GM-17

GM-17 point level detector
The GM-17 Gamma detection switch utilizes proven Geiger-Mueller tube technology to provide point level indication in a package less than half the weight of its predecessor. The GM-17 can be used with all standard Ohmart/VEGA Gamma Source Holders.

The GM-17 uses single or multiple Geiger-Mueller tubes to monitor gamma radiation passing through a vessel. When process material in the vessel blocks the gamma radiation, the GM-17 will energize (or de-energize) a relay.

Applications
- High and Low point level indication on a wide variety of vessels, bins, and silos
- Plugged chute indication
- The retrofit of older, less sensitive switches without changing Gamma sources
- Independent redundant indication for continuous level detectors without the need
  for additional Gamma sources



All advantages in an overview
- Single point calibration
- 1 to 6 Geiger Mueller tubes (field changeable)
- Remote electronics capability
