Greyline SLT 5.0 Ultrasonic Level & Flow Monitor

Measure Level or Open Channel FlowUser-Friendly Calibration SystemIsolated 4-20mA (1000 ohm)False Echo Rejection2 Programmable Control RelaysElectrical Surge ProtectionIntrinsically Safe Sensor OptionPlug and Play Relay and Data Logger OptionsSLT 5.0 Level & Flow MonitorUse this versatile instrument to continuously measure, display, transmit and control liquid level in storage tanks and pumping stations, or to monitor and totalize Open Channel Flow through any flume or weir. Mount the non-contacting ultrasonic sensor above the liquid being measured and install the watertight electronics enclosure nearby. Features a user-friendly keypad calibration system, backlit LCD display, an isolated 4-20mA output and 2 programmable control relays.Calibration is easy with the built-in 5 button keypad. The SLT 5.0 offers simple menu selection of measurement units (gallons, liters etc.), calculates volume in horizontal round tanks, or flow rate (and total) through any flume or weir.For hazardous locations, the ultrasonic sensor is rated Intrinsically Safe with an optional safety barrier. The standard PVC and Teflon Sensor is rated for measurement ranges up to 32 ft/10 m, or select optional sensors for flange-mount or applications requiring longer measurement range. Options include 4 additional control relays (6 total) and a built-in 2-million point Data Logger with USB output to Flash memory sticks.Contact Greyline Instruments for specific recommendations in your application.LEVEL & FLOW MONITOR SPECIFICATIONSSCOPE: This specification covers a non-contacting ultrasonic Level/Flow Monitor as manufactured by Greyline Instruments, Largo, Florida / Long Sault, Ontario.
