Submersible Level Transmitter Robust Construction

Equipped with Stork Solutions’ exclusive cable gland, rigorously developed and pressure tested to withstand up to 10 bar / 100m of permanent submersion, the SLS-LC Series ensures exceptional reliability. This robust construction makes these sensors a cost-effective choice for a wide array of applications.

Versatile Output Options

The SLS-LC Series is available with raw millivolt output, making it an ideal solution for low power battery applications. Alternatively, an internal microprocessor can be fitted to provide amplified output options, including 4-20mA, 0-10V, or 0.5 to 4.5V ratiometric. This flexibility allows you to select the output that best fits your specific needs.

Superior Performance

The onboard 16-bit microprocessor empowers the SLS-LC Series with enhanced features such as high-level linearisation, temperature compensation, and precise calibration. This intricate engineering guarantees unmatched accuracy, stability, and repeatability in every measurement.

SLS-LC Submersible level transmitter Applications

The SLS LC Level Sensor is widely used in environmental monitoring due to its robust design and high accuracy. In this context, the sensor is deployed to track water levels in natural and man-made environments, providing essential data for understanding hydrological cycles, detecting changes in water bodies, and supporting environmental protection initiatives. Its submersible nature allows for reliable operation even in harsh outdoor conditions, making it ideal for long-term monitoring projects.

Another important application is V-notch weir flow measurement. The sensor can be installed in conjunction with V-notch weirs to accurately determine the flow rate of water in open channels. By continuously measuring the water level upstream of the weir, the SLS LC Level Sensor enables precise calculation of flow, which is critical for water resource management, irrigation systems, and wastewater treatment facilities.

The sensor is also suitable for use in rivers, reservoirs, and boreholes. In these settings, it provides real-time data on water levels, which is vital for managing water supplies, monitoring drought or flood conditions, and ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources. Its ability to function at various depths and in different water qualities makes it a versatile tool for hydrologists and water authorities.

For tank, IBC, and tote level measurement, the SLS LC Level Sensor offers a reliable solution for monitoring liquid levels in storage containers. This application is particularly valuable in industrial and agricultural settings, where maintaining optimal levels of chemicals, fuels, or water is essential for operational efficiency and safety. The sensor’s compatibility with a range of liquids and container types enhances its utility in these environments.

In the realm of telemetry and data logging, the SLS LC Level Sensor can be integrated with remote monitoring systems to transmit real-time level data to centralized databases. This capability is crucial for applications where on-site monitoring is impractical, such as remote reservoirs or flood-prone areas. The data collected can be used for trend analysis, predictive maintenance, and regulatory compliance.

Flood defence monitoring and research is another key area where the SLS LC Level Sensor excels. By providing continuous and accurate water level measurements, the sensor supports early warning systems and helps authorities respond proactively to potential flood events. Its data is also valuable for post-event analysis and the development of improved flood mitigation strategies.

Finally, the sensor is frequently used in academic research. Researchers in hydrology, environmental science, and engineering rely on the SLS LC Level Sensor for its precision and durability. It enables the collection of high-quality data for experiments, field studies, and long-term monitoring projects, contributing to advancements in water resource management and environmental protection.
