System Components
The Ronan Point Level Monitor detects the presence or absence of material at a given point in a tank, hopper, chute or process pipe. All components are mounted externally to the process vessel allowing the system to be used in applications where high temperature, high pressure or corrosive and abrasive properties make conventional level devices undesirable and more expensive to maintain.

Each point level system uses a source holder with a small radioisotope and a detector which receives energy at a level dependant upon the presence or absence of the process material inside the pipe or process vessel. Applications requiring both high and low level alarms or the monitoring of several points may utilize the same source holder in many cases.

The electronic unit converts the pulse output of the detector and provides a DPDT (double-pole, double throw) contact output which represents the change in status between the presence and absence of material. This electronic unit may be mounted integrally to the detector at a remote location. Detector/electronic packages include NEMA type 4 & 4X, NEMA type 9 and surface mount designs.
