Integrating sensors into a chemical plant for seamless remote monitoring doesn’t have to be complicated. With Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG)’s PT-503 submersible pressure transmitter, you can achieve reliable and precise liquid level monitoring in a durable, chemical resistant design. Here’s how the PT-503 transforms remote monitoring for the modern chemical plant.
Remote monitoring is essential in chemical plants. The PT-503 allows for real-time data access, allowing for around-the-clock monitoring of tanks filled with chemicals. With remote access, there’s no need for on-site visits solely to check tank levels, which can save time and operational costs. Plus, the PT-503 can also send out alerts if a tank gets too full, preventing overspills and avoiding downtime for cleanup.
Eliminate the risk of human error with automatic data collection. The data comes directly from the sensor itself, improving accuracy, enabling operators to manage several sensors at once, improving efficiency. The PT-503’s PVDF body allows it to monitor tanks filled with chemicals that would ruin a stainless-steel sensor, further increasing the range of chemicals it can monitor.
Setting up the PT-503 is simple and straightforward. It’s typically used with a PLC or SCADA system. Featuring amplified outputs of 4–20 mA and 0.5–4.5 VDC, it minimizes setup time and ensures reliable performance. Typical installation methods include mounting a cable clamp or gripe at the top of a tank to prevent the cord from falling into a tank. The PT-503 is designed to be free-hanging, but it can also safely lay on the bottom of the tank or pool if the cable length allows it. If your tank contains sediment, it’s recommended to suspend the PT-503 just above the sediment layer. For more detailed instructions, see our installation guide.
