OCT REED CHAIN TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
Model OES with epoxy
coated aluminum enclosure
The OCT analog transmitter mounts directly to the side of the Atlas, Aurora® or
Gemini chamber, providing a continuous 4–20 mA output signal proportional
to liquid level. Using simple and reliable reed switches that are surface
mounted to a printed circuit board, the unit offers an accuracy of ±0.50” (13
mm). Activated by the field of the float magnets, the transmitter is completely
non-invasive and designed for years of maintenance free service.
Each unit is manufactured with a stainless steel outer tube which encases the
reed switch assembly, resistance chain, and an aluminum or stainless steel
enclosure which houses the electronic module and field wiring terminations.
