Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin L-28
The SBLT2 Sub mersible Level Tra nsducer is manu factured for
years of trouble free servic e. The transm itter con sists of a piezo resis tive sens ing element, enca sed in a 316 SS hou sing. Super ior l ightn ing a nd su rge p rotection utilizi ng du al ar resto r technology, grounded to case, eliminating both power supply surges and lightn ing ground s trike tran sients (surge protection is not guaranteed and is not covered by warranty). Bu llet nose des ign prote cts diaphr agm from damage. Come s equi pped with a 27 0­pound tensile strength, shielded, vented cable. Ventilation tube in the cable automatically compensates for ch anges in atmospheric pressure above the tank.
APPLICATIONS
• Well monitoring; Ground water monitoring; Environmental remediation; Surface water monitoring; Down hole; Water Tanks.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
An external power supply delivering 13-30 VDC with minimum current capability of 40 mA DC (per transmitter) is required to power the control loop. See figure below for connection of the power supply, transmitter and receiver. 
The maximum receiver load resistance (RLmax) for the DC power supply voltage (Vsup) is expressed by the formula:
RLmax = Vsup – 13V
0.02A
Shielded cable is recommended for control loop wiring.

Pressure Limit: 2X full scale. Power Requirement: 13 to 30 VDC. Output Signal: 4 to 20 mA DC, 2-wire. Response Time: 50 ms. Max. Loop Resistance: 850 ohms at 30 VDC. Electrical Connections: Wire pigtail. Mounting Orientation: Suspended in tank below level being
measured.
Weight: 2.2 lb (1.0 kg). Electrical Protection: Lightning and surge protection.
WARNING:
A voltage potential between the ground wire of the unit and the ground of other equipment can lead to electrolytic corrosion. Always ensure the grounding system provides an equipotential between the transmitter and the earthing ground connection. Avoid using the power system protective ground since this will often have a significant potential difference to the transmitter ground. Also note that dissimiliar metals in the ground system may cause electrolysis corrosion of the transmitter or other components in the ground system.
During installation, connect a voltmeter or ammeter between the shield ground wire and the grounding connection. If there is a measurable voltage or current electrolytic corrosion may be a serious possibility. If there is a potential difference then some isolation system will be required. Improper grounding may lead to damage or poor signal integrity.
