Understanding Level Measurement
Submersible Level Sensor
All Submersible Sensors have a Calibrated Range which is based on H2O that has a Specific Gravity or Density = 1 1. Range Value : The Overall Measuring Distance that the sensor
has been calibrated to by the factory.
— The Range will be mentioned on the Sensor Body.
2. Empty : The Pressure being exerted on the sensor diaphragm at Lowest Point.
— Normally this is when the tank is empty.
Empty = 4mA setting.
3. Full : The Pressure being exerted on the sensor’s diaphragm at the highest point liquid level within the Tank.
Full = 20mA setting.

Submersible Level Sensor Transmitter
Getting Started
? Submersible Pressure Sensore are designed to be completely submersed within the liquid. The transmitters can rest along the bottom of the tank or be suspended at any desired level within the tank.
? Please note that the physical location of the level transmitter will indicate the lowest level of measurement within the tank.
ex : Positioning the transmitter 12″ from the bottom of the tank, then the lowest reading of liquid will be 12″ from the bottom.
When the liquid to be measured is Not H2O, the New Range of the Sensor needs to be determined.
To achieve this, simply divide the Range of the Sensor Body by the Specific Gravity of the Liquid.
SENSOR RANGE / S.G = NEW RANGE
20mA = Max. Level
R
R
R
Examples
The Importance of the Liquids S.G (Specified Gravity)
The S.G of a Liquid has a Direct Effect on the Sensors Output when Measuring the Height of the Liquid. Liquids with a S.G < 1.0 are Lighter than H2O (i.e. Oil) Liquids with a S.G > 1.0 are Heavier than H2O (i.e. Sulfuric Acid)
H2O has a S.G = 1.0
S.G < 1.0 Requires More Liquid to Equal the Same PressUre or Height as with H20. S.G > 1.0 Requires Less Liquid to Equal the Same Pressure or Height as with H20.
Here are some examples of how the submersible sensor range changes when submersed into liquids with different Specific Gravities …

Submersible Level Sensor Transmitter
Calculating Max. Range of a Sensor
Let’s assume a the calibrated range of the submersible sensor is 34″ or 408″. The range is always referenced H2O which has a specific gravity S.G or (Density) equal to 1 Calibrated Range/S.G = Liquid Level Measurement Range 34/1 = 34′ or 408/1 = Liquid Level Range = 408″
Example 1
The liquid in Tank # 1 has a S.G = 0.5 which is Lighter thank that of H20 To determine the New Range of the sensor simply divide the H20 Range (34′) by the S.G of the liquid that is going to be in the tank. S.G = 0.5 34/.5 = 64 ft or 816″ Since the oil is a lighter fluid than H20 the new measuring range of the sensor has increased and is now 64′ or 816″
Example 2
The liquid in Tank # 2 has a S.G. = 2 which is 2x Heavier than H20 The 34′ sensor is now going to be installed into a tank to measure a liquid with a S.G = 2 Range / S.G = New Range of the Sensor 34/2 = 17 ft or 204″

Correct Sensor Position Setup
Fig A
The Submersible Level Sensor is intended for use while fully submerged in the process liquid.
Avoid placing the sensor at the tank bottom if sludge or other materials are likely to accumulate and cover it. This includes any debris that may settle at the bottom.
In such cases, it’s recommended to suspend the sensor above the maximum expected level of sludge or debris buildup (see Fig A).

Calculating SE-2 (20mA)
Example : S.G of the Liquid is Heavier than H2O The Submersible Sensor Range is 34′ and is now going to be installed into a tank of Acid. S.G = 2 : Sensor Range = 0-34′ To Calculate the New Range of the Sensor = Range/S.G = 34/2 = 17 ft or 204 inches. The liquid is heavier than H2O, so the overall sensor range has been reduced to 14 ft or 204 inches. So SE-2 will be 204in.

Troubleshooting
1. Trouble Shooting the Sensor
1. First, verify that the sensor is wired correctly. 2. Next, check if the power supply is providing the required power.
? If transmitter is not functioning properly, isolate the transmitter from the
4mA
system and wire as shown above.
? Be sure to remove the sensor from the classified area when preforming this test. Multimeter should read 4mA with the transmitter out of liquid.
Note:
? The reference or capillary tube is fitted with a Gortex® Filter – this must remain
attached in order to prevent moisture, particulate or insects from entering. Do Not Remove.
? Avoid Blocking or Bending the Ventilation Tube
? The TankPro® is fitted with a Gortex® Breather to allow air to pass but not water. Please Ensure this Not Blocked.
? Always keep the cable termination clean, dry and free of moisture to prevent liquid from entering the Vent Tube.
Confirm Programming Input for 20mA (SE 2 on Display) is correct.
Confirm Specific Gravity of the liquid is correct.
