A Leader In Level Measurement Solutions Universal IV™ Series Pro and Lite Models RF Admittance/Capacitance Continuous Level Measurement System Features and Benefits: The Universal IV™ Series is the fourth generation RF continuous system built on Drexelbrook’s 50 years of experience in level measurement. The product is backward compatible with the industry standard Universal III™, Univeral Lite™, Universal II™ and RCT™ Series and is the ideal solution for a wide array of applications. A few enhancements to the Universal IV Series include worldwide hazardous location approval, standard display/ keypad, autoranging capabilities and state of the art stable and accurate measurement. Pro Model The Universal IV™ Pro model integrates the RF Admittance technology pioneered by Drexelbrook with the versatility of Cote-Shield™ technology that ignores coatings on the probe and measurement span of 1" to 800'. The Pro is compatible with a vast array of applications: conductive, insulating, and heavy or light coating. Lite Model The Universal IV™ Lite model is the entry level RF Capacitance measurement system without Cote-Shield™ capabilities. Lite models can be used in non-coating conductive liquids and insulated coating applications where Cote-Shield™ is not required. In addition, the Lite model offers a measurement range up to 20' typically. • Proven Drexelbrook level solution for the most common to the most challenging applications • The most versatile level technology for liquids, slurries, interface and granules measurement • Over 125 probe types for a wide array of applications, flex, rigid, wetted materials and process connections • 2-wire, 4-20mA loop transmitter with the widely accepted digital HART protocol • Process temperature from cryogenic to 1000°F (537°C) • Process pressure from vacuum to 10,000 PSI (690 BAR) • Measurement span as short as 1” (25mm) to 800 ft (244m), no dead zone or blocked measurement areas • Proven Cote-Shield™ technology that ignores coating build-up on the probe • Immune to vapor, dust and foam interference • Immune to tank obstructions such as nozzles, ladders, pipes and agitators • Low cost of ownership, no maintenance, and no moving parts to wear out • Stable, repeatable, and accurate measurement within 0.25% of range • Built-in isolation and surge protection for increased reliability • Easy one-time calibration, configure it once and go • Free PC-based HRTWIN™ configuration software for initial setup from anywhere on the loop or a handheld HART®communicator can be used • Standard user friendly push-button LCD display for configuration and monitoring • Integral and remote installation. The transmitter can be integrated with the probe, or for harsh environmental conditions it can be installed remotely away from the probe/vessel • Worldwide approvals: FM, FMc, ATEX, IECEx and CE mark • Hazardous location approvals, Intrinsic Safety (IS) and Explosion Proof/Flameproof for Class I, Div I, and Zone 0 installations • Fully backward compatible with Drexelbrook’s leading products such as Universal III, Universal Lite and RCT series • 50+ years of Drexelbrook

Universal IV™ Series Pro and Lite Models Applications Examples (Continued) Water and Wastewater Digesters Digesters are commonly used in sewage treatment plants to limit access to oxygen and encourage the generation of methane and carbon dioxide by microbes in the waste. Aerobic and anaerobic digestion is used to decompose organic matter to reduce volume. In some instances the Digester may be a floating roof tank. As the digestion process takes place and the bio-gas is generated, a floating roof tank may be utilized that will allow the user to contain and monitor the amount of bio-gas that...
