Sapphire Single-Point Level System - Thermo Scientific - Process Systems - #1

Text version of the page

Product Specifications Thermo Scientific Sapphire singleand dual-point level systems feature an advanced acoustical design and a continuous self-test to increase reliability and uptime. Available in gap or slot sensor configurations, these field-proven ultrasonic devices perform exceptionally well in aerated, attenuative, viscous and corrosive applications yet require Thermo Scientific Sapphire minimal maintenance. Single- and Dual-Point Level Systems Reliable Level Measurement Designed for both low and high level alarms and spill prevention, Thermo Scientific Sapphire single- and dual-point level systems are available in gap and slot configurations to provide reliable level measurement under demanding conditions. The standard gap sensor performs exceptionally well in most applications, including aerated and attenuating liquids that can be problematic for other ultrasonic technologies. The more sensitive slot sensor is recommended for highly viscous applications or for dual-point usage when the sensing points are positioned more than 18 inches apart. While both systems are highly reliable, the dual-point system incorporates two Sapphire single-point level systems into one enclosure, including two electronics packages. The dual-point system also offers the industry’s best sensitivity with a wet to dry ratio of over 10,000. Rugged Design Sapphire single- and dual-point level systems are built for rugged industrial environments. The variable system qualification time guards against false alarms by accurately determining the continuous presence of liquid in the measurement gap rather than allow a wave or other disturbance caused by turbulence to trigger the alarm. The rugged surface-mount technology increases durability while the continuous self-test circuitry increases uptime by automatically confirming system integrity, including the electronics and the sensor as well as the crystal bond to the sensor body. Easy Installation & Maintenance The housing for both the Sapphire singleand dual-point level systems provides easy access to field wiring connections without exposing the electronics to unnecessary handling, harsh environments or physical damage. During installation, the electronics remain in the enclosure and are safely protected as wire is pulled and field terminations are made. For ongoing maintenance, the manual loop test enables field wiring and control integrity verification without costly system removal or tank filling.
