Unlike traditional float or mechanical transmitters that can lose calibration or drift after a power interruption, the MCG 2000MAX’s patented Absolute Magnetic Encoding technology ensures the system always “remembers” the correct tank level — even after outages or resets — without requiring recalibration.
Its 2-wire loop-powered design, infrared calibrator, guided setup, and multi-protocol output (including L&J Tankway and HART) make it easy to install, configure, calibrate, and integrate into both new and retrofit applications. With ATEX/IECEx certifications, ultra-low power operation, and precision up to 1/64″ (0.4 mm), the 2000MAX offers a safe, maintenance-free, and globally compliant solution for modern tank gauging.
Retains tank level data through power loss or communication resets — no recalibration required.
Standard 1/32″ (0.8 mm) resolution, with optional 1/64″ precision for custody or high-accuracy applications.
Mounts directly to Varec 2500, Shand & Jurs 92021, and other float gauges — transforming mechanical readings into electronic data.
Supports 4–20 mA, HART, L&J Tankway, and other industrial protocols for seamless SCADA/DCS integration.
Enables firmware updates and configuration without batteries or EEPROMs, reducing maintenance overhead.
Consumes less than 0.04 W, making it ideal for loop-powered and energy-sensitive installations.
Certified for UL, ATEX, CE, and IECEx hazardous areas with integrated lightning and surge protection.
Configure and adjust using the integrated LCD and IR handheld — safe, simple, and no tank entry required.

The 2000MAX uses Absolute Magnetic Encoding — meaning it never loses level data during power interruptions and does not require recalibration after resets.
Unlike older optical or incremental encoders that lose their position after a power interruption, Absolute Magnetic Encoding uses a series of permanent magnets to uniquely identify the exact position of the float at all times. When power is restored, the transmitter instantly reads the absolute position without needing to search or re-reference, guaranteeing true, continuous measurement and eliminating the need for recalibration.
