Turck’s PT4500 and PT4510 submersible pressure transmitters are optimised for detecting the level of water or other media with similar density in challenging industrial environments - including in wastewater and irrigation systems, as well as tanks containing liquids such as gas and diesel.
The PT4510 submersible pressure transmitter was designed for low-level applications of up to 10 m, while the PT4500 is available in ranges up to 100 psig.
To deliver accurate level detection, a transmitter is placed at the bottom of the tank holding the liquid, and the transmitter then converts the pressure reading to an analog 4-20 mA output signal. The electrical connection to the transmitter is routed through the top of the tank and contains power and signal wires. It additionally includes a breathing tube that is used as a reference port to determine the atmospheric pressure outside of the tank.
These IP68-rated, stainless steel pressure transmitters may be used in industrial applications, as well as hazardous classified areas. The transmitters carry UL/cUL 913 approval for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D locations when installed with an approved barrier, such as Turck’s IM33 series.
