Temperature Transmitter

A simple push button operation, ranges and calibrates the FUZ 77 (4 to 20) mA temperature transmitter, eliminating the need for soldering links, potentiometers or PC's. The FUZ 77 in-head transmitter incorporates the latest digital technology to ensure accurate drift free linearisation. It connects to an appropriate sensor and converts the output to a linear (4 to 20) mA output signal, providing a level of performance at a cost that was not possible with earlier analogue types. High accuracy and stability coupled with the flexibility of reduced stock holding and the quick and easy way of bench re-ranging makes the FUZ 77 the ideal choice for the majority of temperature sensing requirements.

Voltage To Resistance Transducer

The ETR accepts a generic Analog Output signal (voltage or current) and provides variable resistance output as a simulated potentiometer. The board performs 64 step approximation with about 1.5% output resolution. For high output accuracy the ETR's resistive array utilizes a number of 1% precision metal film resistors. Their unique configuration allows for over 4 Watts power dissipation.

The ETR is equipped with a Local Override feature that allows for manual output control. Output status is indicated by 6 LEDs in an easy to follow binary code. The input current loop, the Local Override mode and the processor status are also indicated by LEDs.

"Minitwist" - MTFC - Automatic Self-Cleaning Filtration System

“Minitwist” Model MTFC is a fully automatic, self-cleaning filtration system for flows of 0 - 100 US GPM (23M3/H). It removes dirt as fine as 20 micron, and uses a very small amount of water during cleaning process. In filtration mode, flow is from bottomof filter to inside of screen, and out. During cleaning mode, rotating nozzles collect dirt removed from screen by reverse flow, and sends it out through top of filter. Backwash process takes only 5 seconds.

• Fully automatic filtration system
• Self cleaning, using system water only
• Corrosion resistance materials
• Easy to install. Inlet, Outlet and Drain
• It takes only 5 seconds for backwash
• Quick opening clamp for inspection
• Virtually maintenance free

Capacitance Level Control

Thermo Electron Corporation's "CAP" Series Capacitance Level Control is designed for point level monitoring of solids, fluids or slurries in bins, vessels and chutes. The CAP Capacitance Level Control can eliminate spills, material waste, and down time by preventing bin overflows, plugged chutes and empty bins. The CAP Capacitance Level Control works equally well as a high or low level indicator in plastics, food, chemicals, mineral slurries, or other materials.

CAP Capacitance Level Control detects the presence or absence of material by sensing a change in capacitance caused by the difference in dielectric constant of the vessel material and air. To detect these small changes, the CAP series sensors use a unique detection circuit that operates at a relatively low frequency level (6 KHz). Unlike other capacitance sensors, the operating frequency of the CAP Capacitance Level Control series is well below the RF level and not subject to FCC regulation.
