What makes the MPX-F different from other level transmitters?

The MPX-F features flexible 316L stainless steel tubing with a braided stem, allowing for easy installation in tall tanks without heavy equipment. Its Modbus RTU output ensures seamless integration into existing systems, while its corrosion-resistant design ensures durability in harsh environments.

Unlike rigid level transmitters, the MPX-F’s flexible tubing can be coiled for shipping and easily uncoiled for installation, reducing the need for cranes or large lifting equipment. This significantly lowers installation costs and effort.

The MPX-F is ideal for chemical processing, water treatment, oil and gas, and food and beverage industries. It provides accurate tank level monitoring and remote access, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Yes, the MPX-F supports remote monitoring by providing real-time data when connected to SETTLER and Explorer. This feature is especially useful for large-scale industrial applications that require continuous oversight of tank levels.

Yes, the MPX-F is constructed with corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel tubing, ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging environments such as chemical processing plants and wastewater treatment facilities.
