VEGA have introduced a VEGAFLEX guided wave radar level gauge (TDR) with a remote housing option. It uses a special connection cable (in three standard lengths: 2, 5 and 10m -longer lengths available) to a housing incorporating the electronics, programming and cable terminals. The process connection height is designed to be as small as possible, with a straight ‘axial’ and right-angled plug on each end of the connecting cable allowing the most suitable orientation and enabling the unit to be installed in confined spaces.
This version (with rod or cable electrodes) is ideal for applications such as; restricted clearance or low head-room on small vessels and bridles, where housings may be damaged (e.g. mobile tankers), if process vibration is anticipated, ‘ambient’ housing temperatures up to 100°C, or even where sensor electronics are in high radioactive areas. This new version has ATEX Gas Ex certification, standard features include: FDT/DTM, 4-20mA and HART protocol (Profibus and F options), integral device data-logging, backlit display and programmer, as with all VEGA plics transmitters.
