Working Principle

The working principle of the level transmitter is that when the two pressures of the measured medium are passed into the high and low pressure chambers, they act on both sides of the isolation diaphragm of the δ-element (i.e., the sensitive element), and are transmitted to both sides of the measurement diaphragm through the isolation piece and the filling liquid inside the element.

(Float) level transmitter is by the measurement diaphragm and the electrodes on both sides of the insulating sheet each side of a capacitor. When the two sides of the pressure is not consistent, resulting in the measurement of the diaphragm displacement, the displacement and pressure difference is proportional to the two sides of the capacitance is not equal, through the oscillation and demodulation link, converted into a signal proportional to the pressure.The working principle of pressure transmitter and absolute pressure transmitter is the same as that of differential pressure transmitter, but the difference is that the pressure in the low pressure chamber is atmospheric pressure or vacuum.

The A/D converter converts the current from the demodulator into a digital signal, the value of which is used by the microprocessor to determine the input pressure value.The microprocessor controls the operation of the transmitter.In addition, it performs sensor linearization.Resets measurement ranges.Engineering unit conversions, damping, open-square, sensor fine-tuning and other operations, as well as diagnostics and digital communications.

This microprocessor has 16 bytes of program RAM and has three 16-bit counters, one of which performs the A/D conversion.

The D/A converter takes the corrected digital signal from the microprocessor and fine-tunes the data, which can be modified by the transmitter software.The data is stored in EEPROM and remains intact even in the event of a power failure.

The digital communication line provides the transmitter with an interface to an external device such as a Model 205 Smart Communicator or a control system utilizing the HART protocol.This line detects the digital signal superimposed on the 4-20 mA signal and transmits the required information through the loop.The type of communication is frequency-shifted keyed FSK technology and is based on the BeII202 standard.

1. It is best to choose a stabilized power supply to supply power separately.The stability of the power supply affects the performance index of the transmitter, and it is better to control its error below one-fifth of the allowable error of the transmitter.For products with special power supply requirements, special power supply must be connected.

2. The signal line of the level transmitter should take the cable with shielding to prevent electromagnetic wave interference.

3. Connect the transmitter according to the correct wiring method, and its power-on time should be fifteen to thirty minutes.

4. If the level transmitter is installed in pools, water towers and other occasions, you can sink its probe in the bottom of the water, away from the location of the water flow rate is too fast.

5. In a submersible pump and other large fluctuations in the use of level transmitter installation is best to use the method of inserting steel pipe, steel pipe to be fixed firmly, every distance on the steel pipe to open a hole in the position of the steel pipe away from the water inlet and outlet.

6. Junction box to be fixed firmly, or install a fixed bracket, to prevent in a dry, shaded place, can not be rained on 

7. Protect the ventilation cable, can not be bent or blocked, not to mention damage, excess cable can be coiled up in the neighborhood.

8. Outdoor installation of the level transmitter should also take lightning protection measures.
