The Barksdale Tank Level Transmitters are sensors for remote indication level of liquid media. They operate according to the float principle with magnetic transmission (Permanent magnet, Reed switch and resistor chain). The liquid level is indicated on indicating instruments connected to the sensor.
The USE3000 provides a max. length up to 3000 mm.
The USE6000 provides a max. length up to 6000 mm.
