FLAMEPROOF LEVEL TRANSMITTER · FLEXIBLE CABLE

SE-LX30 Flexible Cable Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter, 200–8000 mm, Flameproof

SE-LX30 is a flameproof magnetostrictive level transmitter with a Φ18 mm stainless corrugated flexible cable for tanks with limited headroom. It measures 200–8000 mm, takes one float for level or two for interface, shows level on a local display, and outputs 4–20 mA (HART on request), 0–10 V or RS485.
