2400 Transmitter
Analog Float & Tape Tank Gauge Transmitter
The GSI 04-20 Transmitter converts level measurement from a standard mechanical
tank gauge to a 4-20 mA analog signal compatible with any industrial grade
receiver. The GSI 04-20 Transmitter was designed for simplicity of installation
and calibration. Its design utilizes only reputable subsystem components to
enhance system stability, increase quality, and reduce the number of required
replacement parts.
Basic Functionality: The basic purpose of the GSI-04-20 analog transmitter is
to convert the internal rotational motion of a mechanical tape and float level
gauge into a 4-20 mA signal representing product level. This rotational motion
is available from the mechanical level gauge's output shaft.
Mounting & Application: The GSI-04-20 analog level transmitter will mount
directly to your GSI-2570, or most manufacturers' mechanical gauge heads. When
coupled to the gauge head's output shaft the GSI-04-20 utilizes the shaft's
rotation to turn a standard 10 turn potentiometer through a precision gear set.
The potentiometer's resistance value is then used to establish a variable
amplifier gain and thereby derive a 4-20 mA signal. It is housed in an explosion
proof (NEMA 7) enclosure and comes with many range options to match a tank
height.
