Control Mode or Transmitter Operation
Simple Dial Controls for Set Point, Proportional Band, Reset,

Zero, and Span Adjustments
The Displacer Sensor Measures Changes in Liquid Level, Specific

Gravity, or Interface Level, and the Controller or Transmitter Sends a
Pneumatic Signal that is Proportional to the Changes
The 249 Series Displacer is Contained in a Rugged Cage for
Mounting on the Side of a Tank, or the Displacer can be Suspended
in a Tank without a Cage
Tank Flanged Connections to 8-Inch Size

Some combinations of process and ambient temperatures within the above require an
Combination of ambient and optional heat insulator to protect the instrument from high or low temperatures. For
process
example, an ambient temperature of 86F or 30C and a process temperature of 200C or
392F require a heat insulator.
