As part of Coltraco’s Safesite® mission, the Portalevel® MAX PLUS helps minimise risk in industrial environments by enabling quick, reliable fire suppression agent content monitoring. This device supports industries in ensuring regulatory compliance with ISO and NFPA standards and offers a far more convenient solution than weighing fire suppression cylinders. Its non-invasive, precise measurements ensure safety and compliance in operations across various sectors.
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS offers a far safer solution than traditional weighing methods. It complies with ISO and NFPA standards and does not require disassembly.
Non-Invasive: No cylinder disassembly or manual weighing is required.
Precise & Fast: Measures cylinder levels with ±1.5mm accuracy in less than 30 seconds per cylinder.
Adaptable: This device features three calibration modes and four power settings to measure various cylinder types, conditions, and sizes.
Robust Design: The IP65-rated enclosure and backlit LCD make it suitable for use in challenging environments, including dimly lit areas.
While traditionally used in fire safety, the Portalevel® MAX PLUS is designed to meet the diverse needs of several industries:
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS is designed to handle various liquified clean agents like FM200™ and NOVEC™ 1230, ensuring accurate monitoring across various fire suppression agents. Although these agents are more stable at higher temperatures than CO2, the high-temperature effect can cause slight changes in the liquid level.
Despite this, the device can still reliably measure the agent, providing accurate results across various temperatures. In contrast, CO2 is impossible to measure at temperatures above or close to 31°C as it enters a supercritical state.
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS can be paired with the Portasteele® CALCULATOR for even greater functionality. This combination allows users to convert liquid level readings into accurate fire suppression agent weight, offering:
Traceability: The liquid level is traceable to the agent weight, providing documented evidence required by manufacturers.
Temperature Correction: Automatic adjustments account for temperature fluctuations, ensuring accurate measurements regardless of environmental conditions.
Data Logging: All measurements are saved with time and date stamps, ensuring compliance with ISO and NFPA audit trails.
Using the Portalevel® MAX PLUS is straightforward, providing both exceptional accuracy and ease of use:
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS sets itself apart by combining ease of use, adaptability, and precise measurement capabilities. This device is trusted for industries with critical fire suppression systems because it supports safety, compliance, and operational efficiency across multiple sectors.
Whether managing maritime safety or ensuring compliance in power generation, the Portalevel® MAX PLUS provides unmatched performance.
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS is designed to reliably measure the contents of fire suppression cylinders, detecting the point of transition from the liquid to the gas phase. This precision tool is essential for maintaining fire safety systems, as it accurately detects the level of the fire suppression agent contained within the cylinder.
The Portalevel® MAX PLUS can quickly and efficiently determine the exact liquid level without weighing the cylinders.
By using non-invasive ultrasonic technology, operators can save time and effort while ensuring compliance and safety, making it an ideal solution for monitoring and maintaining the integrity of fire suppression systems.
