Upgrading Magnetic Level Indicators
Sep 23 2008
(MLI) is to clamp a Jupiter 200 magnetostrictive level transmitter from Magnetrol (Belgium) onto its by-pass cage. The installation can
be performed under process conditions and without any modification of
the installed equipment.
Magnetrol`s Jupiter 200 uses the electro-magnetic field of the float inside the by-pass cage of the MLI to determine the liquid level.
The Jupiter launches a high frequency signal over its probe (maximum length 5,7m; longer at request).
The magnetostrictive wire twists at the position of the float. This mechanical motion is in fact an acoustic signal that will be picked up by the piezo crystal inside the transmitters` head. The measurement
of the transit time between sending and receiving the signal results
in a very accurate level measurement (± 0,4mm). Since the signal has not
lost any amplitude, it is capable of tracking a second float position (liquid interface) with the same accuracy.
When needed, the Jupiter`s sensitivity and float polarity can be adjusted to the used float type via its menu. To eliminate all risks,
ask Magnetrol to perform a quick and easy test procedure.
HART®/AMS or FOUNDATION fieldbus⢠protocol enables the user to
remotely configure the unit, monitor the measurement, identify malfunctions and realize effective troubleshooting.
The unit retains a history of events since its last reset. PACTware-FDT
technology and device specific DTM`s simplifies this even more over your
PC/laptop. The graphical display of the waveform and trending curves
contain valuable troubleshooting information.
Externally mounted, the Jupiter is not affected by process pressure. The
device can handle process temperatures ranging from -196°C up to +455°C. With a SFF of 90,70%, the Jupiter is suitable for use on SIL 2
loops (as 1oo1).
