Two in one level device
Keywords: Level detection, Liquids
A new level device which reportedly combines the simplicity of a magnetic level indicator with the leading edge technology of GWR (Guided Wave Radar),resulting in important user benefits, is the latest product to be introduced by level specialists Magnetrol International.
According to Magnetrol the design of the Aurora level device will benefit users who appreciate a clear local visual check on their level measurement,without the need for an additional loop meter; it can even measure interface and level in a single unit (Plate 3).
The company also informs us that the two technologies, although combined,operate completely independently to provide a total redundant solution, whereby one system runs continuously in parallel to the other. Neither system requires any calibration and only one pair of side/side process connections is required,resulting in reduced installation and maintenance costs.

With a suitable float, Aurora can measure liquid level and interface, the only condition being a specific gravity difference of only 0.1 kg/dm3between the upper and lower fluid. Aurora can reportedly operate in applications where temperatures range from 150°C to 400°C, pressures are from vacuum up to 345 bar and can handle measuring ranges from 356 mm up to 5.7 metres.
The 2 wire loop powered transmitter is available with HART/AMS protocol and ATEX intrinsically safe or explosion proof certification. It can be easily adapted with non-invasive secondary equipment, such as bi-stable switches and/or reed chain transmitter.
Aurora is especially suited for operation on clean liquids, hydrocarbons and other water based media with a dielectric of 1.4-100..
