APG Explosion Proof Magnetostrictive

APG Explosion Proof Magnetostrictive | Float Level Transmitter MPX-E/R

The MPX Series Magnetostrictive Level sensor provides highly accurate and repeatable level readings in a wide variety of liquid level measurement applications. The MPX-R’s large, buoyant, and robust float allows it to be used in harsh applications where fouling or buildup might otherwise be of concern. The MPX-E’s lighter weight design allows it to be used in applications where space is limited. The MPX-E Chemical has a chemical resistant coating, allowing for use in corrosive, acidic, and marine environments. And the MPX-F’s flexible stainless steel stem allows for installation in tall tanks without needing a crane.

Extreme accuracy for extreme environments. The MPX-E’s light weight design makes it ideal for applications where space is limited, while the MPX-R’ s large, robust floats and stem make it ideal for harsh applications where fouling or build up might be a concern. The MPX magnetostrictive liquid level probe is very accurate and tough as nails. It's also an ideal solution for taking two measurements: both the interface level measurement and a total volume.

Modbus Output

The RS-485 Modbus RTU output makes the MPX compatible with any Modbus controller or PLC. It also simplifies wiring dramatically.

Tank Cloud Compatible

The MPX liquid level sensor is a Tank Cloud slave sensor, able to communicate via the Internet with the addition of an LOE Master sensor or an RST-5003 module.

Durable & Compatible

This liquid level sensor is built to take a beating - designed for high turbidity environments in hazardous locations. It also has several materials options for the stem and floats for maximum chemical compatibility.
