The EasyTrak XP laser transmitter is designed for measuring dry bulk solids, regardless of the presence of surrounding vapor or moderate dust.
The device is housed in an explosion-proof assembly with screw-on cover for quick and easy access. Meeting the requirements for use in hazardous areas (FM and CSA—Class 1, Division 1 and 2, Groups A, B, C, D) the EasyTrak XP’s rugged, powder coated aluminum enclosure is rated for IP67 or NEMA 4X and DIP ratings. The EasyTrak XP measures distances from 1 to 50 feet. Its pulsed laser diode features virtually no beam divergence (0.2 inch beam spread) and no false echoes, says the vendor. As a result, the beam can be directed through very tight spaces for measuring virtually any solid surface at any angle. EasyTrak XP pricing starts at $1,950.
