FLD-xRTD Self-Powered Monitoring Module
FLD-xRTD is a self-powered intrinsically safe Monitoring module designed for rapid response to detecting leaks of refined products or crude oils in extreme environmental conditions. The monitoring module is engineered for outdoor installation in challenging environmental conditions. Its measurement frontend is designed for interfacing with reusable, fully passive hydrocarbon sensor cables and sensing probes manufactured by Naftosense.
The multiplexed architecture of the monitoring module allows up to 8 individual sensor sections not exceeding 82 ft (25 m) per FLD-xRTD.
Advanced measurement techniques and data treatment algorithms are used to provide intelligent thresholding for eliminating the nuisance alarm due to the presence of motor/lube oils, greases, residues of old leaks, etc.
The variable resistance outputs of the Monitoring module emulate standard Pt100 RTD for direct interfacing to 3rd party temperature transmitters. This feature allows cost-efficient interfacing to third-party wireless transmitters available worldwide and easy testing and troubleshooting using a regular multimeter.
The monitoring module is self-powered by internal non-replaceable Lithium Thionyl battery. The expected operational life of FLD- xRTD is more than 12 years even at arctic temperatures.
FLD-xRTD is approved for installation in classified locations according to FM, Atex, IECEx and other North American approvals. Designed only to be used with all Naftosense sensors and 3rd party hard wired or wireless resistance transmitters.
