The new hydrostatic submersible pressure transmitters from ifm electronic have ATEX, IECEx and GL approvals and are thus especially suitable for hazardous areas. Further advantages for the user include easy integration in the application, high resistance and long-term reliability.
The ATEX submersible pressure transmitters allow easy, reliable and low-cost level measurement in hazardous and marine applications. They offer a stainless steel housing, FEP cable and ATEX approval for group 1, category M1 and group II, category 1G and 1D. They also meet IECEx and GL approvals according to the 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. In many different applications the transmitter measures levels with an accuracy of 0,5% and a long-term stability of 0,2% per year.
The available pressure ranges enable measurement of filling levels of up to 10 metres of water column. The analogue 4-20 mA output signal and two-wire technology allow the submersible transmitter 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, and lengths available include 5 m, 10 m or 15 m.
Precise level control
Level Measurement & Control
Whether in silos, tanks or process containers, the exact detection of fill levels is crucial for stable, safe and economical production processes. However, many common measuring methods quickly reach their limits in practice.
