APG - Model Series MPX-E/R -Explosion Proof Magnetostrictive Float Level Transmitter
Series Magnetostrictive Level sensor provides highly accurate and repeatable level readings in a wide variety of liquid level measurement applications. The MPX-R’s large, buoyant, and robust float allows it to be used in harsh applications where fouling or buildup might otherwise be of concern. The MPX-E’s lighter weight design allows it to be used in applications where space is limited. The fiberglass stem of the MPX-G expands the already impressive chemical compatibility of the MPX. And the MPX-F’s flexible stainless steel stem allows for accurate measurements in environments that are not straight-forward.
- Class 1 Division 1 Groups C & D, Class 1 Zone 1, Class 1 Zone 2
- Highly accurate and repeatable readings
- 4-20 mA, RS-485 (Modbus RTU) output
- Rugged and reliable, lengths up to 32 feet (9.75 m)
- Dual level (interface) measurement
- Tank volume/level, strapping table
Modbus Output
The RS-485 Modbus RTU output makes the MPX compatible with any Modbus controller or PLC. It also simplifies wiring dramatically.
Tank Cloud Compatible
The MPX liquid level sensor is a Tank Cloud slave sensor, able to communicate via the Internet with the addition of an LOE Master sensor or an RST-5003 module.
Durable & Compatible
This liquid level sensor is built to take a beating - designed for high turbidity environments in hazardous locations. It also has several materials options for the stem and floats for maximum chemical compatibility.
