Submersible Level Sensor |
| PBLT2 Submersible Level Sensor |
The PBLT2 Submersible Level Transmitter is manufactured for years of trouble free service even in the harshest applications. The PBLT2 measure the height of the liquid above its position via a piezoresistive sensing element encased in a very heavy duty 316 SS housing. This unit is designed specifically for operation in wastewater and slurry applications. This system is suitable in sludge pits, clarifiers, alum tanks, sumps, lime slurries, oil tanks and reservoirs. The PBLT2 includes as standard superior lightning and surge protection utilizing dual arrestor technology - eliminating both power supply surges and lightning ground strike transients. The unit features an extra large 316 SS diaphragm to prevent clogging and is resistant to damage from floating solids and debris.
The unit is equipped with a 270 pound tensile strength, shielded, vented cable. Various cable lengths are available depending on your application. The transmitter is a two wire loop powered (13-30 VDC) design for simple electrical installation. An intrinsically safe design is available for installations in Class I, Div 1, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Div 1, Groups E, F, G; Class III, Div 1 hazardous locations.

Wireless Mesh I/O & Gateway |
Elpro's 915U-2 combines multi I/O and/or gateway functionality with the reliability of secure, scalable, mesh distance communications. Featuring ELPRO WIBMesh™ technology, the 915U-2 IP based addressing provides mesh/self healing of network communications, multi-hop repeating and remote over the air re-configuration and diagnostics.
What does this mean?
Basically, the wireless I/O modules data automatically finds its way to the destination module. Should one of the repeater modules in the link fail, the data will automatically search for a new path to its destination.
The model 915U-2 module works with analog signals (current and voltage), discrete

I/O, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP.
Features:
- 902-928 mhz FHSS License Free
- Full 1 watt power
- Remote over the air configuration
- 128 bit AES encryption
