Continuous Submersible Level Transmitter

Getting Started

Submersible Pressure Sensore are designed to be completely submersed
within the liquid. The transmitters can rest along the bottom of the tank or
be suspended at any desired level within the tank.
Please note that the physical location of the level transmitter will indicate
the lowest level of measurement within the tank.
ex : Positioning the transmitter 12" from the bottom of the tank, then the
lowest reading of liquid will be 12" from the bottom.
When the Liquid To Be Measured is Not H
Needs to be Determined.
To Achieve this Simply Divide the Range of the Sensor Body by the Specific
Gravity of the Liquid
SENSOR RANGE / S.G = NEW RANGE
The Importance of the Liquids S.G (Specified Gravity)
The S.G of a Liquid has a Direct Effect on the Sensors Output when Measuring
the Height of the Liquid
Liquids with a S.G < 1.0 are
Liquids with a S.G > 1.0 are
H O has a SG = 1.0
2
S.G < 1.0 Requires More Liquid
S.G > 1.0 Requires Less Liquid
Here are some examples of how the submersible sensor range changes when
submersed into liquids with different Specific Gravities
