Description

TL400-I is a non-intrusive level transmitter with no moving parts, using an infrared laser technology (~920 nm) that is completely safe to the human eye (LASER CLASS-1). Its measurement principle is based on Time of Flight (ToF), providing an accurate and reliable distance measurement, regardless of the color or transparency of the surface. It can be used to measure from grains and solids to transparent liquids such as water and diesel.

It has a robust housing, withstanding pressures up to 8 bar, and excellent resistance to flammable materials such as diesel, gasoline, or alcohol.

With a measurement capacity of up to 4 meters and 1 Hz sampling, TL400-I is an excellent alternative to level sensors based on ultrasonic, capacitive, or floating technology since it does not need to be in contact with the surface to be measured.

The transmitter has a dedicated filter for non-static tank applications based on machine-learning algorithms that have been validated in real-life situations and have configurable parameters for specific applications.

The sensor allows you to configure the opening angle, ranging from 12° degrees for irregular tank or reservoir applications to 27° degrees for tanks where the base diameter is half the height to be measured.

TL400-I has a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface.

With it, you can:

Configure the analog output (4-20 mA), according to the specific application
Configure the opening angle of the sensor (from 12° to 27° opening degrees)
Customize the tank with up to 20 points in level percentage
Perform sensor diagnostics in real time
Configure the dynamic filter based on the application
Update the firmware to the most current version, which will always be available on the NOVUS website

These functions can be adjusted through the SigNow app, available for Android and iOS.

The sensor can retransmit the analog output in Level, Volume, or Distance. Level and distance are set in your preferred unit (mm, cm, m, inches, or feet) and volume is always displayed in percent.

Software

SigNow – App for sensors and Transmitters

The SigNow Software makes it possible to quickly and easily configure NOVUS transmitters. The application allows you to save the configuration to a file to be used as a backup or to be sent to other devices. It also has a diagnostic function to verify if the equipment is reading the process variable correctly.

On mobile devices, the SigNow Mobile app allows a smartphone to power the device to be configured with the USB OTG adapter. This makes it easy to use in the field.
