Principles of operation, design
The probe measures liquid levels, basing on a simple relationship between the height of the liquid column and the resulting hydrostatic pressure. The pressure measurement is carried out on the level of the separating diaphragm of the immersed probe and is related to atmospheric pressure through a capillary in the cable. The use of a special separator with a large uncovered diaphragm minimizes the metrological effect of sediment deposit on the diaphragm surface. This enables the probe long lifetime and proper work in contaminated media (even in the presence of abrasives, such as sand) and facilitates cleaning with delicate stream of running water (washing with water under pressure may damage the probe). The active sensing element is a piezoresistant silicon sensor separated from the medium by an isolating diaphragm. The electronic amplifier, which works in combination with the sensor, and is meant to standardize the signal, is additionally equipped with an overvoltage protection circuit, which protects the probe from damage caused by induced interference from atmospheric discharges or from associated heavy current engineering appliances.

Application
The SGE-25S and SGE-25C probes are applicable to measure levels of liquids containing contaminants or suspensions. A typical use for this probe is the measurement of levels of liquid waste in intermediate pumping stations, fermentation chambers, settling tanks etc.
