Ultrasonic digital level measurement systems
PVL launches a range of ultrasonic digital level instrumentation in the UK, as the UK distributor for world-beating products from Solid Applied Technologies
New Omni sensors include the Omni-Fin, a calorimetric flow sensor , the Omni-HD1K, HD1KV and HR1MV inline piston flow sensors, the Omni-L, an ultrasonic level sensor, the Omni-LC, a float level sensor, the Omni-RR, a rotor-based flow sensor and the Omni-RRT, a turbine-based flow sensor.
All these and the rest of the range of Omni sensors can be seen on the PVL website.
Each of the range of stainless steel Omni sensors is rated IP67 and has an LCD display 35mm in diameter protected by tough mineral glass which shows the range of the sensor, set points and programming parameters and includes a super-bright LED alarm signal.
Around the circular LCD display is a programming ring containing an integral magnet which can be operated even when wearing protective gloves.
The programming ring makes it possible to display the parameters (for example set points) at Position 1, and to alter them at Position 2.
Turn the programming ring through 180 degrees, or remove it altogether, and the programming is totally protected.
During installation and programming, Omni sensors provide a commissioning mode which simulates the appropriate analogue signal for the installation.
This is variable between 0 and 26mA and greatly simplifies precise commissioning.
Each sensor has two switches which can be simply set to NPN or PNP, with independent hysteresis of switch 1 and switch 2 plus short circuit and reverse power protection.
All Omni sensors provide 4-20mA variable current or voltage outputs and can act as threshold alarms or as transmitters.
Pressure Vacuum Level of Crowborough is a UK distributor for Honsberg industrial control products and provides fast helpful advice and solutions plus full technical support.
Full details of the Omni sensor range can be found on the website, or contact PVL by phone, and also request a free copy of the PVL catalogue, known affectionately in the trade as the Big Cat. Request a free brochure from PVL ...
