DIGITAL TANK LEVEL GAGE displays liquid level and give alarms if level is out of range.
Liquid level gage for tanks displays the level in the tank with a bar graph and numerical display.
The digital display is connected to a PTFE submersible sensor
located in your tank. The sensor responds to changing liquid level by indicating with a bar graph and numerical reading. It is suitable for almost any chemical.
There are four independent alarm points that can be configured any way you wish. Examples of different actions include buzzer, and stack lights (red, yellow, green) at the tank, and also remote singaling like text messages, email, or wireless communication etc.
The installation consists of simply dropping the sensor to the bottom of your tank, and plug in the digital display. (we have already set the units from the factory)
The digital Level Gage LG–1 can work with any sensor that provides a 4-20mA output. But we prefer either submersible sensors or RADAR for the reasons outlined below.
SENSOR CHOICES
Our Level Gauge can work with any sensor that provides a 4-20mA output. Sensors that can provide this output for sensing continuous level are: magneto-strictive, (float switch) capacitance, ultrasonic, RADAR, and pressure. Of these choices, the sensors we prefer are submersible pressure sensors, and RADAR. (there are some others like optical sensors but they are completely unsuitable)
SUBMERSIBLE PRESSURE
Submersible level sensors (or hydrostatic sensors) determine liquid height by measuring the
pressure on the sensor due to the weight of the liquid above it. This an established technology noted for its high reliability, low installation cost, and simple engineering. It is one of the most popular methods of liquid level measurement. Submersible level sensors may be used in almost all liquid media, from aggressive chemicals to pastes and sludges, providing reliable level measurement in the most challenging conditions.
Unlike ultrasonic sensors, submersible sensors are immune to turbulence, foam, fouling, obstructions. They don’t need to be tuned or calibrated, and they don’t need to be carefully positioned. Finally, there is no “dead zone” to worry about.
