1 Siemens AG 06 SITRANS LH00 Transmitter for hydrostatic level Overview Function U const. p U I EM The pressure transmitter SITRANS LH00 is a submersible sensor for hydrostatic level measurement. The pressure transmitter measures the liquid levels in tanks, containers, channels and dams. The SITRANS LH00 pressure transmitters are available for various measuring ranges and with explosion protection as an option. A junction box and a cable hanger are available as accessories for simple installation. Sensor Connection for auxiliary power supply Vent pipe with humidity filter Protective conductor connection/ Equipotential bonding Diaphragm Benefits Compact design Simple installation Small error in measurement (0. %) Degree of protection IP68 Application SITRANS LH00 pressure transmitters are used in the following branches, for example: Shipbuilding Water/waste water supply For use in unpressurized/open vessels and wells The pressure transmitter has a built-in ceramic sensor which is equipped with a Wheatstone resistance bridge. These pressure transmitters are equipped with an electronic circuit fitted together with the sensor in a stainless steel housing. In addition, the connecting cable contains a vent pipe which is equipped with a humidity filter to prevent the build-up of condensation. The diaphragm is protected against external influences by a protective cap. The sensor, the electronics and the connecting cable are housed in an enclosure with small dimensions. The pressure transmitter is temperature-compensated for a wide temperature range. SITRANS LH00 pressure transmitter, mode of operation and connection diagram On one side of the sensor (), the diaphragm () is exposed to the hydrostatic pressure which is proportional to the submersion depth. This pressure is compared with atmospheric pressure. Pressure compensation is carried out using the vent pipe () in the connecting cable. The vent pipe is equipped with a humidity filter which prevents the build-up of condenstation in the vent pipe. The hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column acts on the diaphragm of the sensor and transmits the pressure to the Wheatstone resistance bridge in the sensor. The output voltage of the sensor is applied to the electronic circuit where it is converted into an output current of to 0 ma. The protective conductor connection/equipotential bonding () is connected to the enclosure. Integration It is generally recommended that the connecting cable of the SITRANS LH00 transmitter is connected to the junction box, which can be ordered separately, and secured with the cable hanger, also available separately. The junction box has to be installed near the measuring point. If the medium is anything other than water, it is also necessary to check compatibility with the specified materials of the transmitter.
