Measure true level with this
sensor and transmitter
The Signet 2260 Ultrasonic Level
Transmitter and the 2270 Ultrasonic
Level Sensor (photo) provide reliable
and maintenance-free measurement
and detection for nearly all liquids and
types of vessels - from closed-tank
systems to open basins. Suitable for
use in a variety of water-treatment,
chemical-processing and ultrapurewater
applications, these ultrasonic
devices offer more intelligence than
other level-measurement products on
the market, says the company. The
devices can differentiate between
substances like condensation or agitation
and the true, actual level of the
medium, thereby avoiding incorrect
measurements. The transmitter and
sensor have accuracies of ±0.05% of
the measurement range. Design features
include use of a narrow beam
that allows safe installation in limitedspace
tanks and near static objects.
The device can recognize foreign
matter and disregard them to ensure
reliable level measurement, even in
tanks where there are vapors, condensation
or turbulence. Sensors are
available in 4- and 6-m sizes with 1.5and
2-in. threads. - Georg Fischer

The Rosemount 1408H Non-Contacting
Level Transmitter (photo) is
said to be the world's first IO-Link
radar sensor for the food-and-beverage
industry. Dedicated features
include a hygienic compact design,
fast sweep technology and exceptional
radar-beam focusing. Noncontacting
radar is an ideal level measurement
technology for applications
that require stringent hygienic facilities
and equipment. It is virtually maintenance-free,
which helps it to ensure
long-term reliability, in sharp contrast
to legacy technologies. It has a topdown
installation that reduces the
risk of product loss through leakage,
and it is unaffected by process conditions,
such as density, viscosity, temperature
and pH. The compact and
robust form of the Rosemount 1408H
makes it a suitable solution for the
small tanks and space-constrained
skids commonly used in food and
beverage production. The hygienic
antenna is flush with the process connection
that ensures the removal of
process residue during clean-in-place
and sterilize-in-place processes, and
is insensitive to condensation and
build-up. The hygienically approved,
IP69-rated device has a stainlesssteel
housing with minimal crevices
to withstand external washdowns
and ensure cleanability. - Emerson,

Commission radar devices
with HART or Bluetooth
The LCR 10 (photo) and LCR 20 offer
continuous, non-contact level and
flow measurement (via linearization
table), making them suitable for applications
in the water and wastewater
industry, as well as utilities across all
industries. Commissioning is possible
via HART, wireless with the company's
Level App (application) and Bluetooth
on any smartphone or tablet
(iOS, Android). The LCR radar sensor
is suitable for continuous, non-contact
level and flow measurement, especially
in storage tanks, containers,
open basins and pump lift stations.
The hermetically sealed housing allows
use in harsh industrial conditions.
The device has a measuring
range of up to 20 m, and a measurement
accuracy of ±2 mm. It operates
at process pressures from -1 to 3
bars, and process temperatures from
-40 to 80°C. - Pepperl+Fuchs SE,

Access storage-tank level data
from anywhere
Introduced early last year, the Micropilot
FWR30 (photo) is said to be the
world's first 80GHz wireless IIoT (industrial
internet of things) sensor. The
continuously recorded measurement
data can be accessed at any time
and from anywhere via the device's
cloud connection. Communication is
made possible by an integrated SIM
card. Installation is simple and can be
done in less than three minutes. This
