  • Rotary Level Transmitter | RIPOS

    Rotary Level Transmitter - Overview

    Using an absolute multi-turn transmitter (shaft), this system converts each rotation of the shaft to measure position, distance and level. Applications include:

    • Monitoring the orientation of sliding gates
    • Determining the sliding gate position of radial, weir, slide, roller, tainter, crest,  sluice, lock gates etc.
    • Determining the valve position of flap valves, shut-off valves, ball valves, etc.
    • Managing water volume and level
    • Determining slewing crane positions, drawbridge positions, etc.

    Rotary Level Transmitter - Features

    • Absolute position is available immediately after power-on
    • Rotary encoders allow for optimal water management regulation
    • Vibration-resistant
    • Suitable for harsh environmental conditions
    • Maximum investment protection
    • Various encoders and communication interfaces available
  • Water Level Transmitters | MPX

    Water Level Transmitters - Overview

    • Hydrostatic level measurements For small and large volumes. This is performed by applying the sensor directly to the water column load to be measured. This method is suited for dams, reservoirs and equalising basins from 0 to 275 m in height.
    • Pneumatic level measurements For measurements using the bubbling method. The sensor, without having water contact, measures the counter-pressure generated by an air compressor. This is also suited for reservoirs, rivers, dams and equalising basins from 0 to 135 m in height.
    • Level measurements with floaters A precise, extremely robust and maintenance-free level measurement can easily be set up using a floater connected to the rotary encoder via a chain and gear wheel

    Type MPA, MPB & MPC - These Submersible Transmitter Probes hang in water on a special cable with integrated steel wire and air tube.

    Type  MPG and MPJ - These Pressure Transmitter Sensors are screwed into the wall of the pipe or container.

    Water Level Transmitters - Features

    • Excellent price-performance ratio
    • Extremely robust
    • Easy configuration and diagnostics with predefined formulas (optional)
    • Remote diagnostics with integrated web server (optional)
    • SWISS made & SWISS quality
  • Dam Angle Transmitter | RIVERT

    Dam Angle Transmitter - Overview

    This angle transmitter contains an internal pendulum encoder that uses gravity. This converts the inclination into an output signal to deliver high-precision angle measurements. Applications include:

    • Determining the sliding gate position of radial, tainter, crest, weir, slide, roller, sluice, lock gates, etc.
    • Determining the valve position of flap valves, ball valves, shut-off valves, etc.
    • Monitoring the orientation of sliding gates
    • Determining slewing crane positions, drawbridge angles, etc.

    Dam Angle Transmitter - Features

    • High precision angle measurements
    • Optimal water supply regulation without additional gear or linkage
    • Suitable for harsh environments
    • Absolute position available immediately after power on
    • Maximum investment protection
    • Can easily migrate to new generation
    • Various encoders and interfaces available
