Measuring Principle
Both instruments operate on the float principle. A float with built-in magnet system is guided on a non-magnetic tube. It follows the liquid level in the vessel, thereby causing the magnet system to move the follower magnet inside the tube. Changes in level are transmitted via a flexible wire cable to a measuring drum. The weight of the follower magnet is balanced by a spring motor. System operation is thus non-interacting. The indicating device and data transfer system are actuated by the measuring drum via a toothed gearing.
