Overview
The Magnetrol 082-8313-400 Kotron 82CE RF level transmitter is a proven, cost-effective solution for continuous level measurement in industrial automation. This two-wire level transmitter is designed to measure either liquid or certain dry bulk media, supplied by 24 V DC 4 mA base current, with level changes in the medium altering the current between 4 and 20 mA in the two-wire loop. The unit is compact and employs state-of-the-art surface mount technology in an encapsulated module for stable, accurate measurement.
Key Features
- 4–20 mA isolated output signal with 24 Vdc current loop for power source and signal transmission
- Minimum span 50 pF; maximum span 4,000 pF
- Integral metering points to allow local measurement of 4–20 mA loop current without breaking the two-wire circuit loop
- Power indicator LED varies in brightness with level changes
- FM, CSA, and ATEX listed intrinsically safe when used in conjunction with an approved barrier
- Available with a full range of rigid and flexible sensing probes to 5,000 psig (345 bar) and 538° C (1,000° F)
Technical Specifications
- Supply Voltage: 24 VDC (14–40 VDC)
- Output Signal: 4–20 mA isolated

- Span Range: 50 pF (minimum) to 4,000 pF (maximum)
- Agency Approvals: FM, CSA, ATEX intrinsically safe designs
- Output Configuration: Isolated or reversed (20–4 mA) optional
Typical Applications
KOTRON Series 82 CE Level Transmitters are designed to measure liquids, slurries, dry-bulk, or liquid-liquid interface levels. Common uses include:
- Storage and process tank level monitoring
- Wastewater and chemical treatment systems
- Food and beverage production
- Pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing
- Pulp and paper mills
- Hazardous area (intrinsically safe) installations
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Industry-standard 4–20 mA analog input modules and PLCs (Allen-Bradley CompactLogix, ControlLogix; Siemens S7 series; Mitsubishi FX/Q series)
- Distributed control systems (DCS) with 4–20 mA input cards
- HART communication protocol (where enabled)

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator or consult the Magnetrol application matrix before ordering. The 082-8313-400 is a standard configuration of the Kotron 82CE series and is interchangeable with other 082-83xx-400 model variants (same electrical output and mounting). For prior model replacements, confirm probe type, voltage rating, and output polarity with technical support.
Works With
- Industry standard 4–20 mA measurement software and HMI platforms
- Local analog indicators and panel meters with 4–20 mA input
- Intrinsically safe barriers for FM/CSA/ATEX hazardous area use
- Flexible and rigid probe assemblies rated to 5,000 psig and +538 °C
