Kenco Engineering KMD Transmitter - Manual (Page 2)

1. INTRODUCTION
____________________________________________________________
KENCO is pleased to update its loop powered magnetostrictive
transmitter with the latest innovations in magnetostrictive
technology, as well as adding new features to the product offering.
The KENCO KMD Series magnetostrictive transmitter is designed
solely for use with the KENCO magnetic liquid level indicator, the
Magna-Site. The transmitter electronically monitors the location of
the magnetic float within the Magna-Site gauge housing, providing
an output in a unit of measure as a % of span or a 4-20 mA output.
The KMD series also incorporates HART® communications and a
visual display as part of the standard offering.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
_____________________________________________________________
KENCO transmitters electronically monitor the location of the
magnetic float within the Magna-Site gauge housing, providing an
output in a unit of measure as a % of span or a 4-20 mA output. The
transmitter is available up to a length of 300 inches. Zero and span
may be adjusted by using the HART® communications protocol or it
may be manually calibrated using the keypad display inside of the
explosion proof housing. These transmitters operate within a process
temperature range of – 40°F to 300°F. Field replaceable electronics
are potted and encapsulated. KENCO transmitters are available as
standard with NEMA 4X/7 explosion-proof housings. These housings
feature an industrial epoxy coating for corrosion resistance. All
KENCO level transmitters use non-contacting, magnetostrictive
technology. This simple design ensures no scheduled maintenance or
re-calibration – ever. Accurate, non-contact float location sensing is
achieved with absolutely no wear to any of the sensing elements.
