The 4532 Average Temperature Sensor and Converter (ATC) is a multi element (Pt100) resistance device designed to measure the average product temperature in bulk liquid storage tanks. The measured value is converted into a HART® compatible output for use in temperature compensated volumetric calculations.
The 4532 ATC contains up to 6 temperature elements, spaced at 2 meter or 3 meter intervals along the length of the probe. Power and local HART communications are provided over a 2-wire, intrinsically safe (i.s.) connection from compatible instruments, such as the Varec 6000 Series Servo Tank Gauge (STG), 7500 Series Radar Tank Gauges (RTG), 4560 Servo Gauge Monitor (SGM) and the 4590 Tank Side Monitor (TSM).
The 4532 ATC is installed vertically onto spheres, bullets, cone, dome or floating roof tanks. An anchor weight can be connected to the end of the element to minimize movement even in the most turbulent conditions. |
