LST100
Ultrasonic level transmitter for upstream oil and gas
Accurately track and measure one
of the most expensive consumable
on a site – chemicals
Measurement made easy
Introduction
Keep track of chemical usage and stock
– No other instrument is able to monitor chemical levels
effectively in such an easy-to-use, compact device.
Track chemical usage and remotely monitor stock levels
for chemicals in all sites, no matter how remote.
Safe for use at all sites in potentially explosive
environments
– FM approved for use in Zone 2 or Div 2 applications
without a barrier, or Zone 1 or Div 1 using the
recommended intrinsic safety barrier.
Ultra-low power consumption for solar or battery
– The LST100 has ultra-low power consumption equivalent
to a 4 to 20 mA instrument functioning constantly at 4
mA. Using 1 to 5 V output means low power consumption
during all conditions.
– The LST100 is typically powered from a solar or battery
power source. Its low power consumption ensures low
cost of ownership.
