Continuous Level Measurement Instead of Float Switches

Continuous Level Measurement Instead of Float Switches

Switching from float devices to a modern solution with the 26 Y KELLER Level Transmitter

provides a continuous measuring system to control wastewater levels.

Inefficient Wastewater Level Measurement System

The customer needed a wastewater level measurement system, which was initially solved 

with floating switches. Switch one would cause the tank to fill when the level dropped to

a minimum, switch two would stop filling the tank at maximum level, whereas switch three 

acted as an alarm not to refill the tank.

Taking the Shortcut

Instead of using several floating devices, the company opted for the 26 Y KELLER Level 

Transmitter.

The main advantages of hydrostatic measurement compared to float switches in an

 application with wastewaters are:

• Hydrostatic level sensors do not detect foam as a level of liquid (as it is the case with ultrasonic sensors), and therefore provide precise level values
• No false signals because of no mechanical parts inside
• Continuous measurement
• Level values can be read off a display
