Level Measurement Training System Plus, Control Package
Model Number: 617-CTL
Hands-on hydrostatic training for level measurement, instrument calibration, and process control skills.
Overview
DAC Worldwide’s Level Measurement Training System Plus, Control Package (617-CTL) is a working, large-scale fluid process system that allows for hands-on principles related to basic hydrostatic training, as well as the installation, calibration, and maintenance of process field instruments using a column of water. The device, coupled with a comprehensive student manual, creates a complete, self-paced learning system that reflects realistic industrial and commercial applications.
This self-contained hydrostatic training system provides for complete, realistic courses in instrumentation control and calibration within an economical and space-saving package. Useful within industrial training programs or in an educational setting, the Level Measurement Training System Plus will help make this fundamental part of instrumentation maintenance training more memorable and effective.
The complete hydrostatic training package includes a Level Measurement Training System (617), Diaphragm Control Valve Assembly (617-047), PID Controller and I/P Converter Panel (600-066), Differential Pressure Switch Assembly (600-067), Differential Pressure Transmitter (600-056), and a 3-Valve Manifold (600-059).

Hands-On Training
This working, large-scale fluid process system gives learners direct experience with hydrostatic level measurement and process control using a real column of water. The workstation includes a 3-gallon clear acrylic tank, a 15-gallon reservoir, clear PVC piping, and a 1/4 HP centrifugal pump for realistic operation.
Its open architecture allows instruments from many manufacturers to be installed at multiple locations on the system and tank using quick-connect fittings. Learners can practice installing, calibrating, and maintaining field instruments, as well as building basic level-control loops with optional or user-supplied equipment.
Curriculum
The integrated course includes eight hands-on exercises and learning activities focused on instrumentation principles. Activities may be delivered in self-paced or instructor-led formats and include background information on each topic, hands-on experiments, and related review questions.
An optional Student Training Manual is available to enhance learning by compiling the technical content from the learning objectives into a perfectly bound book.
