Intempco Model LTX50 Level Transmitter

The Intempco Model LTX50 Level Transmitter is compact in design and ideal where installation space is limited or where tanks are small. It is also excellent for mobile equipment applications. The LTX50 can be used to measure level of conductive or non-conductive liquids in metal tanks. In non-metallic tanks, a ground reference electrode must be used. The LTX50 works on the RF principle and monitors level change by converting movement of media up or down the probe into pulse wave form which is proportional to changes in level. The amplifier converts this pulse wave into a 4 to 20mA output signal.

The LTX50 comes complete with housing and fitting, probe, cable or connector and remote transmitter. Remote electronics are protected and potted within a metal fitting. The connection between the sensor and the remote transmitter is made via a 3-conductor cable which can be up to a 1000 feet (300 meters) long. The calibration is accomplished via four push buttons, located on transmitter.

Applications for the LTX50 include:

• Ideal in limited space installations
• Ideal for mobile equipment
• Ideal for all water based liquids
• Ideal in acids compatible with stainless steel 316 and PFA Teflon®
• Ideal in pharmaceutical applications
• Ideal in chemical holding tanks
• On-site calibration may be required
• Not recommended where material dielectric varies due to change of temperature or pressure
