Probe Technology <br /> How the Probe Works Probe Design Features <br /> A position-sensing Transducer is the heart of <br /> the Series 950 Tank Monitoring Syste-n.The #950 Cap <br /> probe operates on a magnetostrictive wire, Aluminum cap with Kwik-Lock linkage fits <br /> enclosed in the Transducer housing and standard 4"riser pipe. Cap includes a slack <br /> guide tube.The Transducer pulse reaches chain for raising and lowering the entire <br /> the product sensor and returns to the sensor housing and a water-tight wiring <br /> Transducer where the signal length is cable plug.#950 Cap supplied with all units. <br /> interpreted and sent to the Tank Monitor. <br /> This extremely reliable Transducer insures #950 Adapter <br /> probe accuracy to±.001 inches. 4" Brass adaptor is included with probe <br /> The unique Al �' probe design assembly. <br /> reduces errors caused by changes in the <br /> specific gravity, product temperature and Probe Housing Cap <br /> physical distance . . .requiring no field Aluminum cap fastened with stainless steel <br /> recalibration. screws includes an eyebolt for the slack <br /> chain and a second water-tight wiring plug. <br /> Although this probe technology is new to the This cap seals the Transducer housing <br /> service station environment, the design has portion of the probe. <br /> been an integral part of the bulk storage <br /> industry for many years.The time-proven Housing Tube <br /> reliability and accuracy of magnetostrictive <br /> probe technology is now available to the Aluminum construction protects product <br /> petroleum retail marketer. sensor float from tank turbulence during bulk <br /> deliveries. <br /> i <br /> Transducer Housing <br /> The aluminum housing,sealed with Viton <br /> O-rings, contains the electronics that com- <br /> municate to the Series 950 Tank Monitor. <br /> f <br /> Guide Tube <br /> "- Stainless steel construction protects the <br /> magnetostrictive wire and provides an <br /> accurate path for the product and water <br /> a sensor floats. The guide tube also contains <br /> the temperature Thermistor and serves as a <br /> conductor to compensate for temperature <br /> stratification. <br /> Spacer Ring <br /> Cast aluminum ring centers the probe in the <br /> 4" riser pipe to insure consistent probe <br /> location. <br /> Product Sensor <br /> Riser Pipe Cap and Adaptor Molded Nytrophyl float is sensitive to level <br /> included at no additional cost. changes of .001 inches, providing the most <br /> accurate and reliable measurements. <br /> Water Sensor <br /> Molded Nytrophyl float is used to measure <br /> water level and signal high-water alarms. <br /> Probe Base Plate <br /> Molded Delrin' supports the probe on the <br /> bottom of the tank. <br /> Delrin is a,'R)Trademark of DuPont. <br />
