Advanced transmitters improve level measurement
Orion Instruments
The Jupiter Model JM4 magnetostrictive level transmitter (photo) is available as a direct-insertion option or an external-mount option on any Orion magnetic level indicator or modular instrumentation bundle. The JM4 provides innovative features to ensure safe, simple measurement in both total and interface level applications, says the company. The magnetostrictive transmitter features improved signal-to-noise ratio, a full graphic local user interface, HART 7.0 (Foundation Fieldbus is available), local waveform capture and an intuitive device-type manager that allows for remote configuration, trending and diagnostics. The JM4 is said to be the first magnetostrictive transmitter to offer a field-removable head, which allows for easier transmitter maintenance and troubleshooting without disrupting the process. Head rotation of 310 deg provides greater accessibility to operate the JM4’s onboard graphical interface. The remote-mount option allows the transmitter head to be attached to the probe via a flexible cable (available in 3- and 12-ft lengths), allowing for easier viewing when spatial constraints exist. — Orion Instruments, Baton Rouge, La.
