Temposonics Level Plus Model LLE TransmitterTemposonics recently announced the launch of the LL-Series featuring the LLE and LLH liquid level transmitters for level measurement in general purpose and sanitary applications.

The LL-Series joins the existing LP-Series as product lines targeted towards level measurement with the LL-Series focused on general applications whereas the LP-Series is focused on hazardous areas.  There is minimal crossover between the two product lines with the LL-Series having a high speed update rate, compact design, and protocols for machine automation.

 "The LL-Series is a strategic expansion by Temposonics to gain a broader footprint in the level transmitter market place as we are able to offer the benefits of our industrial position sensors in a package design for level applications,” explained Lee Aiken, Global Market Segment Leader Liquid Level. “Level measurement is dominated by historical requirements from the process industries whereas Temposonics is bringing unique features such as fast update rates measured in milliseconds from our board product development in motion control. These speeds cannot be matched by standard level sensors. ”

The Level Plus LLE satisfies the demand for an accurate and robust liquid level transmitter for general purpose applications. The LLE can provide product level and/or interface level in a compact mechanical design. The LLE can also be ordered with an optional temperature measurement of a straight RTD output. There is no requirement for scheduled maintenance or recalibration for the expected 10 year life of the sensor. The LLE liquid level transmitter can be mounted on most tanks offering NPT and RF flanged connections from 3/4 to 4 inches. The LLE also offers a variety of outputs including analog, CANbus, SSI, and IO-Link. Included in the model number is the selection of float, cable, and stop collar options. The single model offers everything needed for level measurement in a variety of general purpose applications.

MEASURING TECHNOLOGY

Temposonics LLH Level Transmitter TechnologyThe absolute, linear position sensors provided by Temposonics rely on the company’s proprietary Temposonics® magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness. Each Temposonics® position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on
the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the magnetic fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability.
