Monitor water levels in your 2.5m deep underground tank with this submersible 4-20mA level transmitter. Ideal for rainwater harvesting and BMS integration.
The IMSL Submersible Water Level Transmitter is a crucial component in effectively managing underground rainwater harvesting systems, especially for those with a 2.5-meter deep cylindrical tank. These tanks, often constructed from durable materials like polyethylene or fiberglass, are designed to collect and store rainwater runoff from rooftops and other surfaces. The collected water can then be used for non-potable purposes such as irrigation, toilet flushing, and washing machines, reducing reliance on mains water and promoting sustainable water management.
Monitoring the water level within these underground tanks is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for efficient utilization of the stored rainwater. By knowing the exact water level, the BMS can optimize water usage and prevent the tank from running dry during periods of high demand. This is particularly important in applications where rainwater is the primary source of water for certain functions.
Secondly, level monitoring helps prevent overflow situations. During heavy rainfall, the tank can fill rapidly. Accurate level measurement allows the BMS to activate overflow systems or divert excess water to prevent flooding and potential damage to the tank or surrounding infrastructure.
The IMSL transmitter, with its 2.5 mWC pressure range, is perfectly matched to the 2.5-meter depth of your underground tank. This ensures accurate measurement across the entire water column, from empty to full. The 4-20mA output signal provides a continuous and reliable level reading to the BMS, enabling real-time monitoring and automated control. This data can be used to trigger alarms, control pumps, and provide valuable insights into water consumption patterns.
The submersible design of the IMSL transmitter offers a significant advantage for underground tank installations, particularly in cases where the tank is buried directly without a dedicated maintenance access pit. Unlike externally mounted sensors that require access to the tank wall for installation and maintenance, the IMSL can be easily lowered into the tank through a small opening, simplifying installation and minimizing disruption. This is especially beneficial for retrofitting level monitoring systems in existing tanks where external access is limited or impractical.
Furthermore, the IMSL transmitter’s robust design ensures long-term reliability in the challenging environment of an underground tank. The stainless steel housing and protective cone safeguard the sensor from moisture, corrosion, and physical damage, ensuring consistent performance and accurate readings over time.
By integrating the IMSL submersible water Level transmitter with your BMS, you can effectively manage your rainwater harvesting system, optimize water usage, and ensure the long-term sustainability of your water resources.
