Designed for level measurement of fresh water and wastewater, the Waterpilot FMX 167. This transmitter has a reliable and resistant cable probe with a ceramic measuring cell, for level measurement in water wells and lift stations. A few of the numerous areas the Waterpilot is applicable for include: sumps, water remediation systems, lift stations, cooling towers, tank level, and replacement of bubbler systems.

The Waterpilot is available with measuring ranges from 3 to 600 ftH2O increasing its application area to include deep wells and reservoirs. With its compact outer diameter of 0.87 (22 mm), the Waterpilot is perfect for use in standard 1 inch well casings, offering easy installation into retrofit applications. The permanent hermetically sealed cable probe allows it to be completely submersible making it ideal for the water and wastewater industry.

The Waterpilot features high mechanical resistance to overload and aggressive media. The rugged terminal housing allows for increased durability, and the NEMA 4X with GORE-TEX® filter enables condensation-free pressure compensation.

The ceramic measuring cell is stable long-term and offers high precision and accuracy. Environmental protection is assured with the potted electronics and 2-filter pressure compensation system. The Waterpilot features loop-powered 4 to 20 mA output signal and integrated overvoltage protection for safety of the plant and personnel. An optional integrated Pt 100 temperature sensor is available for simultaneous level and temperature measurement, increasing the flexibility of the transmitter.

The Waterpilot has drinking water approvals of NSF, KTW, and ACS. The transmitter is FM and CSA approved IS, Class I, Division 1, Groups A-G certified to ATEX II 2G/EEx ia.
