The LMK382 submersible level transmitter is well-suited for monitoring water levels in storm water detention tanks. This low-range transmitter, with its 0 to 5 mWG (20 ftWG) pressure range, provides accurate and reliable level measurement in these critical drainage systems.
Detention tanks play a vital role in managing stormwater runoff by temporarily storing excess water during heavy rainfall events. This helps to reduce the risk of flooding and erosion by controlling the flow of water into the existing drainage infrastructure. The LMK382‘s IP68 rating ensures its durability and reliable operation when fully submerged in water. Its robust stainless steel 316L housing and ceramic Al2O3 96% diaphragm can withstand the harsh conditions often found in detention tanks, including debris, sediment, and varying water quality.
The flush diaphragm and detachable nose cone design of the LMK382 is particularly advantageous in detention tank applications. This configuration minimizes the potential for clogging or fouling caused by suspended solids or debris commonly found in stormwater runoff. The detachable nose cone allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the long-term accuracy and performance of the sensor.
The LMK382‘s 4-20mA output signal provides a widely compatible and robust analog signal for transmitting level data to a monitoring or control system. This enables real-time monitoring of water levels in the detention tank, facilitating effective management of stormwater runoff. The 20-foot PVC cable provides ample length for installation in most detention tank configurations.
This level transmitter is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of stormwater detention tanks. Accurate level measurement allows operators to monitor storage capacity, control discharge rates, and prevent overflows, contributing to effective stormwater management and flood mitigation.
