With a coating to keep the probe safe in corrosive liquids, and Intrinsic Safety ratings to keep your job site safe, the MPI-E Chemical is perfect for small-scale measurements in big-time nasty environments.
The MPI-E Chemical excels in small tank, corrosive or acidic level-measurement conditions.
Durable
The coating on the MPI-E Chemical is designed for use in corrosive, acidic, and marine environments. It can withstand sulfuric acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide.
Modbus Output
The RS-485 Modbus RTU output makes any MPI compatible with any Modbus controller. It also pairs with the MDI controller to create a self-contained, Intrinsically Safe level monitoring solution.
Tank Cloud Compatible
The MPI liquid level sensor is a Tank Cloud client sensor, able to communicate via the Internet with the addition of an LOE Master sensor or an RST-5003 module.
