803 and 803F Armored Submersible Level Transmitters

Description

Armored hydrostatic level measurement

The 803 family uses a submerged pressure probe connected to a separate electronics head for continuous liquid level measurement. Choose the stainless steel 803/803S configuration for compatible noncorrosive liquids, or the PTFE 803F configuration for compatible acidic, alkaline and other corrosive liquids. Automatic temperature compensation and linear calibration support stable signal conversion.

803 and 803S stainless steel specifications

The stainless steel models serve water tanks, reservoirs, wells, municipal water and wastewater systems, fire-water storage, irrigation and compatible industrial liquids. The probe uses a three-layer protective structure, an optimized pressure inlet and a double-shielded vented cable.

803F PTFE corrosion-resistant specifications

803F uses a ceramic sensing core, PTFE probe and PTFE cable with a 2088-style armored electronics enclosure. The combination is intended for compatible corrosive media in chemical processing, industrial storage, wastewater treatment, acid and alkali monitoring, and environmental process systems. Standard and digital-display versions are available. Calibration uses a Druck calibration system.

The 803F installation sheet shows free-hanging, mounting-bracket, threaded and flange arrangements. The bracket illustration identifies a D60 mounting pipe. Each arrangement places the vented probe cable between the head and the submerged sensor and shows an approximately 5mm bottom dead zone. Use the attached drawings to identify the dimension endpoints and installation arrangement.

Bracket-mounted ELE-803F and ELE-803SF options

Bracket-mounted corrosion-resistant configurations are available with a 30mm probe for liquids compatible with PTFE and PVDF. ELE-803SF adds a four-digit LCD. Select the specific construction and signal version; these configurations have the ratings below.
