Point level transmitter
Capacitance Point level switch for liquids
The compact transmitter is used for level limit detection in bulk solids and can be operated in minimum or maximum failsafe mode.
Due to its robust construction, it can also be used to provide accurate measurements in applications with very high tensile loads (up to 60 kN for rope version) or lateral loads (up to 300 Nm for rod version).
In combination with Fieldgate (for remote interrogation of measured values using internet technology), Solicap M represents an ideal solution for material provisioning and logistical optimization (inventory control).
• Extremely robust design for harsh process conditions
• Easy and fast commissioning as calibration is performed at the press of a button
• Universal application thanks to wide range of certificates and approvals
• Two-stage overvoltage protection against static discharges from the silo
• Active buildup compensation for bulk solids with caking tendency (under development)
• Increased safety due to permanent automatic monitoring of electronics
• Reduction in storage costs thanks to easy-to-shorten rod model (for partial insulation) and rope model (for partial and full insulation)
• Two-point control (e.g. for controlling a handling device)
