Bailey Controls Announces Significant Price Reduction On 'Smart' Transmitters Bailey Controls has announced a $400 price reduction on its Type Smart BC Transmitter used to measure and control flow, liquid level, gauge and absolute pressure. The reduction places the micropro- cessor-based BC Transmitter at prices nearly comparable to those charged for conventional transmit- ters. The "Smart" BC Transmitter of- fers several distinct benefits, includ- ing increased accuracy (.10 percent of calibrates span), turndown (10/1) and self-diagnostics. It also commu- nicates digitally over its signal lines with a Bailey hand-held communi- cator, a personal computer or any RS-232-C compatible terminal. Through this communication abili- ty, users can configure, rerange, troubleshoot, or verify the operation of the transmitter from a remote location, saving time and manpow- er. The Smart BC Transmitter also boasts integral capabilities that al- low for true distribution of control intelligence. These include square root calculations for flow applica- tions or function generating capabil- DEUTZ A IKHDI DEUTZ MWM is represented in all 50 states and 10 provinces.

All information can appear on a con- venient printout copy. The Smart Transmitter is de- signed to withstand harsh applica- tion and environmental conditions found in industrial environments such as the chemical, pulp and pa- per, petroleum refining and metal producing industries. Bailey attributes its ability to re- duce its prices for the Smart Trans- mitter to recent technological ad- vances with processor chips, plus the economies-of-scale achieved in manufacturing the increasingly popular device.
