Capacitance level meters

MAE series
MAE series
High precision level meter with intrinsically safe explosion-proof design
This level meter contributes to automation, energy and labor savings

Intrinsically safe explosion-proof level meter that meets the ExiaIICT5 explosion-proof standard. A multi-function amplifier allows you high precision while making various measurements.
*From conductive to insulated materials
*From liquid to powder and granulated materials
*Can also measure sticky liquids

  • For liquid
  • For powder

Can not only measure the quantity remaining in the vessel, but also the interface, and bubbles. And, it can measure a liquid surface with waves on it.

 

Features, keys

  1. High precision
    Thanks to the latest circuit design, this unit offers high precision and high resolution, and it can measure minute changes in the level.
    A circuit is employed to correct liquid adhesion to the electrode.
  2. Applied for the intrinsically safe explosion-proof certificate in accordance with the IEC International Standard.
    We applied for and obtained the latest ExiaIICT5 standard, intrinsically safe explosion-proof certificate.
  3. Can operate in harsh environments
    This meter can make stable measurements in harsh environments at high temperatures and pressures.
  4. Simple to adjust
    It is easy to make the initial settings and span adjustment, using pushbuttons.
  5. Various functions are included to meet different field conditions
    You can adjust the response speed using the delay setting function.
    Since these units can handle a wide range of power supply specifications (24 to 250 VAC, DC), they can be used in any location in the world.
  6. Can be used in a simple configuration since the unit consists of only two components, the sensor and the relay isolator.
