca- tion.

The instrument continuously measures the level of liquid in a tank or reservoir and provides an electrical output. Mounting adapta- bility makes it usable on shipboard oil and ballast tanks and for a wide range of industrial applications.

The sensor employs the well prov- en technology of a pressure-sensi- tive capsule and a linear variable differential transformer. Mechani- cally coupled, they translate the pressure on the capsule into an elec- trical output which, in turn, is am- plified and transmitted in the form of a 4-20 mA full-scale signal.

The signal may be used for indi- cation, alarm and control functions.

Power supply is 18-30 V DC and operating temperature is -10° C to + 85° C.
