(OleumTech Corp.: Foothill Ranch, CA) -- OleumTech, a leader in industrial automation and IoT solutions, has launched the 4-20mA/HART version of its flagship tank level sensors. Previously available only in Modbus and wireless configurations, the HW-RL6 model is designed to meet the needs of users who require a 4-20mA signal or HART protocol for critical level data.

Enhanced features and design

The OleumTech HW-RL6 level sensor, part of the H Series hardwired process instrumentation line, incorporates direct feedback from key users, ensuring optimal functionality and flexibility. In point-to-point hybrid mode, the HW-RL6 delivers both a 4-20mA output for product level measurement as well as four dynamic HART process variables. The first three HART variables are dedicated to monitoring product level (oil), interface level (water), and temperature, while the fourth variable can be configured to monitor Error Code, Discrete Input Status, or DIN count.

Additionally, in traditional HART mode, the HW-RL6 supports multidropping up to 15 level sensors. 

Built with an explosion-proof rating suitable for Class I, Division 1 (Zone 0) hazardous locations, the HW-RL6 eliminates the need for safety barrier boards, thereby reducing installation costs.

The sensor is available in both flexible (PTFE) and rigid (316 SS) materials, with various length options to accommodate different applications. 

Customer-centric innovation

Vrej Isa, OleumTech’s COO, says, “We’re thrilled to introduce the 4-20mA/HART option for our level sensors. As part of our commitment to expanding our hardwired instrumentation offering, we’re excited to provide our customers with a proven level measurement solution in this new format. We believe this addition will greatly benefit our customers, and we remain dedicated to ongoing innovation and improvement of our product line.” 

The OleumTech HW-RL6 level sensor is available now for ordering.
