Compact Admittance type Level Switch

SAPCON 'ADMiRE' is a high-end RISC core micro controller based level sensing limit switch, based on admittance principle. With it's specially developed algorithm it tracks the material trend continuously. In association with its 3-element probe utilizing the driven shield principle, it compensates for material build-up and thus it is immune to material build-up to a much larger extent. Simple push button type - hassle-free - calibration renders the unit installation and commissioning much easier. Fail safe selection and Cover/Uncover delays are settable any time while the device is in use. Available output options are PNP-NO and SPDT change-over relay. Power options are 10 to 55 VDC for PNP/NO and 85 to 265 VAC 50/60Hz for SPDT changeover type. SPDT with AC operation is also available in Flameproof enclosure.

Features:
• Easy to calibrate, using a push-button.
• Active build-up compensation algorithm - immunity against material build-up.
• Temperature stable circuitry - drift free reliable switching operation.
• Compact size and short insertion length, ideal for use in constricted places
• Low maintenance with no moving parts.
• Modular construction, so low down time.
• Driven shield system. Can tolerate certain amount of coating.
• Easy installation with switches and one bi-color LED.
• Selectable fail-safe condition (maximum/minimum)
• Configurable probe covered and/or uncovered delay.
• Fail safe PNP-NO output for DC and Changeover SPDT relay output for AC operation

System Description:
The sense and ground element of the probe form the electrodes of a capacitor with the service material as the dielectric. When the probe is not covered, the dielectric is that of air, whereas when covered, it is that of the service material. A change in the physical level of the material causes a change in the dielectric media between the two electrodes, thus causing a change in the measured capacitance. Using its three electrode sensing element, Ad Mire calculates the admittance of the capacitor being formed by the material. Ad Mire tracks the maximum and minimum values of the admittance change and thus tracks the status of material. If Ad Mire is operated in OPTIMIZATION mode, then it will give material by observing "material falling - admittance lowering" and "material rising - admittance increasing" trend, which will be guided by the calibration time set-point material to admittance relation. This continuous compensation will give correct switching output even when build-up is way too thick. When operated as normal level limit switch, it will give switching output as per above and below calibration time material to admittance setting.

Level Transmitter

The MPILC series is a microprocessor based level detection assembly designed to withstand the acute environment conditions and give you accurate detection of service material level in your process unit. This continuous level indicator can be used for any solid or liquid that has a homogenous composition and a stable dielectric value.
The MPILC system has a microprocessor which checks the complete system and itself before validating the signal. A flashing green LED serves as heartbeat to indicate a healthy system. In the event of occurrence of a system fault such as incorrect wiring, open or short sensor connection, failure of probe insulation, improper grounding or electronic insert failure, the heartbeat stops, fault LED glows, display indicates “Err--“ and the relay contacts revert to their fail-safe condition.
The MPILC continuous level measurement system uses a two-wire Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) for interference-free signal transmission between probe and evaluation unit. Complete indication system is checked before each measurement. The system has an auto-compensation for temperature drift in the vicinity of the per-amplifier.

Elixir Liquid Level Switch

Elixir liquid level Switch which consumes low power and can be used for liquids up to 10000 cP and is suitable up to temperature limits of 200°C. This single-point liquid indicator is extremely compact making it suitable for constricted places.

Elixir level switch uses the RISC Core micro-controller technology which makes it reliable & more accurate for level detection of any liquid or slurry (even highly viscous up to 10,000 cP). The instrument has an adjustable switching delay for covered and uncovered conditions. The electronics is integral with the fork and can be mounted in different ways such as top or side mounting. If the use is in hazardous area, you could choose the Flame proof version. You also have the flexibility of choosing the insertion length.

Elixir has no moving parts and is not affected by the turbulence in the tank, floating particles, suspensions or gas bubbles. This makes it a superior choice over the traditional float switches. If the liquid/slurry service material is very viscous, Elixir is the instrument of choice. The instrument neither requires adjustments nor is dependent on the position, thus making it the best option for liquid level switching in small tanks, pipes and mixing tanks.

Applications:
You can use Elixir for level detection of all types of liquids in storage tanks, mixing tanks and pipe lines having temperature up to 200°C and viscosity up to 10,000 cP and density greater than 0.7 gm/cc. Elixir is suitable for most of the applications, where traditional float switches were previously used and for liquids, which are sticky, corrosive, agitated, splashing and foaming.

Principle:
A specially shaped tuning fork is kept vibrating by piezoelectric elements at a set frequency. The frequency of the fork changes when the tines are immersed in the liquid. The change in the frequency is detected and used for switching a relay. The output contacts of the relay can in turn be used for annunciation or control.

Principle:
A low AC voltage is applied between the probe electrode and the tank wall (or reference electrode in case of insulated tank). When the water/liquid comes in contact with the electrode tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the tank wall/reference electrode. This current is sensed, amplified and made to operate a relay whose contacts in turn can be used for annunciation/control.

Capacitance Level Switch

The SLC series level limit switch can be used for detection of solids that are fine/coarse or in bulk. This level measurement switch can also be used for liquids including water. SLC series is also used with liquids that are sticky/non-sticky corrosive or non-corrosive for switching conveyors off, indicating empty tank condition, preventing pumps for running dry and for detecting the separation layers accurately.

The SLC series capacitance based level switch has been used by many of our clients successfully in the Cement, Plastic, Power, Food, Chemicals, Fertilizer, Sugar, Detergent and many other industries

SLC series consists of an evaluation unit, an electronic insert and the probe. The probe can be mounted form the top or side of the vessel. The probe system comprises a sense electrode which is insulated from the metallic tank by means of a suitable insulator. The sense electrode and the vessel wall serve as the two electrodes of a capacitor with the service material as the dielectric. A change in material level causes a change in the dielectric, which in turn causes the value of this tank capacitor to change.

An accurate measurement of this change causes an indirect measure of level of the material in the tank. The electronic insert measures the change of capacitance accurately by using Radio Frequency (R.F.) technique. The change is converted to a DC voltage variation, which is transmitted to the evaluation unit via a 3-core UN-screened cable for further processing. The processed signal is used to energize or DE-energize a relay whose output contacts are available for annunciation or control.

Salient Features:
You can calibrate the level limit evaluation unit far away from the probe. This level switch uses ordinary 3 core cable for interconnecting the electronic insert with the evaluation unit. A variety of built in multi-point evaluation units is available to reduce the number of discrete controllers thereby reducing the overall cost. The fail-safe high/low selection feature is available as a standard. This systems is economical to install and you can even have it in circular enclosures for your specific requirements.
