trol system is based on the latest
PLC (programmable logic control)
and HMI (human-machine interface)
technologies and has an integrated
fail-safe system. The company offers
various Metris addIQ packages,
thus allowing every business involved
in solid/liquid separation to optimize
its performance - whether a huge
municipal wastewater operation or
a niche family brewery. - Andritz

This new digital float switch
uses transistors instead of reeds
Said to be the first instrument of its
kind, this company has launched a
float switch with a PNP/NPN output
signal. The model GLS-1000 (photo)
detects the level of liquids with an accuracy
of ≤ 1 mm. The digitized floatmeasuring
principle of the new level
switch is implemented using semiconductor
sensors. These enable
an unlimited number of switching
cycles. Users can define up to four
switch points with a minimum disCall

tance of only
2.5 mm. Thus,
the instrument
reacts to even
the smallest
changes in
level. At the
same time, the
GLS-1000 can
monitor the

Andritz Group
the medium via a temperature output
with a Pt100/Pt1000 resistance thermometer.
With the GLS-1000, traditional
PNP/NPN limit level switches
can now also be replaced by a float
switch. - WIKA Alexander Wiegand

Fast, simple and accurate
on-the-go steam-trap testing
The SAGE UMT (photo) is a wireless,
hand-held steam-trap-testing
solution that enables accurate, onthe-go
testing of steam-trap performance.
SAGE UMT leverages
radio-frequency identification (RFID)
for all your solids processing

technology to
quickly locate
and identify
steam traps. Its
piezoelectric
acoustic and
non-contact infrared
(IR) temperature sensor delivers
accurate and precise detection
to identify steam traps that are performing
in good, cold, blow-through
and leaking conditions. SAGE UMT
integrates with the company's SAGE
Smart Thermal Utility System Management
platform and syncs wirelessly
via Bluetooth to the SAGE
Mobile app to deliver realtime diagnostics
and eliminate manual data
entry associated with offline steamtrap
survey data collection. Data can
be instantly uploaded to the cloud
by SAGE for secure storage and ongoing
steam-trap analysis to support
system-wide utility management. -
