2.Product overview
CYW 18 series gas collector liquid level transmitters adopt gas pressure
conduction method to measure high temperature, corrosive liquid, sewage,
etc. The transmitter consists of stainless steel gas collector, stainless
steel capillary and junction box. The sensor part and signal processing
circuit are inside the junction box, and the gas and medium in the gas
collector put into the liquid are connected. The pressure is transmitted to
the sensor through the air duct, which avoids the direct contact between
the sensor and the measured medium. It is suitable for the measurement of
high temperature corrosive liquids and other occasions, and effectively
solves the problem of high temperature corrosive liquids and sewage level
measurement.
3.Working principle
The pressure formula of the sensor facing the liquid surface is
as follows:Ρ=ρgh + Po:
P :Pressure on the liquid surface of the sensor (hereinafter
referred to as pressure for ease of understanding)
ρ:Measured liquid density(debugging defaults to1g/cm³ )
9.8m/s²
g :Gravity acceleration (
for debugging)
Po:Atmospheric pressure on liquid surface

h :Depth of sensor input into liquid
STAR METER
When the sensor is put into a certain depth of the liquid under
test, the pressure of the medium under test is introduced into the
positive pressure chamber of the sensor. The pressure P o on the
liquid surface is connected with the negative pressure chamber of the
sensor through the cable guide pipe to offset the positive pressure
of the sensor, so that the pressure measured by the sensor is Rho gh.
Obviously, the liquid level depth can be obtained by measuring the
pressure P.

7.2 Cautions for Use of Explosion-proof Transmitter
Warning!
!
(a) Transmitters shall be installed strictly in accordance with
the relevant provisions of GB3836.15-2017 "Electrical equipment for
explosive gas environment Part 15: Electrical installation in
dangerous places (except coal mines)"
DANGER!
!
B) The transmitter housing must be effectively grounded.
DANGER!
!
C) The shell of the product is made of aluminium alloy. The
ignition hazard caused by impact or friction must be prevented.
Warning!
!
D) When the internal parts of the transmitter are damaged and
need to be repaired or replaced, they need to be replaced or repaired
at the factory.
Warning!
!
E) When flameproof and dust intrinsically safe transducers are
used in dangerous places, the shell cover of the transducer must be
tightened. In order to ensure the safety of the transducer, safety
regulations should be strictly observed and the cover of the
transducer should never be opened when the power is on. When
installing the transmitter, the lead-in and exit of the cable should
be well sealed.
!
DANGER!
F) Essentially safe transmitters must be equipped with safety
grids to be used in dangerous places with explosive mixtures. Safety
grate shall comply with GB3836.4-2010 "Essential Safety Type I" of
Electrical Equipment for Explosive Gas Environment Part 4, and shall
be tested by relevant explosion-proof departments and obtained
explosion-proof certificate. Installation shall be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of the instructions. The system
