CLASSIC 832, Flanged In-Line Flow Switch

CLASSIC 832, Flanged In-Line Flow Switch

The CLASSIC 832 level and flow switch and transmitter offers a flanged process connection for in-line flow measurement and control. It is user configurable for flow, level, fluids interface, temperature applications, and is suitable for use in air, gases, water, liquids, and slurries. The Kayden CLASSIC 832 has several unique features that make it the world’s most advanced thermal flow and level switch including: temperature mode, 4-20 mA outputs, Modbus, digital temperature compensation, automated self-test diagnostics, and a simple, intuitive user interface.

The patented design of the Kayden CLASSIC 832 provides the ultimate performance and features package for flow, level, interface, and temperature sensing. It combines precision welded, highly accurate sensors, extremely rugged enclosures, and advanced digital electronics. In addition, it offers failure resistance inherent in Thermal Dispersion technology with the performance and features usually reserved for much more expensive instrumentation.
