The intelligent transmitter 244LD LevelStar is designed to perform continuous measurements for liquid level,
interface or density of liquids in the process of all industrial applications. The measurement is based on the
proven Archimedes buoyancy principle and thus extremely robust and durable. Measuring values can be
transferred analog and digital. Digital communication facilitates complete operation and configuration via PC or
control system. Despite extreme temperatures, high process pressure, and corrosive liquids, the 244LD
measures with consistent reliability and high precision. It is approved for installations in contact with explosive
atmospheres. The 244LD combines our abundant experience with most advanced digital technology.
