Description
APG MPX-E/R Explosion Proof Magnetostrictive provides highly accurate and repeatable level readings in a wide variety of liquid level measurement applications. The MPX-R’s large, buoyant, and robust float allows it to be used in harsh applications where fouling or buildup might otherwise be of concern.
The MPX-E’s lighter weight design allows it to be used in applications where space is limited. The MPX-E Chemical has a chemical resistant coating, allowing for use in corrosive, acidic, and marine environments. And the MPX-F’s flexible stainless steel stem allows for installation in tall tanks without needing a crane.
Extreme accuracy for extreme environments. The MPX-E’s light weight design makes it ideal for applications where space is limited, while the MPX-R’ s large, robust floats and stem make it ideal for harsh applications where fouling or build up might be a concern. The MPX magnetostrictive liquid level probe is very accurate and tough as nails. It’s also an ideal solution for taking two measurements: both the interface level measurement and a total volume.
APG MPX-E/R Explosion Proof Features
- Class 1 Division 1 Groups C & D, Class 1 Zone 1, Class 1 Zone 2
- Highly accurate and repeatable readings
- 4-20 mA, RS-485 (Modbus RTU) output
- Rugged and reliable, lengths up to 32 feet (9.75 m)
- Dual level (interface) measurement
- Tank volume/level, strapping table
Modbus Output
The RS-485 Modbus RTU output makes the MPX compatible with any Modbus controller or PLC. It also simplifies wiring dramatically.
Tank Cloud Compatible
The MPX liquid level sensor is a Tank Cloud slave sensor, able to communicate via the Internet with the addition of an LOE Master sensor or an RST-5003 module.
Durable & Compatible
This liquid level sensor is built to take a beating – designed for high turbidity environments in hazardous locations. It also has several materials options for the stem and floats for maximum chemical compatibility.
Application
- C I, D 1 Hazardous Locations
- Storage Tanks (All Sizes)
- Fuel Tanks
- Oil/Water Interface Measurement
- Thick, Viscous, Sludgy Fluids
- Industrial Effluent
- Power Generation
- Water and Wastewater Treatment
