The
Clark-Reliance FiberLevel level gage system operates as a
dual bi-color gage viewing system which uses two separate
indicating techniques. At the boiler, direct (right angle)
readings are indicated by a Clark-Reliance Simpliport® gage.
A fiber optic cable then transmits the Simpliport indication
to a remote location. There the reading is displayed on a
wall- or panelmounted fiber optic viewer. At both locations,
steam is indicated by red color and water is indicated by
green color.
Transmission of level readings with a fiber
optic cable results in unusually simple and highly reliable
remote equipment. The fiber optic components are totally passive
with no outside power source employed. Nor are any electrical
or moving mechanical parts involved. As a result, once the
fiber optic system is placed in operation, its performance
is free of downtime unless components are physically damaged.
FiberLevel is available in six model sizes
with a maximum standard visibility of 22-1/8 with additional
visibility possible upon request. Fiber optic cable can span
a maximum 300 feet when the right angle feature is included,
or 500 feet without. The fiber optic components can be field-installed
on Simpliports now in service.

Easy-To-View
Direct And Remote Readouts. Red Is Steam, Green Is Water |
Part
of the FiberLevel system is the Clark-Reliance Simpliport gage
operating on the fundamental principle of light refraction.
Light does not refract through water on the same line that light
refracts through steam. Using precisely calculated placement
of light source, colored glass filters and gage glass, Simpliport
unerringly indicates red opposite boiler steam and green opposite
boiler water. Fiber optic strands with special lenses, focused
on Simpliport's colors, transmit these colors to a remote location
and produce a duplicate readout. |

Design Values Provide Outstanding System Efficiency, Exceptional
Reliability |
Simpliport Direct Reading Gage Is Time Tested, Proven Performer For over two decades, Simpliport has earned
superior marks world wide for low maintenance, installation
versatility and product reliability. Design features include
tightly spaced gage ports for maximum level reading precision,
brilliant illumination and quality construction for long service
life.
Simpliport also offers a unique low-maintenance
advantage. Gage port replacement is achieved using port assembly
modules. Loosening a single nut allows easy and rapid service.
Simpliport is industry's premium bi-color
gage; extremely strong, lightweight, accurate and durable.

Fiber Optic
Cable Allows Easy Remote Viewer Installation |
Containing
individual fiber strands, one per gage port, cable may be
installed in present cable trays, conduits or ducts. Cable
may also be installed "as is" on flat walls and
ceilings. Install indoors or outdoors. Though cable
is specially sheathed within a nylon cover, it remains flexible
and permits a 12" bending radius.
Secured in the FiberLevel assembly with strain-relief connectors,
the cable will withstand a wide range of ambient boiler conditions
on its way to the remote viewer. Temperatures may range between
-4°F. to +203°F. Light signals inside the cable are not influenced
by electromagnetic interference.

Remote Viewer
Adapts To Panel Or Wall Mounting |
Ideal viewing of the fiber optic
remote viewer is from the direct front at eye height. For panel
mounting, a small 25-5/8" by 10-1/8" cutout will contain
the compact and attractive viewer. Optimum readout intensity
is aided by recessed ports that diminish the effect of ambient
light sources. The viewer features fixed-focus connections to
minimize the need for viewer dismantling once installed. |
