Characteristics
The high-precision TORRIX level sensor serves as continuous level measurement of liquid
media in containers. The measuring principle used by the sensor exploits the physical effect
of magnetostriction and is largely unaffected by temperature. This method is particularly
ideal where level measurements are required to be extremely accurate, such as in the chem-
ical industry.
This documentation describes the TORRIX with cable connection on the side of the probe
head. The cable connection is an M12 cable gland (or M16 x 1.5 adapter), an M12 male
connector, or an M20 resp. ½in NPT female thread.
Another version is the TORRIX M12 with an M12 male connector on top of the probe head
cover, see:
Technical documentation TORRIX M12, art. no. 350164
The TORRIX supplies a 4 … 20 mA output signal that is configured using buttons in the probe
head, or a digital output signal as HART® protocol. Probe lengths are possible from 100 mm
to 6 m, as Flex version up to 22 m, as well as versions for different temperature and pressure
ranges.
It also comes in the following versions:
•
TORRIX (with screw-in unit, welded or for stepless positioning)
•
TORRIX flange (with process connection flange)
•
TORRIX Flex (with flexible probe tube)
•
TORRIX Bypass (for installation on a bypass with magnetic float)
•
TORRIX 90 (with 90° angled probe head)
•
TORRIX 6 (with 6 mm probe tube)
•
TORRIX 6B (with 6 mm probe tube and short cable gland)
For the description of the communication with the HART® protocol, see:
Technical documentation TORRIX Hart, art. no. 207095
For the installation of the TORRIX Flex probe, see:
TORRIX Flex Installation Guide multilingual, art. no. 350118
The TORRIX versions can also be supplied as Ex version:
The TORRIX Ex … level sensor with Ex approval (ATEX, IECEx) can be installed in potentially
explosive areas which require equipment protection level Ga (Ex Zone 0), Ga/Gb (Ex Zone 0/1)
or Gb (Ex Zone 1) for electrical equipment.
