Level Sensor

Product catalog summary

Overview: McCrometer CONNECT offers two level sensors, LEVEL-WATCH and LEV1, designed for measuring water levels in various environments such as streams, rivers, reservoirs, irrigation ditches, wells, and tanks. Both sensors provide high accuracy and are available in different measuring ranges.

Specifications:

Type of Reading: Both sensors use hydrostatic pressure, relative and compensated against barometric pressure.
Measurement Ranges: LEVEL-WATCH offers 5 PSI (11.53 feet w.c.) and 15 PSI (34.60 feet w.c.). LEV1 offers ranges of 0-5 m (7.11 PSI, 16.40 feet w.c.), 0-10 m (14.22 PSI, 32.81 feet w.c.), and 0-30 m (42.67 PSI, 98.43 feet w.c.).
Pressure Limit: LEVEL-WATCH has a limit of 2x FS, while LEV1 has a maximum pressure of 290 PSI (20 bar).
Output Signal: LEVEL-WATCH provides a standard 4 to 20mA DC 2-wire signal, with an optional 1 to 5V DC interface. LEV1 provides a 0.1 to 2.5V DC signal.
Power Supply: LEVEL-WATCH requires 10 to 33V DC, while LEV1 requires 3.2 to 12V DC.
Temperature Range: Both sensors have specific storage and operating temperature ranges, with LEVEL-WATCH having a thermal effect of 0.25%: ±0.45% FS TEB and LEV1 operating from -40 to 80°C.
Accuracy: LEVEL-WATCH offers ±0.25% or ±0.10% of FS, while LEV1 offers ±0.1% FS.
Electrical Protection: Both sensors are surge/lightning protected per EN61000-4-5, Class 5, but damage is not covered by the standard warranty.
Type Approvals: Both sensors are CE approved.

Connections:

Cable Length: LEVEL-WATCH has a 20 feet vented cable for the 5 PSI model, while LEV1 has a 49.2 feet vented sensor to breather box cable.
Jacket Material: LEVEL-WATCH uses polyether polyurethane, and LEV1 uses polyethylene (PE).
Termination: LEVEL-WATCH uses wire pigtail connections, while LEV1 uses a 7-pin M9 Binder male connection.

Physical Characteristics:

Dimensions: LEVEL-WATCH measures 6.25 in. x 0.628 in. dia., and LEV1 measures 3.74 x 0.9 in. dia.
Weight: LEVEL-WATCH body weighs 0.235 lb, and LEV1 weighs 1.5 lb.

Ordering Information: Specific models and optional accessories are available, with details provided for ordering different cable lengths and interfaces.
