Safety Instructions
1. Prior to installation or removal:

• Depressurize and vent system
• Drain below sensor level

2. Confi rm chemical compatibility before use.
3. Do not exceed maximum temperature/pressure specifi cations.
4. Wear safety goggles or faceshield during installation/service.
5. Do not alter product construction.
6. Dispose of properly; DO NOT INCINERATE!

Signet 2250 Hydrostatic Level Sensor

1. Description

2. Specifi cations

The Signet 2250 Hydrostatic Level Sensor uses a gauge pressure sensor to calculate the level of fl uid in a tank.
Gauge pressure sensors measure the difference in pressure between the process on one side of a diaphragm and the atmospheric

pressure on the opposite side of the diaphragm. A tiny capillary tube running from inside the sensor body and
up the length of the cable provides the reference to atmospheric pressure.

Hydrostatic level measurement can be a simple and practical solution to those applications where the fl uid
temperature is stable and constant.

IMPORTANT! This method of level measurement is not recommended if the fl uid is subject to
temperature variations or any other variable that causes the density of the fl uid to change.

The 2250 Hydrostatic Level Sensor has excellent chemical compatibility.
The wetted materials are PVDF, Ceramic and FPM.

Several different hardware mounting kits are available to accommodate every installation requirement.
