Chapter 2 Function and Configuration
Overview
The ALTJ9000 immersion type liquid level transmitter incorporates a microprocessor,
uses a semiconductor pressure sensor to detect the water pressure, and outputs the cur-
rent signal in proportion to the liquid level. This transmitter is composed of a probe and a
junction box. The probe, which is installed underwater, is connected to the above-ground
junction box by the hollow cable. The hollow cable contains a pipe with an inside diameter
of 3 mm so that the output does not change due to variations in atmospheric pressure.
Additionally, various settings of the liquid-level transmitter (range, damping time con-
stant, constant current output, etc.) can be changed and set from the control room using
a CommStaff communicator. Please also refer to the user's manual for the communicator
listed below as a reference document for this liquid level transmitter.
