Flexible Magnetostrictive Float Level Transmitter

MPX-F

Extra Flexibility For Your Extra-Long Measurements

The MPX-F features a 316L SS flexible tubing braided stem that uncoils easily for simple installation in tall tanks.

Description

The MPX-F does almost everything you expect from an MPX, but with more flexibility. Its 316L SS flexible tubing with braided stem simplifies installation in tall tanks.

Modbus Output
The RS-485 Modbus RTU output makes the MPX compatible with any Modbus controller or PLC. It also simplifies wiring dramatically.

Tank Cloud Compatible
The MPX liquid level sensor is a Tank Cloud slave sensor, able to communicate via the Internet with the addition of an LOE Master sensor or an RST-5003 module.

Flexible
The MPX-F is designed with ease of use in mind. The 316 SS flexible tubing stem coils for compact shipping, and with the stem weight attached, uncoils easily into your tank, so you no longer need an 40-foot crane to install a 20-foot probe in a 20-foot tank.
