PNT Series, ThePoint-1

A Leader In Level Measurement Solutions Two-Wire RF Series Point Level Switch One of the Drexelbrook RF Point Level Switches You Won't Have to Calibrate Simply install ThePoint Series into the tank and apply power…that's it! Unlike other RF or capacitance systems that require calibration via setpoint potentiometers, jumpers, magnets, or pushbuttons, ThePoint Series reliably detects the absence or presence of material without any adjustments. Intelligent Electronics Save Time and Money • UNIQUE! - NO calibration or setpoint adjustments. • UNIQUE! - Ignores changes in dielectric or conductivity. • Automatically recognizes and ignores coatings to prevent false alarms. Diverse Applications • Detects the absence or presence of liquids, slurries, and granulars. • Capable of high pressures and temperatures. Economical Without Sacrifice • Retains superior performance. • Less maintenance than other technologies; no moving parts to hang up or wear out. Output • 8mA (Alarm), 16mA (Normal) or • 8mA (Normal), 16mA (Alarm) ThePoint Series software continuously monitors the application for changes in composition, dielectric or conductivity, and maintains a repeatable trip point on the probe. Other RF and capacitance systems require calibration adjustments when the process material is changed. Since ThePoint Series recognizes changes in material, it is ideal for non-dedicated tanks that are used for a wide variety of products. Lower Cost of Ownership In addition to lower initial investment, ThePoint continues to save with little or no maintenance compared with other technologies. Further, the sensor can be lengthened or shortened in the field, saving need for additional purchases. Remote or Integral Electronics Unlike many technologies, electronics can be remote mounted to a convenient or safe location
