Install the sensor and 4–20 mA loop in accordance with the manufacturer’s wiring instructions and applicable electrical installation requirements. The breather tube must remain unobstructed.
Applications
- Potable water storage tank level measurement
- Rainwater tank monitoring
- Groundwater and bore level measurement
- Raw-water reservoir monitoring
- Automatic tank-level control and pump management
- PLC, SCADA and building-management-system level inputs
Standards & Compliance
- AS/NZS 4020:2018 is relevant where the sensor is used in contact with potable water; product-specific compliance was not stated by the manufacturer
- AS/NZS 61010 series is a relevant safety framework for electrical measurement and control equipment; no product-specific compliance declaration was located
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 is relevant to associated fixed electrical wiring and installation; the transducer itself is a low-voltage field sensor
Environmental Benefits
- Supports accurate water-level monitoring and more efficient pump operation, helping reduce unnecessary pumping
- 316L stainless steel housing is durable and recyclable at end of service life
- Long operating life of more than 100 million pressure cycles can reduce replacement frequency and product waste
- Suitable for potable and rainwater storage applications without requiring refrigerants or consumable media
