Siemens announced today that a new option is available for the MultiRanger 100 ultrasonic controller for liquid level measurement, a single relay version with analogue and communications outputs.

Siemens announced today that a new option is available for the MultiRanger 100 ultrasonic controller for liquid level measurement. Customers now have a choice to order a single relay version, and enjoy the savings that Siemens is passing along. Many users simply use an analogue 4-20 mA output or digital communication output from the MultiRanger and do not use all the alarm relays that have been a standard feature of the MultiRanger 100 up until now.

This means that users now pay only for the features they need.

MultiRanger is ideal for short- to medium-range applications up to 15 meters (50 ft).

MultiRanger 100 offers cost-effective level monitoring, while MultiRanger 200 provides high performance measurement of level, flow, differential level, and volume conversion.

The flexibility to choose between models makes MultiRanger a cost-effective solution.

It is configurable at time of order, allowing you to select just the features you want for your application.

It is available in either wall or panel mount versions and includes options such as the number of relays, single or dual point functionality, and application specific software functions.

MultiRanger can be programmed with the Siemens Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM), the ideal software tool for configuration, parameter setting, record keeping and diagnostics, including trending and echo profiles.

Digital communications capability is provided by built-in Modbus.

Other communications protocols, including Profibus DP, are available through plug-in modules.
