E4 Modulevel®

Product catalog summary
Description: The E4 Modulevel® is a loop-powered, two-wire liquid level displacer transmitter that utilizes buoyancy principles to convert liquid level changes into a stable output signal. It features a mechanical design with a vertical in-line configuration for easy installation and is available in various configurations for different applications. It includes microprocessor-based electronics with 4–20 mA/HART® digital output and supports FDT/DTM standards with PACTware™ software for enhanced configuration and diagnostics.
Technology: The device operates on changing buoyancy forces that move a core within a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), inducing voltages processed into a usable output signal. The enclosing tube provides static isolation between the LVDT and process media.
Applications: Suitable for measuring liquids or slurries in various vessels and conditions, including those with varying dielectric, turbulence, foam, and high fill/empty rates. It can measure liquid/liquid interface levels and density control.
Specifications:
  • Functional Features: Includes a range spring/LVDT design, easy commissioning, SIL 2 suitability, HART® digital communication, and various field calibration options.
  • Interface: Capable of tracking interface levels of two immiscible liquids and converting them into a stable 4–20 mA signal.
  • Specific Gravity: Tracks changing specific gravity of a liquid and converts it into a stable output signal.
  • PACTware™ Software: Provides a graphical interface for setup efficiency and user-friendliness.
Performance:
  • Level Measurement: Linearity of ±0.50% of full span, repeatability of ±0.20%, and response time of less than 1 second.
  • Interface Level & Specific Gravity: Linearity of ±0.70% and repeatability of ±0.40% of full span.
Agency Approvals: The device is explosion-proof, flame-proof, intrinsically safe, non-incendive, and dust ignition-proof, meeting various international standards and directives.

E4 Modulevel®-1

E4 Modulevel® Liquid Level Displacer Transmitter DESCRIPTION The E4 Modulevel® is a loop powered, two-wire instrument, utilizing simple buoyancy principles to detect and convert liquid level changes into a stable output signal. The linkage between the level sensing element and output electronics provides a purely mechanical design and construction. The vertical in-line design of the transmitter results in low instrument weight and simplified installation. The instrument comes in a variety of configurations and pressure ratings for varied applications. The E4 Modulevel has microprocessor-based electronics with 4–20 mA/HART® digital output. E4 supports the FDT/DTM standard and a PACTware™ PC software package allows for additional configuration, diagnostics, and trending capabilities. TECHNOLOGY Changing buoyancy forces caused by liquid level change act upon the spring supported displacer causing vertical motion of the core within a linear variable differential transformer. As the core position changes with liquid level, voltages are induced across the secondary windings of the LVDT. These signals are processed in the electronic circuitry and converted to a useable output signal. The enclosing tube acts as a static isolation barrier between the LVDT and the process media. APPLICATIONS MEDIA: Liquids or slurries, clean or dirty, light hydrocarbons to heavy acids (SG=0.23 to 2.20) VESSELS: Process & storage, bridles, bypass chambers, interface, sumps & pits up to unit pressure & temperature ratings. CONDITIONS: Most liquid level measurement and control applications including those with varying dielectric, vapors, turbulence, foam, buildup, bubbling or boiling and high fill/empty rates; liquid/liquid interface level measurement or density cont

• Range Spring/LVDT design yields performance benefits over traditional torque tube displacer transmitters E4 Modulevel is capable of tracking the interface level of two immiscible liquids with different densities. Each unit is custom-made with a displacer specially designed for the user’s application. This allows it to detect the position of a clean interface or an emulsion layer and convert it into a stable 4–20 mA signal. Contact the factory for assistance in specifying an E4 for interface service. Note that for proper interface detection, the entire displacer must always be immersed in liquid....
