Description
The GSI 2000 Absolute Digital Transmitter is a rugged, field-proven device engineered to transform mechanical tank gauge motion into accurate digital output for remote monitoring and control systems. It mounts directly to compatible mechanical tank gauges through a coupling assembly and translates float gauge movement into precise digital level data.
At the core of the transmitter is absolute encoder technology, which ensures that the level position remains accurate even after power loss. Unlike incremental systems, it does not require re-homing or recalibration when power is restored, providing dependable and drift-free operation.
The transmitter is housed in a heavy-duty, explosion-proof cast aluminum enclosure rated NEMA 7, making it suitable for Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations commonly found in fuel terminals, tank farms, and bulk storage facilities. It supports multiple communication board configurations, including industry-standard protocols such as MODBUS RTU over RS-485, enabling seamless integration with modern tank monitoring systems.
Optional RTD inputs allow for temperature measurement of stored products, and additional I/O capabilities support expanded monitoring and control functions.
