Capacitive Level Meter

URE-1

Capacitive Level Meter URE-1

Purpose

The level meter is designed for continuous automatic measurement of bulk and liquid media levels in technical apparatus, tanks, silos, bunkers.

Application Area

Food, chemical, enrichment and other industries.

Principle of Operation

The operating principle of the level meter is based on the dependence of capacitance between sensor electrodes on the level of the controlled medium.

Advantages

Automatic calibration of the level meter in relation to dielectric properties of the concentrated medium
High reliability
No moving parts
Clear information presentation
Possibility of inclusion in local circuit via RS485 digital interface
Possibility of connecting up to 32 sensors to secondary converter
