Overview

The LoopSeries LB 430 is a 2-wire radiometric detector that operates solely within a 4...20 mA current loop. Using advanced SiPM (Silicon Photomultiplier) technology, the detector is suited for extreme process conditions, excelling in measurements of density, concentration or switch applications. It is expertly designed to provide reliable and accurate readings under any condition, making it the ideal solution for demanding mining slurry applications with high abrasion and high solids content. Engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of modern industrial environments, the LB 430 detector combines cutting-edge technology, ease of use and advanced functionality.

The Loop series LB 430 can be equipped with an optional external display, offering an efficient way to access process parameters and device status quickly and easily. This added functionality is especially valuable for installations in hard-to-reach locations or remote measurement sites. The external display option enhances the usability of the radiometric detector, providing convenient and reliable access to measurement data even in challenging environments.
