The Problem- About 1 million small tanks are instrumented each year with contact measurement technology
- Problem with contact switches is reliability
- Floats stick, conductance corrodes and pressure fouls resulting in process downtime & maintenance replacement costs
|
The Solution- EchoPod replaces floats, conductance, capacitance and pressure level sensors that fail from contact with sticky, corrosive, dirty, viscous or crystalizing liquids
- The EchoPod family is offered in 5 models that provide reliable level measurement, switch & control functions for small tanks up to 2.5m
|
Advantage- EchoPod's unique size, packaging and performance characteristics are designed for small tanks
- NEMA 6P polycarbonate enclosure
- PVDF transducer and 1" process mount
- 2" beam width for restrictive spaces and 2" dead band for optimized fill capacity
|
WebCal- WebCal makes measurement, switch & control configuration easy with pre-programmed menus, tank set-point graphics & configuration management tools

DL14 & DL24 Sensors - Multi-Function- Multi-function sensors that provide 4-20 mA level measurement, relay switch and embedded control functions
- The DL14 has a range of 2" - 49.2" with a 2" dead band
- The DL24 has a range of 4" to 98.4" with a 4" dead band
- Use the DL14 or DL24 when you require measurement, switch and control capabilities in a single product solution
|
DS14 Sensor - Switch & Control- Multi-function sensor that provides relay switch and embedded control functions only
- The DS14 has no measurement signal output
- The DS14 has a range of 2" - 49.2" with a 2" dead band
- Use the DS14 embedded relay control functions to further lower cost by eliminating or reducing the need for external PLC or simple relay control logic hardware
|
DL10 Sensor - Measurement- Single function sensor that provides continuous 4-20 mA level measurement only
- The DL10 has no relay switch or control functions
- The DL10 has a range of 2" - 49.2" with a 2" dead band
- Use the DL10 for small tank process or inventory monitoring applications connected to a PLC
|
DX10 Sensor - Measurement- Single function sensor that provides continuous level measurement with selectable 0-10 voltage or 976 - 2000 Hz frequency signal output only
- The DX10 has no relay switch or control functions
- The DX10 has a range of 2" - 49.2" with a 2" dead band
- Lower cost by eliminating the A-D card or reducing the number of discrete inputs to one
