Accuracy and SIL safety in one level
transmitter
The new Jupiter 200 from Magnetrol is the safest magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter on the market today, with a SFF of > 90%, suitable for SIL 2 instrumented loops as a 1oo1 device
Jupiter is a highly accurate (0,4mm) magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter with repeatable measurement (0,13mm) over a measuring range of 5,7m: this and the SFF of > 90% exceeds the rating of any other equivalent device The Jupiter is a loop-powered level transmitter and simultaneously measures top and liquid-liquid interface levels

Loop powered radar for both interface and level
The Eclipse 707 is the first "radar type" level measurement that is able to measure both the upper liquid level and the liquid-liquid level interface over a 2-wire loop powered connection
No extra cost for SIL 2/3 compliant level switch
The Echotel 915P/W from Magnetrol International is a 2-wire level switch that can detect the high or low level of almost any liquid without calibration: a SIL 2/SIL 3 compliant device at no extra cost
The end user can easily select which primary variable should control the loop signal via the Eclipse look alike menu.
The use of a Moore HIM loop card enables both top and liquid-liquid interface levels to be available as an analogue output.
The Jupiter 200 series direct insertion model can be mounted directly on the vessel or inside a stillwell, bridle or bypass cage.
The direct insertion model is suitable for clean liquids only and handles process temperatures up to +260C.
The external mount version of the Jupiter 200 clamps onto the Magnetrol Atlas magnetic level indicator.
As an external mount model, the Jupiter handles any type of liquid including slurries and process temperatures up to +455C.
The Jupiter 200 series is designed for pressure ranges from full vacuum up to 26.2 bar at +40C (direct insertion models).
External mount models are not affected by any process condition (viscosity, density, temperature, pressure...) but rely on the float limits of the MLI on which the unit is mounted.
The Jupiter 200 performs a continuous diagnosis on the float integrity and electronic circuitry.
It also guards the ambient temperature of the electronics and records any diagnostic message.
The Jupiter 200 is compatible with HART/AMS, PACTware and Foundation Fieldbus communication protocols. Request a free brochure from Magnetrol International ...
