When it comes to level measurement, users need devices that can withstand long durations in liquid media while providing long-term durability and stability. Most often, submersible level transmitters face common failure modes because of the damage caused by liquid media. STS Sensors has engineered a top-notch submersible sensor solution for wastewater applications that combats these common failure modes with its high-quality features.

Prevent Water Ingress in Submersible Transmitters

A common cause of failure for submersibles is water ingress. This is caused when moisture penetrates the housing of the transmitter. This can lead the device to electrical malfunction and failure. The VL2000 Wastewater Level Transmitter prevents water ingress with its molded polyurethane cable. With its waterproof design, the VL2000 ensures liquid does not come into contact with the transmitter’s internal construction even when fully submerged.

Avoid Clogging and Sludge Buildup in Wastewater Applications

For applications such as wastewater treatment, sludge and debris can cause clogging in the transmitter’s sensing area resulting in inaccurate readings. The VL2000 prevents this issue with an open-face flush diaphragm. Since the surface of the sensing element is flat, this allows the sensor to prevent clogging and buildup of material found in dirty or viscous media.

Durability and Protection Against Breakage

Durability is crucial for devices submerged in water-related applications. Submersibles are often placed in liquids for long periods of time. With this, it is important to have a solution that can stand the test of time. The VL2000 is built with a stainless-steel construction that provides reliability even in the harshest conditions. For chemical applications, a titanium option is available.
