Deltapilot S - Rugged and reliable hydrostatics
Accurate, durable, rugged and dependable, the Endress+Hauser Deltapilot S hydrostatic liquid level transmitter won't let you down: it is designed for the job, outside and inside
With its fully encapsulated electronics and a Hastelloy diaphragm, Deltapilot S offers high level immunity to corrosion, moisture ingress and EMC/RFI signals, enhancing the reliability of the measurement signal.
Whilst Deltapilot S is not used exclusively in the food industry, it has traditionally been favoured by the dairy and brewing industries due to its excellent performance on cold media such as milk and beer.
In addition to 3-A and EHEDG approvals, Deltapilot S has a large range of process connections (including hygienic styles) and weld adaptors, for simple installation in process vessels or pipes.
What's more, the flush-fitted sensor ensures the meticulous standards of cleanliness are met.
Fully modular, the new Deltapilot S follows the 'Evolution' format of the Cerabar S and Deltabar S pressure transmitters, in that housing, electronics and displays are easily interchangeable to reduce stock costs and simplify maintenance procedures.
The display itself has been improved too: the 4-line plain text alphanumeric display offers a large, easy to read screen.
Better still, Deltapilot S now features an easy-to-use and intuitive operation menu in plain English that is easily accessed via three pushbuttons, making set-up, commissioning and even troubleshooting a breeze! It also provides comprehensive diagnostic functions for improved process control such as fault warnings, and as it is encased in a fully-rotatable housing (plastic or stainless steel), it allows easy reading from any angle.
For maximum flexibility, Deltapilot S is available with either HART or PROFIBUS communication protocols and is offered as a compact or remote version - you choose the combination you require! And, for those that need extended functionality such as historical trending (e.g events, alarms and warnings), the HistoROM memory chip option enables the storage and retrieval of important process conditions for improved process control and consistent quality.
