Product Information

Comprehensive technical details and specifications for our industrial tank gauging solution

Product Description

We have upgraded our dependable PROTEUS Series with advanced technology, versatility, scalability and new features like a capacitive touch screen display, 5 built in programmable relays and built in VPN capability. The PROTEUS-K Series can monitor multiple parameters, including product levels, water levels, temperature, leaks and more in up to eight tanks simultaneously. This flexibility makes PROTEUS perfect for various tank gauging and leak detection applications.
The PROTEUS-K can accept up to 16 OMNTEC Bright Eye (BX Series) sensors, which are excellent for distinguishing between product and water or detecting liquid presence. These Bright Eye sensors are networked and utilize 4-wire bus technology, providing a distinct advantage.
BX Series sensors come equipped with a built-in microprocessor that enables each sensor to self-identify and provide its location. This information is readily displayed alongside alarm conditions on the PROTEUS’s 7-inch color capacitive touch screen graphic display.
With OMNTEC’s proven reliability, the PROTEUS offers an attractive, comprehensive, and user-friendly system that opens the door to endless possibilities.
