Design

The transmitter has a flush-mounted piezo-resistive sensor with stainless steel dia-
phragm.
The transmitter is equipped with an electronic circuit fitted together with the sensor
in a stainless steel housing. the cable also contains a strength cord and vent pipe.
The diaphragm is protected against external influences by a protective cap.
The sensor, electronic circuit and cable are sealed in a common housing of small
dimensions.
The transmitter is temperature-compensated for a wide temperature range.

Application

The 7MF1570 transmitter is used for hydrostatic measurement of liquid levels, e.g.
in water supply, ship installations, in the oil and gas industry etc. The transmitter mea-
sures the hydrostatic pressure (p = ρ * g * h, with ρ - density of the liquid,
g - acceleration due to gravity, h - height of the liquid column).
