Self-configuring level meter

OPTIFLEX 1300 C TDR level meter measures distance, level, and volume of liquids, pastes, and solids. It is available with five different probes — single rod, double rod, single cable, double cable, and coaxial. Meter’s maximum measuring range is from 13-115 ft, depending on the probe type. Installation and setup requires user to fit the gauge to the tank, wire it, and turn it on. A Setup Wizard asks questions to define the tank and the product to be measured.
