The high-precision multi-parameter probes of the 36XiW-CTD series measure conductivity and temperature as well as pressure, along with the depth of bodies of water. Temperature dependence and nonlinearity are precisely compensated for in the microcontroller by means of a mathematical model. The integrated Pt1000 achieves an accuracy of ±0,1 °C, and the conductivity can be measured at ± 2,5% of the selected range (0,2 / 2 / 20 / 200 mS/cm). The sensors can be supplied with either an RS485 or SDI-12 interface. Extended lightning protection comes as standard with the SDI-12 and is available as an option for the RS485 interface.
Multi-Parameter Probe with Digital Interfaces The 36 Xi W series is built on the latest-generation microcontroller platform, which KELLER has developed to meet extremely high precision requirements and increase compatibility with a wide variety of interfaces. Along with pressure (level) information, digital interfaces also transmit other water parameters such as temperature and conductivity. The 36 Xi W series is based on the proven KELLER 36 X W series using the high-quality 10 L-series pressure transducer. All series X pressure level transmitters feature an RS485 interface, which provide pressure and temperature standard, while versions requiring higher accuraty, temperature or conductivity sensor are available options. Multi-parameter probes fitted with pressure, temperature and conductivity sensors (CTD – conductivity, temperature, depth), are approximately 90 mm longer. Characteristics • Pressure sensor: resolution 5 ppm • Mathematical compensation of nonlinearities and temperature dependencies • Sturdy stainless steel housing (titanium or Hastelloy also available) • Extended lightning protection fitted to the SDI-12 interface as standard • Level measuring ranges from 0…3 m to 0…300 m. Higher ranges are possible using a Sub-Conn® connector • Ultra-high long-term stability
The DCX-16 is an autonomous, battery-powered data collector in a stainless steel housing with a very small diameter of only 16 mm. The housing and the pressure sensor element are completely welded in, so sealing rings are eliminated at this point. In applications where a small probe diameter is an advantage, the logger can record the water level (pressure) and the temperature over long periods. As well as the battery compartment with its double seal, the small-diameter (16 mm) submersible sensor includes electronic circuitry featuring the latest microprocessor technology. It records the pressure and temperature of the medium with high measurement accuracy and resolu-tion, and it uses a mathematical model to correct any linearity or temperature errors made by the pressure sensor. High data reliability is guaranteed thanks to the use of a nonvolatile data memory The various configuration options allow the data logger to be adapted to the measuring point so that only specified events will be detected and stored. Event-controlled recording and loginterval recording can be set independently of one another. In addition, installation data and comments on the measuring point can be stored in the logger. Installation is fast and simple with fixing disks of various sizes which can be fitted as options: these match locking units (caps) from different manufacturers for levels of 1” or more (2” or more with light plummet aperture), so measuring points can be implemented at a fraction of the previous cost. Three versions of the data collector are available: DCX-16 The sensor, electronics and battery are accommodated in one housing. To extract data, the data collector must be removed from the measuring point, and the watertight screw cap that allows access to the read-out plug /interface must be unscrewed. The DCX-16 operates with an absolute pressure sensor. In shallow water, when the influence of air pressure fluctuations has to be taken into account, a second logger (barometric logger, obtainable separately) positioned on the surface of the water must be used to record the air pressure progression. The computer software then calculates the differential pressure or the water level by subtracting the two measured data.

The level monitor model NSV has decisive advantages, especially with bulk goods with low bulk densitiy. Vibrations are induced in a stainless steel fork by a piezoelectric crystal. If the medium comes into contact with the vibrating fork, this vibration is damped.This damping is detected in a pluggable evaluation module and transformed into a potential-free limit contact. In addition to the standard version NSV-8200, the devices can also be provided for vertical installation with an extended neck pipe (NSV-8201). The maximum length of the neck pipe is 3000 mm. The plug-in evaluation module can be changed easily so that the devices are really easy to maintain. Operation can be set for maximum or minimum security by means of a selector switch (A and B). The respective switching status of the relay is indicated by a LED.
The SZM type glass tube level indicator is applicable for the indication of liquid level in small and middle-sized, standing or lying round containers used in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The loads occurring at the installation are absorbed by the outer armature, thus the glass tube is protected against breaking. The outer armature also protects the glass tube against the mechanical impacts that may occur following the installation. It is recommended that the normal design level indicators be fitted on vessels containing pure liquids, while the indicators mounted with cleaning stubs (a bottom, or bottom-top stub) be fitted on containers filled with contaminated liquid. Installation length means the distance between the horizontal centre lines of the two fl anges, that is minimum 370 mm, and maximum 3 080 mm. The glass tubes longer than 1 500 mm are welded. The bottom, and top sealing of the glass tube is by two O-rings each, the material of which is to be chosen to be chemically compatible with the liquid measured. Standard sealing material is FPM, whereas EPDM or NBR are available on request. The level indicator may be furnished with capacitive level sensors - max. 3 pieces over 100 mm - as requested (NAMUR design), which monitor the minimum and/or maximum level or any level along the scale. Anodised aluminium rule with indication of level or volume may be mounted optionally on side of the outer armature. The scale can be engraved on the aluminium rule or the glass tube, or can be printed on a foil and to be attached to the glass tube or aluminium rule.
The NGR is a level sensor that uses TDR technology (time domain reflectometry) and thus can be used in oil- and waterbased liquids without calibration. The NGR’s guided radar uses time-offlight technology to measure electromagnetic pulses. The time difference between the sent pulse and the reflected pulse is used to calculate the level, both as a continuous value (analogue output) and a freely positionable switching point (switching output). Due to its flexible probe that can be changed or cut, it is possible to integrate the sensor quickly into any application. The NGR can work in deposit-forming and foaming liquids. The sensor’s intuitive setup uses four buttons and a display to ensure quick and easy adaptation to the application.
