About the APR3420 Sludge Platform Submersible Depth/Level Pressure Transducer

The APR3420 submersible depth and level transmitter has been designed for accurate level measurement where sediment is present. The integral sludge platform ensures that the sensing element is elevated above the sediment level.

The submersible range of pressure transmitters has been designed for the accurate measurement of the depth and level of liquids in many applications. Standard output signal is 4-20 mA, and electrical connection is via a high strength molded cable with integral tube for trouble-free venting to the surface atmosphere.

An optional ATEX and IECEx approved version of this product is available for explosion protection for flammable gases (zone 0), dusts (zone 20) and mining areas (group I M1).

Other features APR3420 Depth/Level Pressure Transducer

  • High strength, molded cable for protection against ingress
  • ATEX/IECEx option available (includes M1 for mining applications)
