We want a 1-5Vdc output submersible pressure sensor which is seawater compatible to monitor the level of a salt water ballast tank over a range of 0 to 2.5 metres.
We would suggest the marine approved LMK458 with the range you require, but since it has a 4-20mA output you will need to add a 4-20mA to 1-5Vdc converter. There are two types of converter available, the 420i is loop powered but drops the voltage by a maximum of 9.5 volts, and the SLIMCON which must be separately powered by a 18-30Vdc supply.
