FW-9000 Series
SUPER INTELLIGENT SERVO GAUGE

OUTLINE
FW-9000 SUPER INTELLIGENT TANK GAUGE has been developed
based on the technical and field application know-how obtained
through Tokyo Keiso's long time activity in level measurement field.
The mounted microprocessor for tank gauge offers high speed control
/monitoring and remarkable improvement of function. In addition to
normal measurement and transmission of liquid level and temperature,
interface of two different liquids (i.e. Oil/Water), sludge height (or tank
bottom height) and liquid density are measured and transmitted.
Two different sizes of wire winding drum are ready to cover from small
process tanks to large storage tanks of max. height of 60m.
Thanks to the improved and strengthened data communication function, maximum 8 points 2-way contact transmission from control room
to field and vice versa and digitalized data transmission of 1 point of
field analog signal (4~20mA). It is possible to offer combined monitoring and control of tank related instruments, i.e. pumps, valves, actuator, etc.

FEATURES
16-bit microprocessor is used for main CPU. Super intelligent function is obtained.
Full remote control and operation parameter setting thanks to
strengthened data communication function
Flameproof built-in keyboard using Hall elements enables operation
parameter setting without opening housing cover during electrically
active condition in hazardous area. This eliminates difficulties in
handling of HHC (Hand Held Communicator).
Very high accuracy thanks to high resolution stepping motor controlled by microprocessor.
High reliability based on intelligent self-diagnosis function
Perfect Non-contact tension detection system without any slipping

FW-9000 can be combined to existing Tokyo Keiso tank monitoring

system due to wide variety of signal format adjustment.
Optical signal transmitter unit is available.
Max. 8 points contact status transmission between field and control
room is possible for monitoring and controlling of other field instruments such as pumps, valves, actuators, etc.
One point of 4~20 mA signal from field instrument, i.e. pressure
transmitter can be connected to FW-9000 for serial coded pulse.
4~20 mA analog level output is additionally available for field control
or high speed data sampling by HOST computer.
High brightness type 3-line LED indication provides easy recognition in night or dark places with wide visible angle.

rings. High durability and long term stability.

which is located on the same axis as Driving shaft F, is connected to

The angle of Measuring drum rotation is obtained from the number of

steps of Stepping Motor N. This remarkably improves the resolution of

liquid level measurement of 0.1 mm.

By this arrangement, tension onto Measuring wire B can be precisely

detected by measuring distortion of Spring I by Balancer G. A
Displacer A, of which density is higher than that of liquid to be measured, is connected to one end of Measuring wire B. The weight of
Displacer A always gives downforce tension to Driving shaft F. In normal measurement condition, Stepping motor N is controlled by signal
from Balancer G to give Measuring wire B a slightly less and constant
tension than the welght of Displacer A. In this way, Displacer A always
follows liquid surface with stable draft line.
Thus, rotating angle of Measuring drum C which corresponds to length
of unwound Measuring wire B represents height of liquid in tank.
By adjusting the control level of tension T onto measuring wire B, interface of two liquids having different density can also be measured.
Also, by sinking displacer into liquid and measuring the tension T onto
measuring wire B, the liquid density can be detected and measured.
