Pressure Measurement & Control


Submersible pressure transmitters

July 2009 Pressure Measurement & Control

The submersible pressure transmitters in ifm electronic’s PS3 series are used for level measurement in containers, tanks, wells, streaming water, drill holes and wastewater plants. The 4 to 20 mA analogue output signal and the use of the two-wire technology allow easy integration in the application.

High reliability is ensured due to IP68 protection, stainless steel housing and sensor diaphragm and poly­amide (PA) cover cap.

The available pressure ranges of 0-0,25, 0-0,6 or 0-1 bar enable measurement of filling levels up to 10 m of water column. Pressure is compensated towards the atmosphere via an internally vented cable.

The submersible pressure transmitter can be optimally adapted to the measuring point using the optional accessories and the supplied 3, 10 or 12 m fixed cable lengths.
