ThePoint - Point Level Switch

Overview

One of the Drexelbrook RF Point Level Switches You Won't Have to Calibrate

Simply install ThePoint into the tank and apply power …that's it!  Unlike other RF or capacitance systems that require calibration via setpoint potentiometers, jumpers, magnets, or pushbuttons, ThePoint series reliably detects the absence or presence of material without any adjustments.

ThePoint series software continuously monitors the application for changes in composition, dielectric or conductivity, and maintains a repeatable trip point on the probe.  Other RF and capacitance systems require calibration adjustments when the process material is changed.  Since ThePoint recognizes changes in material,it is ideal for non-dedicated tanks that are used for a wide variety of products.

Lower Cost of Ownership
In addition to lower initial investment, ThePoint continues to save with little or no maintenance compared with other technologies.  Further, the sensor can be lengthened or shortened in the field, saving need for additional purchases. 

Universal Power Supply
ThePoint electronics use a universal power supply module that can be powered from a 19 to 253 Vac or 19 to 55 Vdc supply without moving jumpers.

Remote or Integral Electronics
Unlike many technologies, electronics can be remote mounted to a convenient or safe location

Intelligent Electronics Save Time and Money
• UNIQUE! - NO calibration or setpoint adjustments.
• UNIQUE! - Ignores changes in dielectric or conductivity.
• Automatically recognizes and ignores coatings to prevent false alarms.

Diverse Applications
• Line Powered and Two-Wire
• Manual Calibration Selectable
• Detects the absence or presence of liquids, slurries, and granulars.
• Capable of high pressures and temperatures.

Economical Without Sacrifice
• Retains superior performance.
• Less maintenance than other technologies; no moving parts to hang up or wear out.
