Magnetic, Float Operated, Guided Level Transmitter "FGT"
SINCE 1984
It is a simple and reliable technique for continuous level indication and control of any liquid, chemically compatible with the (sensor) material, unaffected by electrical conductivity, temperature, pressure or viscosity. The float is designed for variety of liquids and its unique self cleaning construction is well suited for even sticky or dirty environments with no float hang-ups.
Outstanding Features :
Continuous 'Float type' analog sensor, in materials, resistive to most liquids. Pre calibrated at factory - no field calibration required. 4-20 mA, 2 wire processed output signal. High resolution & repeatability. Liquid level or liquid / liquid interface detection. Adjustable, Multiple Alarm Relays. Customized lengths upto 4 meters. Intrinsically safe option available.
Construction & Operation :
It consists of a float & guide tube assembly in non-magnetic material to achieve undisturbed flux. A chain of closely spaced glass encapsulated reed switches & resistors are placed inside the guide tube (fig 1). During rise and fall of liquid level, the float moves & actuates a reed switch in the chain, through a magnet system within it and develops a proportional voltage. The operation is similar to a sliding resistance potentiometer. The sensed voltage is fed to the transmitter located in the enclosure for conversion to a signal of 420 mA, for use with PLC / DCS or Techtrol loop powered indicator (TLPI) or Techtrol level indicator controllers TLIC, TUIC and T-SCN (fig 2).

Internal mounting
The transmitter is install vertically from top & can be mounted internally & externally to suit the application. External mounting is adopted to overcome limited space within the tank or where mechanical devices like stirrers operate or where isolation tank is required for regular servicing. The transmitter is pre calibrated in the factory and comes ready for installation.
