Level Measurement & Control


General-purpose level transmitter

October 2004 Level Measurement & Control

Dupleix Liquid Meters (DLM) is offering Solartron Mobrey's new non-contact liquid level transmitter which combines proven ultrasonic transducer technology with innovative control electronics. Designed as a low-cost, general-purpose level transmitter, MSP422 offers standards of reliability and performance normally associated with more expensive instrumentation.

The new instrument is housed in a robust nylon casing sealed to IP66/67, with inert PDVF wet-sides for compatibility with most liquids. It will be widely used in the water industry for level monitoring in filter beds, reservoirs, storage tanks, and effluent pits. In chemical and other processing industries, it is suitable for most types of process and storage tanks.

Believed to be unique in its class, MSP422 has a built-in false target recognition and rejection feature, of the kind normally associated with more expensive instrumentation. It can be programmed to ignore the effects of stirrers, paddles or other intrusions, avoiding false alarms and improving the reliability and credibility of the reading.

A self-contained, non-contact, ultrasonic transmitter, MSP422 is quick and easy to install requiring only a single mounting bracket above the liquid level surface. Set-up and commissioning is completed in just a few minutes using the simple three-key pad and LCD positioned inside the lid. The industry standard 4-20 mA output signal can be used to drive a display, alarm or closed-loop-controller, or linked into a PLC, scada or computerised control system.

DLM's technologically advanced range of products is sourced from leading global manufacturers. Its principles, based in 12 countries, including the UK and USA, provide optimum solutions in a wide range of industries.
