Product Overview
Introduction
The Thermo Scientific LevelPRO is designed to provide reliable and
accurate level measurements. With
F
OUNDATION
™ fieldbus
, the gauge
also provides users with access to control or program parameters via a host
system.
The gauge consists of a source head containing the radioisotope source and
the detector-transmitter. The radioisotope source emits gamma radiation
that passes through the process material. The detector measures the energy
of the radiation arriving at the detector after passing through the process
material (and vessel walls). The gauge determines the level of the process
material by measuring the amount of radiation arriving at the detector,
which varies with the level of the process material.
Note
This guide contains information specific to applications using the
LevelPRO with
F
OUNDATION
fieldbus
. For information on the standard
LevelPRO, reference the LevelPRO user guide (P/N 717778).
