Submersible Liquid Level Transmitters


Type LS-10, LH-10
Datasheet LS-10, LH-10

Applications
Level measurement in water and wastewater treatment
plants, wells, holding tanks, wet wells, rivers

Special Features

Ranges from 50 InWC to 400 psi


Rated IP 68 for permanent submersion
Hastelloy case available for aggressive media
4-20 mA 2-wire output signal, others available

Description

The LS-10 liquid level transmitter is designed for economical


and reliable performance in a wide variety of level measurement
applications. The LS-10 provides a signal output of 4-20mA and
an accuracy of 0.25% of span. Standard stocked pressure ranges
are assembled with any length cable for fast delivery.

Center: LH-10 high performance level transmitter
Right: LH-10 with optional Hastelloy case and FEP cable

The high performance Type LH-10 provides 0.125% accuracy


and is available with many custom features for special
requirements. LH-10 options include lightning protection,
temperature measurement, special output signals, plus FEP cable
and Hastelloy construction for aggressive media.
The LH-10 is available with a low power 0.5-2.5V output signal
and 5VDC supply voltage. This is ideal for solar or battery powered
installations.
The LH-10 includes a dual cable entry design that prevents
ingress of moisture into the electronics even if the cable is
damaged. Both types feature watertight vented cable that
can withstand over 220 pounds of strain. This allows the
transmitter to be supported without any additional cabling.
Compensation for atmospheric pressure changes is accomplished
through a vent tube in the cable. Many accessories, including
cable clamps, desiccant drying cartridges, additional weights, and
junction boxes are available for specific installation requirements.
Both models can be equipped with the LevelGuard attachment
for protection in difficult environments.

Optional WIKA LevelGuard Anti-clog attachment for submersible


level transmitters. For use in lift stations, wet wells and other difficult
level applications. For more information request bulletin LG-1.
