Terminal operators, refinery engineers, chemical process technicians, and EPC project integrators need highly accurate continuous level and temperature monitoring, safe calibration in hazardous areas, and flexible communications. For them, the MCG 1010M Magnetostrictive Receiver provides a robust solution. This device offers 0.001 inch resolution, explosion-proof construction, and a graphical LCD with wireless infrared calibration. Unlike conventional transmitters, the MCG 1010M provides true continuous magnetostrictive measurement with multi-protocol connectivity (Tankway, Modbus, HART, Profibus), delivering reliable, custody-grade data for inventory control, custody transfer, and compliance.
Provides continuous digital level measurement with 0.001 inch repeatability, ensuring the highest precision for custody transfer and inventory accuracy.
The Infrared Smart Calibration method allows technicians to perform safe, ground-level calibration using the MCG 2150 Calibrator without opening the explosion-proof housing.
Supports L&J Tankway, Modbus RTU, HART, and Profibus DP, ensuring plug-and-play connectivity for retrofit or integration into existing DCS/SCADA systems.
Features dual RTD inputs to integrate temperature data (spot or average) for automatic volume correction and product quality validation.
Offers multiple analog and discrete I/O options to accept signals from valves, relays, flow meters, and leak sensors, enabling local control logic.
Integrated lightning and surge protection safeguards sensitive electronics against transient field voltages and electrical stress.
The Graphical LCD Display allows local viewing of level, temperature, density, and alarms, reducing the need for control-room checks.

We have tried to answer the most common questions we are asked here.
Magnetostrictive technology provides a true continuous, digital measurement by precisely detecting the position of a magnetic float along a wave guide. Unlike conventional systems that rely on mechanical linkages or incremental encoders, the MCG 1010M offers 0.001 inch resolution, meaning it provides a higher degree of precision and is less susceptible to mechanical wear or drift.
Yes. The receiver is equipped with Infrared Smart Calibration. This feature allows a field technician to use the intrinsically safe handheld MCG 2150 Remote Calibrator to program, calibrate, and diagnose the unit from ground level without opening the explosion-proof condulet.
The dual RTD input allows the receiver to gather precise temperature data from the tank. This is critical for custody transfer because product volume changes with temperature. The MCG 1010M can use this data to perform automatic Volume Correction Factor (VCF) calculations, ensuring the reported inventory is highly accurate and audit-ready.
