Product Information

Comprehensive technical details and specifications for our industrial tank gauging solution

Product Description

MDA-RS probes take field proven technology and packages it in a revolutionary new way for greater reliability, easy installation, and mounting. MDA-RS is ideal for continuous level monitoring with a variety of liquid media. All electronics are integrated into a 5/8” diameter sensing tube. MDA-RS is available in stainless steel or flexible Kynar®.
This break through in package design eliminates the bulky electronics enclosure at the top of the probe and offers you greater options for insertion and mounting in tanks and vessels. The 316 stainless steel housing is all welded construction and suitable in a wide variety of applications. The SMT electronics provide 0.1% accuracy and have a 4 wire, loop powered 4-20mA output for process applications.
The MDA-RS lower cost design provides more options, offers savings on installation, and has the ultimate in “designed-in” reliability.
