Ultrasonic levelmeter LB520
Ultrasonic levelmeter LB520
LB520 is a 2-wire loop powered ultrasonic transmitter for level, volume and flow monitoring of liquids in open channels, storage vessels and simple process vessels. The LB520 is ideal for level monitoring in the water and wastewater industry and chemical storage vessels. The range of LB520 is 6 or 12 m (20 or 40 ft). Using Auto False-Echo Suppression for fixed obstruction avoidance, as well as an improved signal-to-noise ratio and improved accuracy of 0.15% of range or 6 mm (0.25"), the LB520 provides unmatched reliability. LB520 includes NG signal processing from the field-proven Probe and incorporates new echo processing features and the latest micro-processor and communications technology. The LB520 offers two communications options: HART or PROFIBUS PA (Profile version 3.0, Class B). The transducer on the Probe LU is available as ETFE or PVDF to suit the chemical conditions of your application. As well, for applications with varying material and process temperatures, the LB520 incorporates an internal temperature sensor to compensate for temperature changes
