How Piusi OCIO Works

• Piusi OCIO works on the principle of differential pressure
• A fluid contained in a tank applies a pressure at the bottom of the tank,
• The pressure at the bottom of the tank is determined by the level and density of liquid stored ( L )
• Piusi OCIO measures the pressure applied by the fluid through a probe which is held at the bottom of the tank by a weight.
• Given the value of the Density ( D ) of the fluid stored in the tank, Piusi OCIO will automatically calculate the surface level of the liquid within the tank and show it on the display.
• The Density ( D ) of any fluid can be easily entered in the instrument by calibrating the Piusi OCIO.
• A microchip placed on the electronic circuit board automatically activates a small electric compressor located inside the console as is necessary
• The compressed air, and a specially designed control valve maintains the required air supply within the probe
• The microchip also controls an integrated heater that prevents the temperature inside the housing to fall below a pre-determined value, in order to allow accurate readings and avoid the forming of condensate on the circuitry.

Piusi OCIO Alarms

• The Piusi OCIO includes two alarms which can be used for
  -activating remote devices (such as audible or visual alarms)

-for stopping any pumps that may be connected to the tank.

• For each of the two alarms, both the normally open contact and the normally closed contact are available.
• i.e.: No. 3 connectors are available for both alarms.
• The alarms can be set only after configuring a tank.
• The alarms can be set independently from one another; this means that you can have:
  -two alarms of different kinds (one H-level alarm and one L-level alarm)

-two alarms of the same kind (two H-level alarms or two L-level alarms).
