Accurate Level Sensing Solution
OleumTech® designed the OTC Wireless Resistive Level Transmitter to connect and power its flagship line of Resistive Tanks Level Sensors for enabling remote collection of critical tank level data. The self-contained, battery-powered transmitter and sensor combination delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and accuracy, and is made to thrive under extreme outdoor conditions.
All OleumTech Resistive Level Sensors offer industry-leading 3-in-1 monitoring capabilities of product (oil), interface (water), and temperature from a single instrument. Ordering the SM-RL2 and SM-RL2-T transmitter option provides two additional discrete inputs, giving you a total of 5-in-1 monitoring capabilities.
The SM-RL1-T and SM-RL2-T options are compatible with the 1/4” resolution sensors providing API 18.2 compliance for handling custody transfer applications while the SM-RL1 and SM-RL2 work with 1/2” resolution sensors. A single, replaceable battery pack powers both the transmitter and sensor and can last up to 10 years.
Reliable, Scalable, and Safe
The field-proven wireless level transmitter communicates with an assigned wireless gateway within the OTC Wireless Sensor and I/O Network, creating a highly scalable network, accommodating virtually any I/O requirement.
OleumTech wireless level transmitters and sensors are certified for use in Class I, Division 1 (Zone 0) hazardous locations. They are intrinsically safe, designed not to cause a spark and can be serviced without being removed from a process.
Applications
The Resistive Level Sensors are ideal for use as oil level sensors, water level sensors for storage tanks that contain either or both liquid densities. These level instruments are widely used in oil production tank batteries, condensate tanks, water treatment centers, petrochemical and chemical-making plants, wastewater handling and storage facilities, refineries, and power generating plants.
