Battery level indicator for water tanks with remote control 100m

USEFUL LINKS: MANUAL AND PRODUCT INFORMATION

Remote sensing up to 100 m with 10 levels viewable on LED

This battery powered device (2 x “AA” stylus not included) is a level gauge for measuring the liquid level of water tanks such as rainwater, sewer chambers or cesspools up to 100 meters away via 11 conductors. After having touched the appropriate key, the indication takes place via 10 LEDs in steps of 10% each (indication 10-100%). The device is intended for wall mounting (approximately 131 x 78 x 36 mm) and requires 2 "AA" batteries. Connection is made via terminals inside the device. A normal signal cable (telephone cable, control wire or similar) with at least 11 conductors is required to connect the water tank with the level indicator (the cable is not included). It is also possible to use cables with fewer conductors, but then it will not be possible to use all signaling phases (for example, with 8 conductors only 7 LED indication steps can be used, which is, however, often sufficient) or it is possible to use more multiple conductor cables.

In case of larger sizes

This module is normally to be used for measuring water levels in rain containers, water containers, etc. Our customers have asked us if the module can be used to measure larger containers, where the separation of the measuring electrodes is of ca. 5 m. Due to the large distance between the upper and lower electrode in this type of measurements (about 40m), the intensity of the measurement display (LED) can become weak. To avoid this, it is recommended to install the electrodes with a long parallel tube for all electrodes (see photo).

Do you need the connection cable? We have 12-pole cables suitable for the electrical connection of all necessary conductors. Buy it by the meter in our shop on EBAY | MECTRONICA STORE
