Concept

ü Most recent update to MCG series of level gauges and transmitters ü SFI stands for Smart Flash Infra-red. ü Incorporates programmability and features of the S, SS, SSI and XL versions with new flash feature. ü Surface mount package. ü Backward compatible.

Configuration

ü User can change any configurable options on the gauge or transmitterü Configure via MCG 2150 Infra-red Remote Calibrator locally.ü Configure via Winflash© or Wingauge© application software in control room or shop area. ü Calibration without violating hazardous classification.

The faster and more convenient transmitter


SMART MEDIA ELIMINATES EPROMS AND VISITS TO THE FIELD• SEAMLESS SOFTWARE UPGRADES• MAINTAIN STATE-OF-ART TRANSMITTER TECHNOLOGY• NO E-PROMS TO REPLACE OR INVENTORY

EXAMPLE• NEWEST VERSION OF SOFTWARE IS UPLOADED WITH THE

CLICK OF A MOUSE FROM ANYWHERE….


SFI DIAGNOSTICS PREVENTS SHUT-DOWN• SELF MONITORING 24 HOURS A DAY• ANALYZE THEMSELVES AND REPORT• PINPOINTS POTENTIAL TROUBLE BEFORE IT HAPPENS

EXAMPLE• LOW VOLTAGE COULD INDICATE WATER IN CONDULET BOX

OR CORRODED CONNECTION


SURFACE MOUNT PC BOARD TECHNOLOGY IS MORE RELIABLE• SMALLER, HIGHLY INTEGRATED COMPONENTS• LESS HEAT GENERATED• STRONGER CONNECTION• FEWER COMPONENTS, FEWER FAILURES

EXAMPLE• SURFACE MOUNT LASTS MANY TIMES LONGER THAN OTHER

METHODS OF PC BOARD CONSTRUCTION


NO BATTERIES ELIMINATES RECALIBRATION• POWER LOSS DOES NOT AFFECT LEVEL INFORMATION IN SFI• UNSTABLE POWER SUPPLY IS ACCOMMODATED BY SFI

EXAMPLE• WHEN POWER IS RESTORED TO TANK, THE 2000SFI IS

READING THE SAME LEVEL AS THE MECHANICAL GAUGE. NO NEED TO RECALIBRATE

• FOR COMPETITORS IF POWER IS OFF MORE THAN 24 HOURS, THEY MUST GO TO FIELD AND RECALIBRATE EVERY TRANSMITTER. IF TOTAL OFF TIME IS MORE THAN 100 HOURS, THEY MUST GO TO FIELD AND RECALIBRATE AND CHANGE EXPENSIVE BATTERIES ON EACH AND EVERY ONE.


ABSOLUTE OPTICAL ENCODING TRACKS CHANGES DURING POWER LOSS

• + 1/32 ACCURACY• NO FEELERS OR BRUSHES TO WEAR OUT• ELIMINATES RE-CALIBRATION EVEN AFTER A POWER LOSS

EXAMPLE• IF THE LEVEL IN TANK MOVES DURING POWER LOSS, THE

2000SFI DISPLAYS CORRECT LEVEL WHEN POWER IS RESTORED DUE TO ABSOLUTE OPTICAL ENCODING. NO NEED TO RE-CALIBRATE


REMOTE MONITORING ELIMINATES EMERGENCY VISITS TO PLANT• LOG-IN FROM ANYWHERE USING LAPTOP• CHECK LEVELS, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND ALL DATA• RECEIVE ALARMS

EXAMPLE• TANK FILLING MONITORED FROM HOME IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL

OVERFILL. CALL TO OPERATOR ON SHIFT CORRECTS PROBLEM

EXAMPLE• SET ALARM POINTS OR OPEN VALVES FROM CONTROL ROOM.

L&JTODAY


The MCG-2150 Remote Calibrator is one of many unique engineering advancements in the L&J product line. It came out with the MCG-1500XL version of the servo gauge, and provided a simple convenient method of programming and calibrating the servo without removing the housing. The addition of the infrared pick-up to the ground level display, added the further convenience of being able to completely program and calibrate the servo at ground level without the need to climb tank. The extreme convenience and simplicity of the remote calibration and programming feature provided a popular selling feature for the MCG-1500SFI.

All of the L&J Gauges and Transmitters are available with built in infrared pickups, and the capability of being completely programmed and calibrated with the MCG-2150 Remote hand-held infrared calibrator. All of the L&J “Smart Flash” and “Super-Smart” version gauges and transmitters are equipped with an on-board LSI microprocessor chip. The power of this on-board processor provides the gauges and transmitters with almost unlimited optional capabilities. Until now setup of these optional features had to be either pre-programmed, downloaded, or jumper selected. With the addition of the infrared pick-up setup and programming can now be done right at the local display without even removing the housing.


ANTICIPATE AND PREVENT PROBLEMS

REDUCED FIELD VISITS - MONITOR FROM HOME

SOFTWARE UPDATES - NO MORE E PROMS

CALIBRATE ONCE - FORGET ABOUT IT
