The NEW L&J Engineering Model MCG 1800

Process Radar Gauge: SMART FLASH TECHNOLOGY Process Radar

The MCG1800 is a non-contact, loop powered microwave level gauge employing L&J’s proprietary Smart Flash Infrared technology. It is ideally suited for all process industries including chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, water and waste water treatment, food and beverage, and refining, among others. It is the preferred alternative to other level devices which are less reliable and demand maintenance. An on-board program “wizard” simplifies calibration and walks the operator through 5 easy interactive steps.

All Environments
The MCG1800 withstands corrosive, caustic, acidic, or any other harsh environment. Different antenna configurations accommodate various process parameters like surface conditions, measuring distance, dielectric constant of product, and internal obstructions.

Multiple Protocol
The standard unit provides a 2-wire 4-20mA output. Optional outputs including HART, Profibus, Fieldbus and L&J Tankway are available.

Input/Output
Optional temperature inputs and relay outputs are available.

Remote Display
A remote display is available which provides full calibration and programming functionality. This eliminates the need to access the radar gauge by providing an identical display at a convenient location for facility personnel.


Applications:
Liquid level gauging of virtually any corrosive, contaminated or viscous product including:
Oil Chemicals Gasoline Paraffin Limestone Rock
Tar Molten Sulfur Phosgene Pharmaceutical Base Products Chocolate
Latex Polyethylene Titanium Dioxide Cryogenic or Liquified Gases Molten Aluminum
