Use of flooding protection tube

The flooding protection tube ensures the sensor measures the maximum level even if it is
completely flooded.
In free-field installations and/or in applications where there is a risk of flooding, the
flooding protection tube must be used.
The flooding protection tube can be ordered as an accessory or together with the device via
the product structure "Accessory enclosed".
 10 Function of flooding protection tube
1 Air pocket
2 O-ring (EPDM) seal
3 Blocking distance
4 Max. level
The tube is screwed directly onto the sensor and seals off the system by means of an O-
ring making it air-tight. In the event of flooding, the air pocket that forms in the tube
ensures the measurement of the maximum level at the end of the tube. Due to the fact
that the Blocking distance is inside the tube, multiple echoes are not analyzed.
