5ANGS03044 8" R3D REMOTE READY DIAL FOR PCB SENSOR LESS MODULE - BLACK AND WHITE IN COLOR

The Magnetoresistive Magnetel® Dial is a magnetically-driven, voltage output sender. These dials are utilized on applications where direct reading plus anelectrical signal to a remote fuel level monitor are required. General Information & Features In the area of LP gas measurement, a magnetic drive feature is important because the fluid is stored under pressure. A magnetic drive allows a signal from the float mechanism inside the tank to be transmitted through a solid, non-magnetic bulkhead without the necessity of dynamic seals or pressure-type conductors. Previous designs of liquid level gauges for magnetically driven dials which produced an electrical output signal had the disadvantages inherent in using variable resistors with a wiper arm contact. There has been a need for a more reliable and simplified design for these LP gas liquid-level gauges that would provide an electrical output related to the liquid level in the vessel. Magnetoresistance is a solid state technology with no moving contacts. Magnetoresistance is the property of a material to change the value of its electrical resistance when an external magnetic field is applied. Microchip technology converts the resistance change to a useable voltage signal. The MR Magnetel® Dial is advantageous in that it can be used as a retrofit on existing vessels to provide an electrical output that can be utilized for remote monitoring of tank levels. With remote monitoring of tank levels, distributors of LP gas will be able to more efficiently plan deliveries to various consumers.
