Controller output options include four trip points which are NPN transistors or relays. These can be configured to control pumps, alarms, valves or serve as input to PLC's and computer interfaces. The DCR series controllers combine with the DST series sensors to provide a rugged and reliable non-contact sensor system that is easily programmed, requires little or no maintenance and is flexible enough for use in a wide range of applications. The controllers have a large display to show readings and parameters.
Programming is accomplished via the built-in keyboard.
The controller and sensor can be separated up to 2000 feet. Keeping the sensitivity and transmit energy low helps prevent detection of unwanted targets virtually eliminating problems associated with false tripping. In many locations, seasonal temperature changes require adjustment of the sensitivity level. This option is best suited for tank applications on both liquids and bulk solids.
