LevelRat, Non-Fouling Submersible Level Transmitter
LevelRat, Non-Fouling Submersible Level Transmitter
The LevelRat non-fouling submersible level transmitter is specifically designed for use in environments that would clog a traditional level transmitter such as lift stations. The unique diaphragm combines increased durability and Teflon-like non-stick properties to provide increased service time without maintenance. Additionally, the small profile minimizes accumulated solids, while simplifying installation.
Models equipped with 4-20mA analog output include guaranteed lightning protection at no additional cost. This feature protects the LevelRat from fast-rising transients and carries a lifetime guarantee against damage from electrical surge. The LevelRat is assembled in the USA to customer specifications, including custom pressure ranges and cable lengths. Most orders ship in 3 business days or less.

Description
The LevelRat submersible level transmitter provides an infinite combination of level ranges, output options, and cable lengths. This ensures the perfect fit for monitoring equipment. These level transmitters are frequently paired with a SCADA, PLC, compatible display, or control system for use as a water level indicator or controller.
Submersible level transmitters, from KELLER America, offer high accuracy down to 900 feet. Additionally, they have built-in lifetime lightning protection and standard three day shipping. Known for their superior reliability, reasonable cost, and ready availability, Keller submersible level transmitters feature small size and integral signal conditioning. Their design simplifies installation anywhere quality liquid level sensors are necessary.
Non-Fouling Submersible Level Transmitter for Lift Stations and Wastewater Applications
With a design for extending service in sewage lift station environments, the LevelRat features a wide sensing diaphragm, yet small overall size. Many competing models feature a fragile, Teflon-coated rubber diaphragm. However, the LevelRat incorporates a monolithic diaphragm that combines the non-stick quality of Teflon with superior toughness and abrasion resistance.
The LevelRat utilizes piezoresistive silicon measurement technology and KELLER’s state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based signal conditioning circuitry. This design and construction provides outstanding accuracy and reliability over a wide temperature range.
Perfect for pump control applications, the LevelRat is compatible with any standard 2-wire, 4-20 mA current loop, or 3-wire voltage systems. The RS485 interface allows users to scale the analog output to any necessary range within the standard pressure range. The LevelRat typically suspends into the liquid by a standard PE-jacket cable that is self-supporting and features a vent. Optional Hytrel or Tefzel-jacket cables are available if the installation should require greater protection against chemical interaction.
