The LV3000/LV4000 Series
continuous level measurement
probes are flexible, cost-effective
solutions for applications involving
liquids, pastes, and some solids.
The built-in (one-piece) electronic
module provides a 4 to 20 mA
output (2-wire) signal that is
proportional to the process level.
Zero and span adjustment helps
account for various media, tank
dimensions, rod lengths, and
positions of installation.
OMEGA™ offers these probes in
several different models. The user
must choose the probe that suits
his or her application and install it
in the proper location. When
submerged, the probe must be able
to produce enough capacitance
variance. The probe’s success
depends on these important factors:
A) Conductive materials can cause
a short circuit between a bare
stainless steel probe and the tank
wall. For this situation, we recommend
using PTFE sleeving on the rod surface.
B) Material buildup affects the
accuracy of RF capacitive
measurements. Additional
adjustment to the probe’s sensitivity
is therefore recommended.
Housings must be compatible with
the requirements for hazardous,
washdown, wet, or dusty
environments. For explosion-proof
environments, the housing may
need to be certified. In addition, the
active probe might need to be
intrinsically safe or have an intrinsic
safety barrier.
The electronic circuitry of the probe
performs several functions, such as
rectifying and filtering the incoming
power, generating the radio
frequency signal, and measuring
the changes in current flow.
