Affordable, 2-Wire Level Transmitter with the performance and features of premium, line-powered systems.

• Two-Wire Loop Powered, HART® - 30 ft. Range (9.1 meter) Intrinsic Safety and Explosion Proof designs and Approvals (pending)
• Easy Set-up - Via PC software or HART Communicator Menu driven configuration via integral display
• OPTIGAIN™ - Automatically ignores most internal obstructions No user adjustments required
• Full Tank Measurement - Transducer can be recessed in a 2-inch ID, or larger, nozzle to allow level measurements to the very top of the vessel.
• Bench Configuration - Eliminates the need to move process material levels for calibration.
• Level or Open Channel Flow Measurements - Integrated software supports measurement in Level, Distance, Volume or Flow
• 2-inch Nozzle Mounting - Compact transducer design allows mounting in any 2-inch nozzle. It also allows for a recessed nozzle mounting enabling level to be read to the very top of the vessel.
• OPTIGAIN™ - OPTIGAIN Eliminates interfering signals from agitators and other internal vessel obstructions without the need to empty the vessel and without operator intervention. Easily ignores pipes and obstructions that are in the sonic beam path.
• User Friendly - Set the measurement range directly in inches, feet, millimeters, centimeters, or meters via the integral display with environmentally sealed keypad. The display is menu driven and can easily be configured without detailed procedures: no cryptic codes, no problems.
• Level and Open Channel Flow measurements - The OPTISOUND makes measurements on level, distance, volume or open channel flow easy to configure. Preset flume and weir characterizations are included in the OPTISOUND for over 80 different flumes and weirs. Custom characterizations can be user defined for flumes/weirs that are uncommon. Each OPTISOUND contains 2 totalizers (one is user resettable).
• Ideal for hazardous area installations - Units designed for either Intrinsically Safe or Explosion Proof installations in Class 1 Div. 1, Zone 0 environments.
