Most installations of our submersible pressure transducers connect the polyurethane cable to a junction
box. From this junction box, users typically run their own cable to the required instrumentation. The
vented cable termination end is especially prepared at the factory to eliminate the potential for future
moisture migration down its length. It can be noticed where the lead wires emerge from under the jacket
that a potting material plus shrink tube “boot” have been added. Every effort should be made to leave
this feature intact. Should the cable be longer than is needed for the particular installation, it is
recommended that the excess length be accommodated in a service loop and that the potted end of cable
NOT be shortened.
The cable attached to this instrument is specifically engineered for submersible applications. The
polyurethane outer jacket provides long term reliability under most conditions. The cable should be
handled carefully, however, as the jacket may be subject to cutting should it be “raked” over extremely
sharp edges. To guard against water incursion should an inadvertent minor cut occur, we have
incorporated an exclusive “water block” feature immediately beneath the jacket. The cable is fully
shielded, with the shield connected to the metal housing at the transducer end and terminated in a drain
wire at the termination or user end. The shield should always be terminated to a good earth ground,
unless the transducer is installed in an area where galvanic corrosion is known to be a serious problem.

Level Transducer Part # 2610523
KPSI Series 700 Submersible Level Transducer
Accessories:
Features:
• Small Size (1.47” diameter x 2.5” in height)
• Maintenance-Free
• Field installed to Sensor Cable vent tube
• Includes short 3” length of DIN-3 rail, Mounting Clips
and hardware.
The Series 815 sensitive aneroid bellows is compatible with all
KPSI submersible transducers and responds to changes in
atmospheric pressure ensuring reliable and accurate liquid
level measurements while remaining a closed system.
The aneroid bellows is a maintenance-free alternative to
traditional older technologies of inline desiccant cartridge
packs that require strict maintenance schedules for fault-free
operation and warranty protection. This widely used aneroid
bellows will prevent moisture from entering and condensing in the vent tube of a submersible pressure
transducer cable.
The aneroid bellows is constructed of a rugged yet flexible polymer material, which is compact in size
for ease of field-installation within a preferred mounting location inside a junction box or control panel.
The aneroid bellows device includes a bottom flexible extension that easily accepts the sensor cable vent
tub
