Correction Sensor Position - ICON Level pro 200C Series Operating Manual

200C Series
(Capacitive Ceramic)
Continuous Submersible Level Transmitter

Correction Sensor Position

The Submersible Level Sensor is designed to operate while submerged in the actual application liquid. Avoid
installing the level transmitter along the bottom of the tank if materials such as sludge will build up and coat/cover
the transmitter. This also includes any debris that will settle along the bottom of the tank. In these applications, it
is best to suspend the transmitter above the highest level of sludge/debris that will occur. See Fig A.
Location : Select a location where the temperature of the transmitter will be within the specification of the
sensor.
Installations where other tank requirements will cause the transmitter to move or swing.
A mixer blade could cause the level transmitter to whip around within the tank. An alternative would be to
move the transmitter to a more stable section of the tank or to install the Transmitter inside a still well/drop
tube. This will minimize the effects created by the mixer.
Position : The transmitter is not position sensitive.
Mounting : The transmitter can be mounted via several methods. It can be suspended from the cable, it
can be placed resting on the bottom of the tank in either horizontal or vertical orientation, or it can be
attached to a pipe or hardwired using the LP100 conduit box on the top of the housing.
Avoid : installations where other tank requirements will cause the transmitter to move or swing.
Ex: A mixer blade could cause the level transmitter to whip around within the tank. An alternative would be
to move the transmitter to a more stable section of the tank or to install the Transmitter inside a still
well/drop tube. This will minimize the effects created by the mixer.
Termination: The cable for the transmitter is terminated at a LP100 junction box located on top of the tank.
Since the vent tube is contained within the cable, the pressure within the junction box. A Gortex
to ensure accurate atmospheric pressure inside the junction which is necessary as a reference to the
pressure acting on the sensor at the bottom of the tank.
The inside of the function box must be clean, dry and free of moisture.

Note: Use caution when connecting the cable within the junction
box. A ventilation/reference tube is located within the cable. The
purpose of this tube is to provide a comparison between current
atmospheric pressure and the pressure that is being exerted on
the sensing diaphragm within the tank.
The reference tube must be open and free to allow air to flow
back to the pressure diaphragm.
Avoid blocking or bending the ventilation tube by compressing
the cable.
