GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS WIRELESS MAGNETOSTRICTIVE PROBE COMMON FEATURES
THE MAGNETOSTRICTIVE LEVEL PROBE BASES HIS PHISYCAL
Transmission frequency 169 MHz for a safe and reliable data transmission
PHENOMENA ON THE WIEDEMANN EFFECT.
from the underground reliable data transmission from the underground
The main features are: sump tanks
` Very high accuracy and repeatability
Wireless magnetostrictive sensor battery powered
` Reliability and robustness
` Sharp leakage control Intrinsically safe version suitable for 0 zone
` Full stainless steel execution
` Ultra compact design Ultra low power mode

Commonly used in the fuel level control, it allows the measure of the three Data transmission up to 3 km
essential parameters:
` Fuel level line of sight
` Water level on the bottom of the tank
` Fuel temperature Battery life up to 7 years (depending of settings)

The magnetostrictive sensor measures with an high resolution of 0,01 mm No costs for cabling and digging
and a final accuracy of 0,25 mm on the full scale range Fast and easy installation
(Plus version only).
Compact design
Measuring length of the rigid pipe, range from 0,4 m up to 5,5 m

Measuring length of the flexible pipe, range from 5,5 m up to 15 m
