Hardware DatasheetSummaryThe Foxboro Eckardt244LD LevelStar is formeasurement of level,interface or densityof liquids, with highaccuracy, even underdifficult conditionssuch as high pressure,high temperatureand corrosive liquids,even in explosiveatmospheres.244LD LevelStarHigh performance level transmitterBusiness ValueThe extensive productline gives you solutionsfor almost everyapplication.Ruggedised designand high reliability,easy configuration viadigital communicationand local LCD, longdesign life and freedomfrom maintenancereduces the effectivecosts running yourplant and increases itsprofitability.Best in class.The 244LD LevelStar is designed to measure continuously level, interface ordensity for process and tank control. Its outstanding technical data makes it to oneof the best Level Transmitters in the market. The latest FDT / DTM technology isused to offer online recalibration and diagnostic. The transmitter theory is basedon Archimedes buoyancy principle. It is very rugged, has a long life cycle andrequires no maintenance. A wide range of materials allows the optimal adaptionto the process. The 244LD LevelStar is extremely reliable and very precise evenat extreme process temperature and pressure.The 244LD LevelStar joins the experience of Foxboro Eckardt with most advancedFDT / DTM technology and is the premium product in the Foxboro Eckardt leveltransmitter portfolio.Foxboro Eckardt <strong>GmbH</strong>Pragstr. 82 · D-70376 Stuttgart · GermanyPhone +49 (0)711 502-0Telefax +49 (0)711 502-597http://www.foxboro-eckardt.com
