Universal - Model IV - RF Admittance Level Measurement Meter
From Continuous Level Measurement- RF Admittance Level Measurement
The Universal IV Series is the fourth generation RF continuous system built on Drexelbrook’s 50 years of experience in level measurement. The product is backward compatible with the industry standard Universal III, Univeral Lite, Universal II and RCT Series and is the ideal solution for a wide array of applications. A few enhancements to the Universal IV Series include worldwide hazardous location approval, standard display/keypad, autoranging capabilities and state of the art stable and accurate measurement.
Products Details
Pro Model
The Universal IV Pro model integrates the RF Admittance technology pioneered by Drexelbrook with the versatility of Cote-Shield technology that ignores coatings on the probe and measurement span of 1' to 800'. The Pro is compatible with a vast array of applications: conductive, insulating, and heavy or light coating.
Lite Model
The Universal IV Lite model is the entry level RF Capacitance measurement system without Cote-Shield capabilities. Lite models can be used in non-coating conductive liquids and insulated coating applications where Cote-Shield is not required. In addition, the Lite model offers a measurement range up to 20' typically.
