ABB LM80.A
Product Introduction
The ABB LM80.A is a high-performance, non-contact laser level transmitter designed for precise measurement of liquid and solid levels in extreme industrial environments. Utilizing pulse laser technology, the LM80.A measures distances by emitting laser pulses towards the target surface and calculating the time-of-flight of the reflected light. This advanced method allows for accurate level measurements in applications ranging from small tanks to large silos.
Core Advantages and Technical Highlights
High Precision and Long-Range Measurement: The ABB LM80.A offers a measurement range of up to 100 meters for level applications and up to 150 meters for positioning, with a resolution as fine as ±5mm. Its advanced signal processing ensures high accuracy and reliability in various conditions.
Non-Contact Measurement: The laser-based technology eliminates the need for contact with the measured medium, reducing maintenance and avoiding potential contamination. This makes it ideal for measuring granular solids and opaque liquids.
Robust and Durable Design: The ABB LM80.A features a rugged aluminum or stainless steel housing, suitable for harsh environments with wide temperature ranges and high humidity. It is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX, IECEx).
Easy Installation and Calibration: The LM80.A includes an alignment laser for precise targeting and an intuitive LCD interface for configuration. It requires no calibration and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Advanced Diagnostics: The device provides real-time diagnostics and alarms, ensuring continuous monitoring and timely detection of any issues.
