Robershaw Capacitance Level products

The can be used to measure the level of liquids and solids in a variety of tanks, bins, totes etc. These products are based on measuring the capacitance between a probe and the wall of the vessel. These are also classed as RF ( Radio Frequency) Admittance, RF Impedance level measuring devices. Robertshaw provide Control Units and Probes for Single Point, Multipoint ( two points on a single probe ) and Continuous ( 4-20ma current output). The continuous level measurement can be used with 4-20ma alarms to generate multiple alarms from a single probe. Units are avalable with general purpose enclosures and explosion proof enclosures for hazardous areas.

These units all require a capacitance probe to operate. See Probes

The Robertshaw EXCALIBUR 7000 offers you TWO INSTRUMENTS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

Both a SMART RF capacitance microprocessor based Level Transmitter and PID Controller, this unique instrument provides the flexibility to meet all your level application requirements. The Excalibur 7000 has built-in PID Control with AUTO TUNE to eliminate offset and provide accuracy and stability.

The auto tune feature eliminates periodic on-line tuning by automatically matching control action with your particular process characteristics. This feature alone eliminates many hours of fine tuning to your particular process and the need for, and the cost of, a separate controller.

Patented optional RF anti-coating circuitry eliminates errors due to product build-up on the probe assuringyou of accurate level measurements in all types of coating applications.
