Depth – Water Level Bubbler

Water Level Bubbler

The PR-7200 is a complete water level bubbler system for measuring the depth of water.

An air tube runs from the PR-7200’s compact compressor to the water, where the tube is submerged. This allows the PR-7200 to be sited safely away from the water, meaning only replaceable tubing can be damaged.

Based on the advanced liquid level sensor of the PR-6100, the PR-7200 provides a measurement of the attached capillary tube pressure, conversion, output to recorders and controllers and control over the PR-7200 integrated compressor module.

Serial or Analogue Ouput?

The PR-7200 series can have either an analogue output or an integrated logger with serial output. It is possible to have both options simultaneously.

PR-7200 Operating Principal

When a measurement is activated by a preset command or by an external controller (logger, PLC, RTU etc.), a measurement sequence begins. The compressor runs for several seconds only and charges the capillary tube with a high flow purge. A dwell interval then allows the tube pressure to equalize with hydrostatic pressure for a set time period. After this, pressure measurement is taken, processed and displayed or output to the controller.

Australian Made

Greenspan has made our range of water quality sensors in Australia for over two decades. Our experience has allowed us to design sensors that reliably deliver accurate data in the harshest environments Australia has to offer.

With every Greenspan water quality sensor, you receive; local support from our experienced sales and service technicians, local repairs and recalibration from our Melbourne-based engineers, and access to local spares from our factory in Melbourne. No other brand of water quality sensor can offer such exceptional service.
