The PS3208 is an IFM hydrostatic submersible pressure transmitter designed for continuous liquid-level measurement. It features a 0.25 bar measuring range and 5 m PUR cable. The transmitter is intended for standard industrial applications involving water and compatible liquids. Its PUR cable provides a practical solution for submerged level measurement. The device converts hydrostatic pressure into an analogue output for connected monitoring or control equipment.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The PS3208 determines liquid level by measuring hydrostatic pressure. Its 0.25 bar range is suited to low liquid heads and shallow-level applications. Continuous pressure measurement provides level information to connected automation equipment. The transmitter can be suspended at a selected depth within the liquid. This allows simple and reliable level monitoring.
The PS3208 uses a 5 m PUR cable for submerged installation. PUR cable construction is intended for standard applications and provides suitable flexibility for installation. The cable incorporates pressure compensation required for hydrostatic measurement. The 5 m cable length supports installations with moderate depth. IFM identifies PS3208 as a standard CE-approved 0.25 bar / 5 m PUR version.
The transmitter is suitable for tanks, reservoirs and water-management systems. Its submerged installation principle provides direct measurement of liquid head. The analogue output allows level information to be used in monitoring and control systems. It can support automatic filling, emptying and level-alarm functions. The standard construction is suited to general industrial applications.
The PS3208 can be used in water tanks, reservoirs and liquid storage systems. It is suitable for low-level measurement and water-management applications. The transmitter can support pump control based on measured liquid level. It can also provide level information to PLC and monitoring systems. Its 5 m cable is suitable for relatively shallow submerged installations.
