An Integrated Approach
The MCG 8152 Magnetostrictive Level Probes are highly accurate, continuous measurement devices that are easy to install and maintain. The magnetostrictive technology that is employed in the MCG 8152 has been proven to be extremely reliable. The probe is comprised of a wave guide, one or two floats with permanently-embedded magnets, a motion or stress sensing device, and a probe housing. Together, these components measure the level of product in a vessel through a simple physical property known as the Wiedemann Effect. The 8152’s compact design allows for the collection and transmission of an impressive amount of data. In addition to measuring two levels (product and interface or two interfaces), five (5) temperature sensors are embedded in the probe at different levels to provide average temperature measurement of the product. With its flexible probe available in lengths up to 50 feet (15.2 m), the MCG 8152 Level Gauge can be installed in nearly any type of storage or process vessel; aboveground or underground. Mounting options include a 4” riser or a 7/8” NPT connector. Flanged connections are also available.

Level Measurement and Point Switch...All in One
Because of the probe’s packaging and its high degree of resolution (+/- .001”), the MCG 8152 can provide both level gauging data and act as a point switch for process vessels or overspill alarms.

Display and Processing
The MCG 8152 display and single board transmitter actually provides more processing power than many of the full sized computers of just a few years ago. The “Super Smart” on-board processing power gives the L & J devices the capability to manipulate the data locally. The 8152 can store strapping tables and be programmed to accept density inputs from external sources. In addition, the 8152 provides for protocol emulations, virtually unlimited custom programmed features, as well as complete self diagnostics. With a 4 x 20 character LCD readout and infrared programming capabilities as standard features, the unit can be utilized as stand-alone gauge or be integrated as part of a complete gauging system.

Compatibility
Like all L&J Gauges, the MCG 8152 communicates on the standard L&J Tankway. Intelligent modules to emulate nearly any other protocol or highway are also available and easily interchangeable. The unit may also be configured to accommodate temperature inputs (Spot or Average), relays (up to 4), 4-20mA inputs or outputs (up to 2), and four discrete inputs or outputs. In addition to a level probe, the MCG 8152 accepts input from various L&J leak detection sensors (vapor and/or liquid). When used as a part of a multiple unit system, each receiver can be calibrated and configured for any or all of the available options.

Convenient
Calibration can be accomplished via the MCG 2150 hand-held infrared calibrator; eliminating the need to remove the cover from the gauge housing. Current level, temperature, volume, and bottom/sediment, or pressure information is easily accessible, right at the tankside. System configuration and parameters can also be down loaded from an MCG 3900 Series Gauging System. Comprehensive surge and lightning protection is also an integral part of the unit.
