The Series 510 Submersible Level Transmitters are solid state
instruments designed for direct submergence into many types
of liquid for quick, accurate and reliable level measurement.
The transmitter indicates the level of the liquid by continuously
measuring hydrostatic head pres sure using a high performance
ceramic sensor. Electrical connection is made via a 20 gauge
shielded waterproof cable which is vented at the surface to
reference atmos pheric pressure.
Once the transmitter is installed and wired into a control or
display loop, it is ready for use. Before applying power, check
that the supply polarity and excitation volt age is correct.
