Description
The model FLM-TB magnetostrictive level transmitter is used for high-accuracy, continuous level detection of liquids, also with long insertion lengths.
The model FLM-TB has a local LC display. For particularly low ambient temperatures, the model FLM-TH version can be used, which has a heated LC display.
For approvals, see page 4
Level transmitter with LC display, model FLM-TB
Furthermore, the model FLM-TB and FLM-TH level transmitters with LC display are available as both an intrinsically safe version and a version with flameproof enclosure.
Special features
- Insertion length 100 ... 6,000 mm [3.94 ... 236.22 in] (flexible version up to 22,000 mm [866.14 in])
- Version with LC display for local indication of the level (optionally with heatable LC display for lower ambient temperatures)
- High accuracy of up to ±0.2 mm [0.008 in] or ±0.01 % over the entire measuring range
- Very high resolution of < 0.1 mm [0.004 in]
- Version for hazardous areas
