The NEW L&J Engineering Model MCG 1800SFI
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.
Smart Flash Infrared
SFI technology provides local display, field calibration with
a PDA or other hand held device, remote calibration, diagnostic field parameters
to anticipate and prevent problems, and remote upload of on-board software
upgrades.
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.
