WIKA LS‑1000 Submersible Level Sensor Expands Explosion‑Proof Certification for Hazardous‑Area Hydrostatic Level Measurement
Reach Intellprime team for datasheet and hazardous‑zone installation guidance of LS‑1000 submersible sensor.
Hydrostatic submersible level sensors are widely applied for wastewater lifting stations, hydrocarbon storage tanks and power‑plant auxiliary vessels. When measuring flammable liquid media inside classified hazardous zones, instrument explosion‑proof qualification becomes mandatory. WIKA upgrades its LS‑1000 submersible level sensor portfolio with expanded ATEX and IECEx certification covering Zone 0 and Zone 1. Intellprime, as B2B industrial instrument service platform, interprets application value for process‑industry usersWIKA.
The LS‑1000 adopts fully‑welded stainless‑steel construction with IP68 permanent sealing grade. Every unit passes helium leak detection during factory acceptance test to eliminate hidden risk of liquid ingress into electronic compartment. The measuring range covers 1 m to 10 m water column, long‑term stability reaches ±0.2 %FS, effectively suppressing signal drift for long‑term field operation. Special strain‑relief cable structure protects sensor‑cable joint against pulling force under liquid flow agitation.
With new‑added ATEX / IECEx certification, this submersible transmitter can be deployed inside Zone 0 intrinsically‑safe locations such as open‑top flammable‑liquid tanks, which was a limitation for many conventional submersible instruments. Low‑power consumption supports battery‑driven installation for remote unmanned sites, without requirement for heavy field power cabling.
Typical service includes chemical wastewater treatment, oil‑fuel storage tanks, power‑plant sump vessels and offshore platform drain‑tank monitoring. It reduces field maintenance frequency and lowers total‑cost‑of‑ownership for end‑users.
