Radar Level Gauge has Graphical LCD Display

L and J Engineering has released the Evo 2600 radar gauge, which, designed to be an innovative, easy to handle and reliable radar level gauge, can be used in a wide variety of applications. Supporting a variety of digital protocols and analogue outputs, the Evo 2600 can be used in a number of applications, including powder and bulk solids, petroleum, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, paraffin, molten sulphur, phosgene, latex, polyethylene, limestone rock, liquefied gases and so on.

The radar level gauge uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology operating in the 26GHz frequency band to ensure that it delivers high quality precision with +/-3mm standard accuracy. One of the Evo 2600's new features is the new E.wave graphical LCD display. This display provides a vast array of detailed information for the user, including level, temperature, discrete status and a magnitude of diagnostics. In the case of special applications or circumstances, it provides a graphical profile of the user's tank to ensure there are no unforeseen obstructions or intrusions in any level gauging applications.

The E.wave allows users to fine tune the radar unit to cancel out disturbances in the tank. All programmed and processed information can also be displayed on the radar's E.wave display. The Evo 2600 uses L and J's E.cal setup wizard to assure setup of the radar gauge in minutes, without violating explosion-proof environments. As with all the L and J's level-gauging products, the Evo 2600 is configured via infrared technology by using the MCG 2150 handheld infrared calibrator.

There is also an optional ground-level display unit that allows users to program and setup the radar gauge at ground level without having to climb the tank. By configuring the radar with the handheld infrared calibrator, there is no need to violate the explosion-proof environment by removing the cover. L and J Engineering also provides antenna configurations for different applications, with antenna options for the Evo 2600 including conical horn antenna and parabolic antenna.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
