Product Detail

Pressure sensor pneumatic gauge PS-Light-2

  • Compact, robust measurement system for measurement of water level using the „bubble gauge“ principle
  • Maintenance-free – No pumb lubricant or moisture absorber needed
  • High accuracy (0.05 % FS) and long-term stability through smart sensor drift compensation
  • Measuring ranges: 0-10 m (standard), Option:0-20 m, 0-40 m
  • Low energy consumption through optimised pump control
  • Wide range of output signals 0-1 V, 0-5 V, 0/4-20 mA, RS 485 (SDI-12, SHWP) for uncomplicated connection to external data collectors or to process control systems (SPS)
  • Easy installation on the existing water level stations, protective housing or control cabinets
  • Optionally available with integrated data logger
  • Optionally available with integrated data logger and modem for remote data-transmission (4G/LTE)

Robust, reliable and accurate:
Using a high-performance, durable and brushless small compressor, air is forced at adjustable measuring intervals into the water via a tube. The pressure generated in the transmission line corresponds exactly to the hydrostatic pressure over the outlet nozzle. This is measured using a ceramic pressure measuring cell in the PS Light-2. Prior to each measurement a sensor drift compensation occurs. PS-Light-2 is as precise after many years of operation as on day one.

Maintenance-free:
The measuring cell of the PS-Light-2 does not come directly into contact with the measured medium and therefore does not have to be cleaned regularly of deposits (e.g. lime).

Safe:
Since, as is generally known, air is not conductive, elaborate electronic overvoltage protection can be dispensed with.

Self-sufficient:
PS-Light-2 engages in a continuous measurement operation and can easily be autonomously supplied with solar panels (e.g. 50 W panel, at 5-minute measuring interval and 1/4 hourly transmission).

Last but not least:
The measurement system is available in several versions PS-Light-2 sensor with or without an LCD, PS-Light-2-LCD with an integrated data collector and as a compact data transferring station PS-Light-2-Modem (including remote data transmission).
