Kotron^®
Model 805 Smart RF
Level Transmitter
DESCRIPTION
The Kotron^® 805 Smart Transmitter is a loop-powered,
24 VDC, liquid-level transmitter based on proven
RF Capacitance technology. Encompassing a number of
significant engineering accomplishments, this high per-
formance RF level transmitter is designed to provide
reliable measurement performance well beyond that of
competitive units.
The innovative dual-compartment enclosure is a first
in the industry, orienting the wiring and electronics
in the same plane, and angled to maximize ease of instal-
lation, setup, and data display.
TECHNOLOGY
The Kotron 805 combines the proven technology of
RF Capacitance with advanced signal processing tech-
niques and convenient user features. As the level rises
and falls in a tank or vessel, the amount of capacitance
developed between the sensing probe and the tank wall
(or ground) also rises and falls. This change in capaci-
tance is digitized for display and HART^® communications
(optional) and converted into a proportional 4–20 mA
analog output signal.
APPLICATIONS
MEDIA: Liquids or slurries; hydrocarbons to water-based
media (dielectric 1.5–100).
VESSELS: Most process or storage vessels up to rated
probe temperature and pressure.
CONDITIONS: All level measurement and control appli-
cations including process conditions exhibiting visible
vapors, surface agitation, bubbling, high fill/empty rates
and low product level.
FEATURES
• Accepted, proven RF capacitance technology
• Two-wire, 24 VDC, loop-powered level transmitter

• Innovative, ergonomic housing
• Two-line, 8-character LCD with keypad
• Probe designs to +1000° F (+535° C)/5000 psig
(345 bar)
• Intrinsically safe and Non-Incendive approvals
• Probes available from 6 inches to 150 feet
(15 centimeters to 45 meters)
• Low Power, High Performance
Kotron 805 operates on a remarkably low amount of
current. A microprocessor controls the measurement
engine, drives the liquid crystal display, enables key-
pad operation, controls HART communications and
provides a 4–20 mA output.
A separate wiring compartment isolates the
power/signal conductors from the electronics compart-
ment via a sealed feed-through. The compartment is
designed to maximize ease of wiring and includes
surge and transient protection.
The unique enclosure is conveniently angled at 45° to
facilitate ease of setup and configuration, and to
maximize readability of the liquid crystal display.
