Innovations with heart - Exciting news from the engineers at UWT

The new RFnivo® is the first choice for many bulk applications

All RFnivo® probes come with the Active Shield technology as standard. The Active Shield technology prevents faulty switching caused by the build-up of material which is prone to caking or bridging on the probes extensions or caused by the build-up of condensed water in the process. UWT gives highest priority to ensuring all their products are designed to be reliable and maintenance free.
Capacitive measurement always requires that the sensors are calibrated for the application, as the geometry of the container influences the probe’s measurement. The jump in the change of capacity when the probe is covered by bulk material again depends on the dielectric value and the sensitivity of the probe. In practice this is not always easy. It often means that one has to get closely acquainted with the equipment’s operation manual or the capacitive measurement principle itself. And let"s be honest, who is truly happy to be tasked with that? So, due to the easy handling of the UWT sensors it also means time is saved during commissioning. The RFnivo® automatically starts to calibrate itself once the set-up and the wiring in the tank has been completed and the power supply connected. The operator has to do nothing further than set the signal output in the Quickstart menu according to its application. If the RFnivo® is used in an application where the supply voltage has been previously connected, the calibration process can be started immediately after installation. The probe automatically adjusts to the new application and the calibration is completed in no time. For "hardcore" RF probe operators, there is also a powerful manual and menu-driven calibration. This ultimately arrives at the same conclusion as the automatic calibration.
