Kotron® Model 805 Level Transmitter
Kotron series 805 is an economical but “full function” 2-wire loop-powered 24 V DC, smart RF transmitter. The microprocessor based electronics allow the user to calibrate the 805 with only one small level change. The electronics are housed in an ergonomical dual compartment housing which is directly mounted on top of the probe.
The KOTRON Model 805 operates on a remarkably low amount of current. A microprocessor controls the measurement engine, drives the liquid crystal display, enables keypad operation, controls HART communications and provides a 4–20 mA output.
A separate wiring compartment isolates the power/signal conductors from the electronics compartment via a sealed feed-through. The compartment is designed to maximise ease of wiring and includes surge and transient protection.
The unique enclosure is conveniently angled at 45° to facilitate ease of setup and configuration, and to maximise readability of the liquid crystal display.
Operating Principle
The KOTRON 805 combines the proven technology of RF Capacitance with advanced signal processing techniques and convenient user features. As level rises and falls in a tank or vessel, the amount of capacitance developed between the sensing probe and the tank wall (or ground) also rises and falls. This change in capacitance is digitized for display and HART® communications (optional) and converted into a proportional 4-20 mA analog output signal.
