ACCUTECH INTRODUCES NEW WIRELESS INSTRUMENTATION FOR HYDROSTATIC LEVEL MEASUREMENT

Accutech, a division of Adaptive Instruments Corp., a leading edge, technology-driven developer, manufacturer and supplier of embedded microprocessor-based electronics, today announced the addition of a new field unit to its comprehensive industry-leading line of industrial wireless instrumentation.

The new Wireless Level Field Unit is designed to measure hydrostatic level in a vented tank and is available with an integrated sensor or an extended sensor. In situations where the level measurement point is low to the ground or the tank is surrounded by a containment dike, the extended sensor allows for more advantageous positioning of the wireless transceiver without compromising accuracy. This Field Unit is self-contained, fully wireless, and samples pressure at regular intervals based upon user specification.

With a transmission range of up to 10,000 feet using extended range antennas, and a battery life of up to 5 years, these easily installed, FM approved, Class 1, Division 1 Level Field Unit provide measurement and monitoring variables that are often unattainable with wired solutions. The 900 MHz ISM license-free units assure complete security, with frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) communications technology.

Wireless instrumentation products are more easily installed than traditional instruments, in as little as an hour from start to finish, saving up to 90% of total cost. Further, they can be conveniently integrated into a process operation's existing controls. Data from the units is wirelessly transmitted back to a Base Radio that provides input to the existing plant control system.

Accutech's instrumentation is designed to meet strict requirements and to solve tough challenges in difficult environments. Accutech's industry solutions provide businesses of all types with powerful tools to reduce costs, save time, enhance safety, improve environmental performance and cut waste.
