Solvent tank measurement issue
Thread Content
One of the solvent tanks is equipped with a magnetostrictive level gauge, and it has alarm functions for high, low, very high, and very low liquid levels. If it is desired to add alarms for very high and very low levels, how can this be achieved? Is it necessary to install separate float switches or fork-type level switches?
Is your magnetostrictive level gauge installed on the side or at the top? If it is installed on the side, a magnetic level switch can be added； As for the top-mounted type, it’s as you said.
Yes, in the case of a side-mounted installation, a magnetic level switch can be used.
What was said above is all correct; in the case of a top-mounted installation, using fork-type limit switches will work for high/low settings.
With DCS, a high-alarm setting can be configured in the configuration; when a signal is sent to the DO point, a level switch can be used in the absence of DCS
If it is installed at the top, how should the level switch be installed? Are there any specific installation diagrams? Sharing it. The top-mounted installation method generally uses float or fork-type level gauge switches; but is a magnetic level switch the only option for side-mounted installations?
