  • Page 4: General Sensor Installation

    Install the sensor in a way that will avoid these conditions. e. All Global Water water level sensors produce a 4-20 mA output signal. 4-20 mA is an industrial standard signal for process control monitoring. Most PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller), RTUs (Remote Telemetry Unit), and data acquisition systems accept this signal directly.

If the system only accepts voltage signals, the sensor output must be converted to a voltage signal by reading the voltage across a precision resistor in series with the signal wire.
