Properties

The high-precision and robust XT-1000 level sensor is designed to provide continuous
gauging of liquid media levels in tanks. The measuring principle used by the sensor
exploits the physical effect of magnetostriction and is largely unaffected by temperature.
Magnetostriction is particularly ideal where level measurements are required to be
extremely accurate, e.g. in the chemical industry.
The level sensor outputs measuring signals in the range 4 to 20 mA. Available in lengths
of 8" to 19' it is compatible with a variety of tank dimensions. It also comes in the
following versions:
Version for installation on a bypass with magnetic float
Version with flange
Version with screw-in unit for infinitely variable positioning of the level sensor
The Ex-approved version of the level sensor can be installed in potentially explosive
atmospheres in which electrical equipment of category 1 (zone 0) or category 1/2
(zone 0/1) are required.
Operating on the digital HART protocol, the XT-1000 HART level sensor is able to output
the position of the first, second or both floats (refer to the XT-1000 HART documenta-
tion).
