Bypass Level Indicators (BNA model): These devices measure liquid levels using float and follower technology. They are externally mounted, featuring a rugged design and resistance to visual obstructions from cloudy or dirty media. The indicators utilize red/white rollers with bar magnets for visual level display without external power. Operating limits include temperatures from -196°C to +450°C, pressures from vacuum to 400 bar, and densities ≥ 340 kg/m³.BypassLevelIndicators(BNAmodel):Thesedevicesmeasureliquidlevelsusingfloatandfollowertechnology.Theyareexternallymounted,featuringaruggeddesignandresistancetovisualobstructionsfromcloudyordirtymedia.Theindicatorsutilizered/whiterollerswithbarmagnetsforvisualleveldisplaywithoutexternalpower.Operatinglimitsincludetemperaturesfrom-196°Cto+450°C,pressuresfromvacuumto400bar,anddensities≥340kg/m³.
Magnetic Float Switches (FLS model): Based on the float principle, these switches feature individual contacts for each monitored level. A buoyant float with a built-in magnetic system actuates reed contacts through the guide tube wall. The switching operation is magnetic and non-contact, ensuring wear resistance and no power supply requirement. They offer multiple switch points with SPST or SPDT changeover contacts.MagneticFloatSwitches(FLSmodel):Basedonthefloatprinciple,theseswitchesfeatureindividualcontactsforeachmonitoredlevel.Abuoyantfloatwithabuilt-inmagneticsystemactuatesreedcontactsthroughtheguidetubewall.Theswitchingoperationismagneticandnon-contact,ensuringwearresistanceandnopowersupplyrequirement.TheyoffermultipleswitchpointswithSPSTorSPDTchangeovercontacts.
Float Level Transmitters (Reed Chain, FLR/FLM models): Designed for continuous measurement of fluid levels. A float with an integrated magnet moves along a guide tube containing reed switches. A resistor chain generates an analog signal (e.g., 4-20mA, HART, Field Bus, Profibus PA) proportional to the float's position. These products offer measuring ranges from 100mm to 25000mm and resolutions up to 5mm.FloatLevelTransmitters(ReedChain,FLR/FLMmodels):Designedforcontinuousmeasurementoffluidlevels.Afloatwithanintegratedmagnetmovesalongaguidetubecontainingreedswitches.Aresistorchaingeneratesananalogsignal(e.g.,4-20mA,HART,FieldBus,ProfibusPA)proportionaltothefloat'sposition.Theseproductsoffermeasuringrangesfrom100mmto25000mmandresolutionsupto5mm.
Core Technologies: The company's core involves float principle-based magnetic transmission for reliable, non-contact level measurement. Furthermore, it develops FDT-based Device Type Managers (DTMs) to support FDT3 specification for enhanced IIoT integration capabilities.CoreTechnologies:Thecompany'scoreinvolvesfloatprinciple-basedmagnetictransmissionforreliable,non-contactlevelmeasurement.Furthermore,itdevelopsFDT-basedDeviceTypeManagers(DTMs)tosupportFDT3specificationforenhancedIIoTintegrationcapabilities.
