Level Measurement & Control


Pressure transmitter for liquid level

February 2009 Level Measurement & Control

ifm electronic has introduced the PS3 Series submersible pressure transmitters for liquid level measurement in tanks, containers, sumps, wells and rivers.

Inserted directly into the medium, the two-wire, stainless steel transmitter provides a 4-20 mA analogue output signal. Its watertight, vented polyurethane cable withstands over 100 kg of strain, and the stainless steel housing is rated IP68 for durability and long-term immersion.

The transmitter measures liquid level through pressure sensing technology. The weight of the liquid creates pressure on the transmitter’s measuring element – output is proportional to level. Accuracy is specified as 0,5% of full scale, with repeatability of 0,1% to ensure operational reliability.

Three models are available and the combination of analogue output signal, two-wire technology and various mounting accessories, allows easy integration into existing applications.
