Modular electronic differential pressure transmitter APM-2
is applicable to hydrostatic measure of level in closed
tanks, density or phase boundary.
The measuring system consists of 3 separate modules –
central unit and two absolute pressure transmitters. Level
is calculated in central unit basing on measurement from
two pressure transmitters. High pressure transmitter
measures hydrostatic pressure of liquid in tank, low
pressure transmitter measures pressure of gases above
the liquid. Differential pressure is calculated in the central
unit. With default settings of central unit function of high
pressure transmitter is designed for transmitter directly
connected with central unit (PC1). User can change this
assignment to second transmitter by changing
configuration in central unit in local menu or via HART
protocol. Measuring points can be several dozen meters
apart.
The casing of central units is made of aluminium alloy
cast or stainless steel with degree of protection IP66 or
IP67 equipped with local display and buttons forconfiguration.
