2 Product Description
This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as the ordering information.
2.1 Introduction
The Tek-Sub 4800C 0.062 ft Submersible Level Transmitter is only 0.75" in diameter making it ideal for level monitoring in well and borehole applications. Constructed for years of trouble-free service, the Tek-Sub 4800C has welded stainless steel body and nose cap. Featured in Tek-Sub 4800C is a precision ±0.25% of full scale accuracy piezoelectric sensor. Tek-Sub 4800C comes with a choice of polyurethane or PTFE cable materials and is vented for barometric pressure compensation. The vent is covered with a maintenance-free filter , which prevents particulate or water droplets from entering the transmitter.
2.2 Measuring Principle
The Tek-Sub 4800C 0.062 ft Submersible Level Transmitter consists of a sensor attached to a long cable, which is lowered to the bottom of the liquid container. The sensor operates by measuring the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid medium. Hydrostatic pressure (or head pressure) is the pressure exerted by the liquid in the vessel. The hydrostatic pressure measured by the sensor is determined by two parameters: the density and height of the liquid. With liquid density remaining constant, changes in hydrostatic pressure necessarily reflect a difference in liquid level.

2.3 Operation
A typical Tek-Sub 4800C 0.062 ft Submersible Level Transmitter application is shown in the following figure.
Fig.2. Mounting the transmitter
The pressure at the bottom of the tank or body of liquid is related to the height of the liquid. This pressure is called hydrostatic pressure or head pressure. Typical units for measurement of hydrostatic pressure are inches, feet, or meters of water column. In a water column, the hydrostatic pressure of 27.7”w.c. is approximately equivalent of 1 PSI at 100 °F. The volume of water or the shape of the tank does not affect the hydrostatic head pressure; it is the height of water that affects the pressure. Whether it is in a large water tank or a small bucket of water, the hydrostatic pressure of 27.7” w.c. is the same.
Modern PLC’s and HMI’s can calculate the liquid level of a tank by entering the geometry of the tank and the specific gravity of the liquid.

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 work.
CAUTION
• Installation must comply with local installation requirements and local electrical
code.
• Do not switch on the power supply to the transmitter while installing it. It may
cause injury to the operating personnel
• Prevent mud and sand from accumulating on the sensor probe. 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’s FS range.
• The measuring liquid is compatible with the transmitter’s construction material.
• While mounting the transmitter, avoid areas subject to electrical noise, excessive
vibrations and radiant heat.
3.2 Installation Method
Tek-Sub 4800C is suitable for static, as well as flowing liquid level measurement applications. The transmitter is factory calibrated and ready for operation without adjustment
• Ensure that the measuring liquid is compatible with the transmitter’s
construction material.
• Insert the transmitter vertically down in the measurement container.
• Ensure that the transmitter is completely immersed in the liquid for maximum
accuracy.
• Ensure the protection cap holes are not blocked due to suspended particles in the
measuring liquid.

3.2.1 Installation in Static Liquid
Fig.4 shows the installation method used in case of static liquid
Fig.4. Installation in static liquid
• Place the transmitter away from liquid resource to avoid effects of vibration
and pressure influence. A stilling well is recommended for the best results.
• Remove the transmitter from the tank or use a stilling well while pumping the
liquid.
3.2.2 Installation in Flowing Liquid
Fig 5 shows the installation method used in case of liquid in an open channel, for example, reservoir area or river channel.
Fig.5. Installation in flowing liquid
A stilling well is recommended when there is a flowing liquid. A stilling well will dampen disruptions and provide a steady level for an accurate measurement.

4 Electrical Connections
This section provides general information on the electrical connections of Tek-Sub 4800C
0.062 ft Submersible Level Transmitter.
An external power supply delivering 12-36 VDC with minimum current capability of 40 mA DC (per transmitter) is required to power the control loop.
Fig.6 illustrates the connection of the power supply, transmitter, and receiver.
Fig.6. Power supply connections
The maximum receiver load resistance (RLmax) for the DC power supply voltage (Vs) is expressed as:
RLmax = Vs – 12V / 0.02A
Use of a shielded cable is recommended for control loop wiring.
Ensure proper ground connection. Improper grounding may lead to damage or poor signal integrity.
