MCG 1350M

Terminal operators, maintenance teams, safety officers, and EPC project engineers require safe and convenient access to tank measurement data.

The MCG 1350M Ground Level Display (GLD) provides a rugged and easy-to-use solution for viewing tank information directly from ground level. The device displays product level, temperature, and alarm status from compatible L&J gauges without requiring operators to climb tanks or open gauge housings.

By bringing tank measurement data safely to ground level, the device improves operational efficiency, enhances safety, and supports regulatory compliance across terminal and storage operations.

Why is ground-level access to tank data an important safety improvement?

−

Ground-level access provided by the MCG 1350M eliminates the number one cause of industrial accidents in tank farms: falls from heights. It also reduces the need for technicians to open gauge housings, which preserves the explosion-proof seal and minimizes exposure to hazardous vapors.

Is the MCG 1350M compatible with existing tank gauges?

+

Yes, the MCG 1350M is designed to work seamlessly with Cognesense’s gauges and transmitters, including the MCG 1500 (servo), MCG 1600 (radar), and evo2600 series. It displays the same accurate, real-time data sent from the main device.

How is the MCG 1350M powered?

+

The display uses loop-powered operation, meaning it draws low-energy power directly from the communication lines of the connected L&J gauge. This eliminates the need for separate external power wiring, simplifying installation and reducing overall costs.

Summary

The MCG 1350M Ground Level Display brings tank gauging data to grade level, eliminating the need for operators to climb tanks for routine readings. Compatible with Cognesense’s full line of level, temperature, and alarm instruments, it provides a clear LCD readout and infrared programming via the MCG 2150 calibrator. The result is safer daily operations and faster commissioning across terminal and refinery environments.
