The INTEMPCO LTX10 Sanitary series are highly reliable
and microprocessor based RF level sensors designed to
measure tank levels of conductive and non-conductive
liquids in metal tanks. LTX10 sensors measure the change
in capacitance that occurs as the tank level changes and
outputs a standard loop-powered 4-20mA signal. After
calibration any change in level is recognized and converted
to an analog 4-20mA signal. LTX10 sensors use very
high frequency and very low amplitude sensing circuitry to
greatly minimize the effects of coating on the sensing
probe.
The LTX10 includes a standard 4-20 mA loop powered LTX
transmitter housed in a rugged enclosure, a 1/2 inch
diameter rigid probe for ranges up to 20 feet and a polished
stainless Tri-Clamp. Probe material is SS316, supplied
bare or PFA jacketed. The LTX10 is designed for tanks
which have available Tri-Clamp connection. Other sanitary
fittings are available. Consult factory.
LTX10 can be used in many tough sanitary applications.
This level sensor is shock resistant and very rugged. There
are no moving parts. PFA jacketed probe can withstand
temperatures of up to 200°C and pressures to 500 psi.
The stainless steel enclosure is very rugged and NEMA 4X
rated. Caustic washdown is not a problem.
Optional, remote mounted DIN Rail transmitter is available,
which can be connected to the level sensor via a
3- conductor cable up to 1000 ft (300m) long. The calibration
is accomplished via four push buttons, located on the
transmitter.
