Submersible Water Level Sensor

4-core IP67 Waterproof RS485 Aviation Connector

Submersible Water Level Sensorr

Model: F-TR100, RS485
Basic Functions

Real-time acquisition of water level and water temperature; automatic atmospheric pressure compensation via the built-in vented cable; built-in temperature correction; RS485 Modbus digital output; automatic conversion of water level to physical values; ability to read reference values and real-time measurements; support for on-site recalibration of the reference zero point; dual anti-interference and lightning protection via the grounded housing and shielded cable.

Optional Features

No built-in optional modules; can be purchased with a protective filter tube, fixing steel wire rope and a compatible data logger.

Product Overview

The submersible water level sensor utilises a silicon pressure sensor principle, featuring a compact, all-stainless-steel probe with an integrated vented shielded cable. It automatically performs temperature and atmospheric pressure compensation, and outputs standard digital water level data via RS485. Suitable for use with pressure tubes,long-term submerged monitoring in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Its compact size allows it to fit into 1-inch-diameter pressure measurement tubes, significantly simplifying drilling and installation work. It eliminates the need for frequent on-site calibration, ensuring long-term stability and reducing the costs of manual inspections.

Key Features

Slim Probe Design: 24 mm outer diameter fits standard 1-inch pressure pipes, reducing drilling costs.Barometric Compensation: Ventilation cable provides full-range automatic compensation to eliminate atmospheric pressure errors.Dual Measurement: Simultaneous high-accuracy water level and temperature acquisition. Robust Construction: Silicon pressure sensor withstands 1.2× full-scale pressure, ensuring leak-free long-term submersion.Anti-Interference: Shielded twisted-pair vented cable with full-unit earthing protects against EMI and lightning.Wide Range Options: Multiple specifications available, from shallow pressure tubes to deep reservoirs.Easy Deployment: Standardized protocols for burial, borehole sealing, and calibration simplify on-site installation.High Stability: Pre-soaked water-permeable components ensure long-term stability with no significant lag or drift.

Q1: What pre-treatment is required for the water-permeable components prior to installation, and what are the consequences of not carrying out this treatment?

A: Disassemble and soak the components for at least 2 hours, then assemble them underwater. Trapped air will cause severe measurement lag and data distortion.

Q2: How should the reference value be correctly calibrated, and how should excessive deviations be addressed?

A: After soaking the probe in constant-temperature water for 2 hours, remove it and record the reference value. The error between two calibrations must be ≤0.5% FS. If deviations occur, repeat the soaking process and recalibrate the zero point.

Q3: What are the key requirements for the installation and sealing of pressure tubes?

The borehole diameter must be ≥100 mm, and the pressure tube must be wrapped in geotextile. Backfill the permeable section with highly permeable filter material, and seal the impermeable section by compacting bentonite in layers. Finally, fill the system with water to test permeability sensitivity.
