Details: LCR20

Function

The device is suitable level measurement for liquids in storage tanks, open basins, pump shafts and canal systems.

The device is a radar measuring device with Bluetooth ® wireless technology and HART communication.

Due to the wireless remote access, the device can be used in places difficult to reach and in hazardous areas.

The device can be configured and operated via the free iOS/Android app P+F Level.

The device has a PVDF housing, which guarantees a long lifetime.

The hermetically sealed wiring and fully potted electronics prevent water ingress and allow use under harsh ambient conditions.
