Level Star 5
The Level Star provides the ability to convert level measurement to enable
the contents of a vessel to be displayed in volume, along with control
functions, for a complete range of vessel shapes. Also, available within the
unit is a customised 32-point calibration routine which permits the
calculation of volume in non - standard vessels.
The Level Star 5 can measure from 0.12 m to 40 m from the face of the
transducer to the surface being monitored, dependent on the transducer used.
The Level Star 5 can show details of
level , space , distance, units of volume
or the average of two points of measurement on the display.
The five user-definable relays with individual setpoints can be programmed
to activate devices such as pumps or other control equipment.
The 4-20 mA output is fully programmable to provide an output relative to
level , space, distance or volume of either point, when two points are being
measured or the average of two points of measurement. The optional mA
Input can be used to connect devices such as pressure transducers so that the
features of the Level Star 5 can be used in applications where ultrasonic
transducers are unable to operate.
