Portalevel® MAX PLUS

Delivering Safesite® and Ensure Asset & Personnel Safety

Portalevel® MAX PLUS is the latest addition to our range of ultrasonic liquid level indicators as part of our Safesite® mission. Safesite® aims to minimise loss in industrial environments by ensuring a facility’s safe operation in the most efficient way. By complying with ISO and NFPA requirements through precision and speed, Portalevel® MAX PLUS provides a much more convenient and reliable method of fire agent contents monitoring than traditional weighing. This is because Portalevel® MAX PLUS is:

Non-Invasive: The cylinder is not compromised and no manual weighing is required

Precise & Fast: A single operator can reliably measure numerous cylinders with an accuracy of ±1.5mm in under 30 seconds per cylinder

Adaptable: With 3 calibration modes and 4 power settings, Portalevel® MAX PLUS can be adjusted to reliably measure different cylinder types and sizes

Robust: With an IP65 enclosure and backlit LCD display, the unit can be easily operated in challenging and poorly-lit industrial environments

Agent Weight Calculation with Portasteele®

The combination of the Portalevel® MAX PLUS and Portasteele® CALCULATOR uses our decades of experience in ultrasonic engineering and collaboration with fire suppression system manufacturers to allow a user to clearly determine the agent weight from the liquid level without having to physically weigh the cylinder. The benefits of this are:

Tracebility: The liquid level found is traceable to the agent weight which is the only documented evidence of fire suppression cylinder contents from the manufacturer

Temperature Correction: Any fluctuations in liquid level as a result of temperature changes is automatically accounted for in the calculations, giving you the true agent contents at all times regardless of temperature

All measurements are saved and recorded with time & date stamp, for effectively audit trail and to comply with relevant ISO and NFPA regulations where agent weight is required to be reported

Simple Yet Effective Operation

Using the Portalevel® MAX PLUS is straightforward, providing both exceptional accuracy and ease of use:

1. The transducer emits an ultrasonic pulse into the cylinder.
2. The central unit analyses the signal reverberating in the cylinder, indicating whether the local contents are liquid or gas.
3. Operators can move the sensor along the cylinder to quickly and accurately detect the liquid/gas boundary, completing the task in under 30 seconds.
