Loss of Head indicator

Sapcon LOH (loss of head indicator) is a perfect solution of measuring differential level in open channels and is widely used in water treatment plants and filter stations. The LOH series instruments are RISC Processor based capacitance type Continuous Level Indicators with built in three point switching. The system not only serves as a level indicator for conductive/ non conductive liquids, slurries and powdered or fine grained solids, but also offers switching functions for alarm annunciation and/or control application at the set point levels through the built in three point electronic level limit switch. The set points are independent of each other and are continuously configurable over the entire range.

Salient Features:

Latest RISC core microcontroller technology.

Measured level is displayed continuously from -50% to 150%.

Multipurpose 5 digit seven segment LED display for best resolution and better viewing from distance.

Two wire pulse coded digital communication from sensor to evaluation unit.

Supports as much as 1 KM distance between sensor and evaluation unit with shielded two core cables.

Galvanically isolated true two wire 4-20mA proportional to 0% and 100% level is available for remote indication purpose.

Two wire implementation solves the malfunction problems that occurs with various PLC 4-20 input interfaces and thus better suits for higher end automation.

4-20mA loop can handle 700 Ohm loop resistance with internal isolated supply.

Three independent potential free relays providing flexibility of selecting three independent switch points.

Principle of Operation:

The loop resistance can be 1K Ohm for External DC Supply of 24 Volts. In an application, the measuring electrode (sense probe) and the container wall (ground or reference probe) form a capacitor. The amount of capacitance of this capacitor is governed by the dielectric constant of the material between the two electrodes (sense probe & metallic container wall or reference probe or ground). The value of this capacitor is dependent on the level of material, since the dielectric of the material is effective only to the level to which the material is filled.
