2 Product Description
This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as the ordering information.
2.1 Principle of Operation
Tek-Sub 4800A is a PTFE Submersible Level sensor based on hydrostatic pressure measurement. This transmitter measures the level or filling height in a tank in accordance with the following principle: A liquid generates, through its specific gravity and the force of gravity, a weight force which increases with the filling height. This weight force, increasing proportionally with the filling height, is called the liquid column. The Tek-Sub 4800A measures the height-dependent weight force of this liquid column, as a hydrostatic pressure. From the measured hydrostatic pressure and the density of the product, one can calculate the filling height of the vessel.

3 Installation
This section covers instructions on installation and commissioning. Installation of the device must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such works.
CAUTION
• All installation must comply with local installation requirements and local
electrical code.
• Do not supply the power while installing the transmitter.
• During installation and operation, connect the reference tube with the
atmosphere.
• Prevent mud and sand from piling up in the reference tube. Otherwise, the
transmitter would be damaged.
3.1 Considerations to be taken before Installation
Before installation make sure that:
• The static pressure produced by the liquid at the installation site does not
exceed the transmitter FS range.
• The measuring liquid is compatible with the transmitter’s construction
material.
• The measuring liquid does not block the holes on the protection cap.

3.2 Installation Methods
a. The installation direction of transmitter is vertically down. b. In the water flow condition, the surface of the transmitter should be in parallel with
the direction of the water flow.
3.2.1 Installation in the Static Water
a. Fig 1 shows the installation method used in case of static water
b. While pumping the liquid, the transmitter either should not be installed in the tank
or it should be protected by steel tube as shown in Fig 2.

Page 12
3.2.2 Installation in an Open Channel (eg. Reservoir Area, River Channel)
a. Method One: Insert a steel tube in the water channel (Fig 3).
By providing the holes in a thick steel tube walls at different heights, the influence of the water pressure on the transmitter is eliminated and the waves are dampened.
b. Method Two: Superficial burying is done in the sand and stone channel (Fig 4).
This method not only eliminates pressure of the water flow and wave influence, but also filters the sand and mud particles.
