Description
The PT-500 is a rugged submersible pressure transmitter designed for tank liquid level measurement, water and wastewater applications, and well-depth measurement.
Built-In Lightning Transient Protection
Lightning strikes are always a threat to exposed electrical infrastructure – especially when it’s 40 feet underground.
That’s why we’ve included built-in lightning transient protection as a standard feature for every model (including intrinsically safe version). So forget about buying a $300 industrial surge protector. It’s included.
Class 1, Division 1/Zone 0
The PT-500 is built to handle tough applications – including hazardous locations. It’s intrinsically safe design means it’s suitable for even the most explosive environments.
Field Adjustable Zero
Even the best submersible pressure transducers drift a little over time. Ours stands apart from the others because you can adjust the zero point in the field – bringing it back within spec. All it takes is a simple magnet (included). It’s easy to do and means you won’t need to have it recalibrated as often.
Re-Usable Cage
Need to protect your sensor? The cage is the ideal solution. But it costs extra no matter who you buy from. Ours can be removed and reused when it’s finally time to replace your sensor – saving you money. Tight budgets can be challenging. Why not save as much of it as you can.
Low Power Consumption
The Modbus and voltage output versions use very little power and have a very fast response time – ideal for battery-powered installations.
