System Components
The Ronan Mold Level System consists of a source holder, detector, cable and electronic unit. Both source holder and detector are integral parts of the mold housing. An interconnect cable connects the detector to the remotely mounted electronic unit. Electronic packages include panel mount, rack mount, surface mount and NEMA type enclosures.

The highly focused radiation beam emitted from the source holder is transmitted through the baffles , water, coppers and blocked by the liquid steel being poured into the mold from the tundish. The scintillation detector receives radiation in an amount inversely proportional to the level of liquid steel within the mold. This signal is then processed in the X96N or X99 and a signal representing level is calculated. This level is then output in either a voltage or milli-amp signal to the customer's PLC or DCS for control and/or trending.

State-of-the-art processing technology coupled with easily installed non-contacting measuring assembly combine to provide the user with a very reliable and cost effective method of mold level sensing.
