Temperature Additional Functionality

Some industrial transmitters also offer spot temperature measurement integration that can be used for inventory control applications. They are usually installed at the tank base and integrated using a tank gauge transmitter. The inventory control system in the control room can then calculate volumes that are temperature corrected. Spot temperature sensors are appropriate for float and tape tank gauging while average temperature devices are generally associated with radar or servo tank gauges due to the increased accuracy required. Tank gauge transmitters may also offer the following functionality:• PLC and RTU compatibility• Status indication using inputs and outputs to meters, alarm lights, horns, etc.• Local configuration with or without handheld devices or laptop PCs• Lightning and surge protection • Industry approvals for use in hazardous environments

Communication Protocols

You may already have existing tank gauges installed that require transmitters. Depending on the manufacturer of these gauges, you may be able to use Varec transmitters. For tank gauge, transmitter and communication protocol compatibility, please contact one of our sales representatives.

Connects to most standard tank gauges, such as Varec, GSI, L&J, Sakura, etc. (Varec 2500 ATG shown) Standard external junction box provides four (4) surge protected terminals and eight (8) additional terminals

Includes a 3-year warranty!
