2 Product Description
This section covers the reference and specification data, as well as the ordering information.
2.1 Introduction
The Tek-Sub 4800D Wastewater Submersible Level Transmitter is exclusively designed for slurry and wastewater applications. Manufactured for precise level measurement, its clog-free silicon piezoresistive sensor determines the liquid level without being affected by debris. Packaged in stainless steel housing, the waterproof cable makes it ideal for long-term trouble-free service. The Tek-Sub 4800D is capable of real-time level measurement with several standard output signal options. The instantaneous level output is used for pump control to maintain the level or to report real-time level status.
This high-performance level measurement device is available in several level ranges, custom cable lengths and materials, making it an ideal match for various applications.
2.2 Measuring Principle
The Tek-Sub 4800D Wastewater Submersible Level Transmitter has a sensor attached to a long cable, which is lowered to the bottom of the tank or well. The sensor operates by measuring the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid. Hydrostatic pressure (or head pressure) is the pressure exerted by the fluid in the tank or well. The hydrostatic pressure measured by the sensor is determined by two parameters: the density and the height of liquid. With liquid density remaining constant, a change in hydrostatic pressure necessarily reflects a difference in liquid level.

2.3 Operation
A typical Tek-Sub 4800D Wastewater Submersible Level Transmitter application is shown in the following figure.
Fig.2. Mounting the transmitter
The pressure at the bottom of the tank or well is related to the height of the liquid. This level 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, hydrostatic pressure of 27.7" w.c. is approximately equivalent to 1 PSI. The volume of water or the shape of the tank or vessel will not affect the hydrostatic 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 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.

CAUTION
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 get 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
The Tek-Sub 4800D Wastewater Submersible Level Transmitter 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 flowing 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 flowing liquid. A stilling well will dampen disruptions and provide a steady level for accurate measurement
