Level Measurement in
Fuel Barges
MTS Systems
Corp., Sensors
Division's M-Series magnetostrictive level sensors are designed to provide precise measure- ments of hazardous materials being carried by fuel barges as required by the European
Agreement Concerning the
International Carriage of Dangerous
Goods by Inland Waterways (ADN).
Using only one probe for temperature, material and water levels, the M-Series provides an additional safety barrier by monitoring both the level and tempera- ture of the hazardous substance, allow- ing the barges to safely ship high vol- umes of petroleum, kerosene, diesel, oil, LPG and other hazardous chemi- cals. With a non-linearity of 0.035% and a repeatability of 0.01%, the M-
Series Level Sensors are maintenance- free with no recalibration needed and are available in digital and analog for- mats. The M-Series Analog sensor has a gauge order length of 500mm to 12,000mm and an output of 4-20mA with HART-Protocol. The M-Series
Digital sensor has a gauge order length of 508mm to 18,300mm and is net- work-compatible. Both the M-Series digital and analog versions have TEX safety approvals for zones 0 and 1.

DIL Contactors for
Marine Applications
DIL M con- tactors from 580 A to 1600
A are vacuum contactors. The advantages of vacuum technology are based on the closed system of the vacuum switching tubes. External influences such as vibrations or dust do not disturb the switching operations in the tubes. The environment is also relieved of switch- ing gases. The key feature of vacuum tubes is their long lifespan when switching high currents. Even higher currents can be switched with parallel tubes such as the new DIL M 1600 which is used with motors up to 900kW / 1600 A. 2 Q % R D U G * H Q H U D W L R Q R I 1 L W U R J H Q & K H P L F D O 7 D Q N H U V / 1 * ) 3 6 2 & R Q W U R O O H G $ W P R V S K H U H % D U J H V 7 H U P L Q D O V + L J K 3 U H V V X U H % R W W O H ) L O O L Q J H W F head2right $ O O * H Q H U R Q 6 \ V W H P V X W L O L ] H K L J K H I I L F L H Q F \ K R O O R Z I L E H U P H P E U D Q H P R G X O H V S U R G X F H G L Q L W V 3 L W W V E X U J & D O L I R U Q L D 8 6 $ I D F L O L W \ head2right 7 K R X V D Q G V R I V \ V W H P V V R O G W R D O O D U H D V R I W K H 2 L O D Q G * D V 0 D U L Q H D Q G , Q G X V W U L D O P D U N H W V head2right 6 \ V W H P V F H U W L I L H G W R ' H Z 3 R L Q W R I R ) R & S X U L W L H V W R 1 D Q G D O O P D M R U W K L U G S D U W \ V R F L H W L H V head2right $ O O * H Q H U R Q , * 6 I D F L O L W L H V D U H , 6 2 & H U W L I L H G head2right 6 D O H V 6 H U Y L F H 0 D Q X I D F W X U L Q J * O R E D O O \ * * H H Q Q H H U U R R Q , , * * 6 6 , , Q Q F Z Z Z Z Z Z L L J J V V J J O O R R E E D D O O F F R R P P
