Pressure Measurement & Control


Hydrostatic level measurement in hazardous areas

March 2013 Pressure Measurement & Control

ifm electronic’s hydrostatic submersible pressure transmitters have ATEX, IECEx and GL approval and are especially suitable for hazardous areas. Further advantages include easy integration into an application, high resistance and long-term reliability.

They allow easy, reliable and low-cost level measurement in hazardous and marine applications. With a stainless steel housing and FEP cable, they have ATEX approval for group 1, category M1 and group II, category 1G and 1D. They also meet IECEx and GL approvals according to environmental category C, F, EMC 1 and ensure flexible and versatile use of the PS2-series transmitter. With longitudinal water resistance, no water can penetrate the transmitter if the cable is damaged. This makes it a reliable solution for level measurement in containers, tanks, wells, streaming water, drill holes and waste water plants. The transmitter measures levels with an accuracy of 0,5% and a long-term stability of 0,2% per year in many different applications.

The available pressure ranges enable measurement of filling levels up to 10 metres of water column. The analogue 4-20 mA output signal and two-wire technology allow them to be integrated into an application in a cost-saving and rapid manner. The pressure transmitters are supplied with fixed cables at no extra cost; lengths available include 5, 10 or 15 metres.
