Overview

The LMT100 is based upon the magnetostrictive principle.

1. The device electronics generates a low energy current
pulse at fixed intervals.
2. The electrical pulses create a magnetic field which
travels down a specialized wire inside the sensor tube.
3. The interaction of the magnetic field around the wire
and the magnetic float causes a torsional stress wave
to be induced in the wire. This torsion propagates
along the wire at a known velocity, from the position of
the magnetic float and toward both ends of the wire.
4. A patented sensing element placed in the transmitter
assembly converts the received mechanical torsion
into an electrical return pulse.
5. The microprocessor-based electronics measures the
elapsed time between the start and return pulses
(Time of Flight) and converts it into a position measure-
ment which is proportional to the level of the float.
