SLT Series Submersible Level

Transmitters
Submersible Level Transmitters
The ProSense SLT series submersible level sensors provide continuous liquid level measurement by
sensing the hydrostatic pressure produced by the height of liquid above the sensor and providing a
4-20 mA output signal compatible with PLCs, panel meters, data loggers, and other electronic
equipment. The shielded cable with atmospheric vent tube and a tough polyurethane jacket
incorporating an exclusive “water block” liner beneath the jacket is attached to the sensor using an
over-molding process that prevents moisture intrusion. The SLT1 series has a slim 1-inch diameter housing and a ported
bullet nose cap for protection of the sensor diaphragm. The SLT2 series features a large 2.75 inch diameter PTFE flexible
diaphragm surrounded by a 316 stainless steel non-fouling protective cage. Accessories include a desiccant vent filter,
aneroid bellows, junction boxes, and replacement nose caps.

* It is required that any excess cable length be accommodated in a service loop and that the cable NOT be shortened as this will void the warranty. If longer transmitter cable is needed,
terminate the sensor in an SLT-JB1 or SLT-JB2 junction box and run standard non-vented instrumentation cable between the junction box and the measuring electronics.

Submersible Level Transmitter Vent Filter
(Desiccant)
Vent filters utilize indicating desiccant to prevent moisture from entering the vent tube and
damaging transmitters with vented gage reference pressure. The desiccant will turn from blue
to pink when exposed to moisture indicating the need for maintenance. This vent filter design
prevents moisture from entering the vent tube for at least one year without maintenance.

Submersible Level Transmitter Aneroid Bellows

The aneroid bellows is a maintenance-free alternative to desiccant filters for moisture
protection on vented gage transmitters. Made of flexible neoprene material attached to
a polycarbonate mounting bracket, the bellows fluctuates with changes in atmospheric
pressure, maintaining a constant barometric reference. Note that the use of the bellows
results in a closed reference pressure system subject to zero shift errors induced by changing
temperatures of up to 0.003 psi/°C.

Always install a vent filter (desiccant) or aneroid bellows immediately after transmitter installation. Failure to use one or the other could result in
premature failure of the transmitter, which would not be covered by warranty.

Junction Boxes for Submersible Level
Transmitters
The submersible level transmitter junction boxes provide a water-resistant
enclosure for electrically connecting the transmitter cable to the user’s
system via a terminal strip. The enclosure also provides a convenient
location for terminating the transmitter’s vent tube to a vent filter
(included in Part No. SLT-JB1) or an aneroid bellows (included in Part No.
SLT-JB2). The enclosure is constructed of polycarbonate with a clear top
incorporating a neoprene seal. The junction box is rated IP56.

Application
•• If longer transmitter cable is needed, terminate the sensor in an SLT-JB1 or
SLT-JB2 junction box and run standard instrumentation cable between the
junction box and the measuring electronics.
