SF Control LD 100S LevelDatic Multipoint Transmitter

SF Control LD 100S LevelDatic Multipoint Transmitter Product Details:

The SF Control LD 100S LevelDatic Multipoint Transmitter is a key feature of the technology used to measure the level of tanks with electricity and air. It was created to meet the rigorous needs of the offshore and maritime sectors. The LD 100S is a better version of the dependable LevelDatic series. It is a central system for keeping a check on the ship’s draft, fuel oil tanks, and ballast tanks.

LD 100S changes pneumatic pressure into very accurate electrical signals using the bubble-through method or hydrostatic pressure measurement. This strategy makes sure that all of the electronic pieces are kept in a safe, easy-to-reach place (usually the engine control room or a separate cabinet) and that only strong pneumatic lines are used to connect the tanks. This design makes it easy for engineers on board to undertake maintenance and gets rid of the chance of electrical problems in bad weather.

Marine Applications:

• Ballast Tank Gauging: Keeping an eye on ballast levels in real time to make sure the ship is stable and trim control.
• Draft Measurement: A precise hydrostatic measurement of the draft at the front, back, and middle of the ship.
• Fuel and Oil Monitoring: The safe detection of the right level for containers of marine diesel oil (MDO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO).
• Water Ingress Detection: To follow SOLAS safety rules, it is important to keep an eye on empty and dry areas.
• Service and Retrofit: This product can be used to replace old LD 80 series units or to add them to new Emerson/Damcos automation suites.

Our Engineer’s Guide and Tips:

-> In my experience on VLCCs and offshore rigs, the most common failure point in pneumatic systems isn’t the transmitter itself but the air quality. Always ensure your instrument air is dry and oil-free. Even a small amount of moisture can lead to corrosion in the LD 100S pneumatic block or cause ‘slugging’ in the sensing lines, leading to erratic level jumps.
