Level Measurement & Control


Next-generation magnetostrictive level transmitter

July 2016 Level Measurement & Control

Magnetrol International has announced the release of the Jupiter Model JM4 magnetostrictive level transmitter. The JM4 is available as a direct insertion option, as well as an external mount on any Magnetrol magnetic level indicator (MLI) or modular instrumentation bridle. With an improved design, unparalleled performance, and a collection of new and innovative features, the JM4 provides safer, simpler, and smarter measurement in total and interface level applications.

Leading edge hardware and software

The JM4 is a smart innovative magnetostrictive transmitter. To this end, numerous enhancements have been introduced, including greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a full graphic local user interface, HART 7.0 (Foundation Fieldbus available), local waveform capture, and a more intuitive device type manager (DTM) allowing for remote configuration, trending, and diagnostics.

It offers a field-removable and rotatable head to allow for simpler transmitter maintenance and troubleshooting without process disruption. 310° of head rotation provides users with greater accessibility to operate the JM4’s on-board graphical interface.

To enhance the removable head the unit features Smart Probe technology. When any JM4 transmitter head is attached to a probe, a single push of a button imports factory configuration settings into the head and in seconds, the transmitter is ready for operation. The transmitter head is attached to the probe via a flexible cable to allow for easier viewing under various spatial constraints.
