PS3208 Hydrostatic Submersible Pressure Transmitter 0.25 bar 4‑20mA | IFM

The Original New IFM PS3208 Hydrostatic Submersible Pressure Transmitter is a low‑cost, simple level measurement solution for liquids in tanks, wells, reservoirs, and open channels. Designed for hydrostatic level measurement, this submersible pressure transmitter features an internally vented cable for atmospheric pressure compensation, ensuring accurate readings regardless of ambient pressure fluctuations. The robust stainless steel housing (316Ti/1.4571) with IP68 protection provides high ingress resistance for reliable operation in demanding industrial and environmental applications. The 5m PUR cable with internal vent tube simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity when operated as a two‑wire 4‑20 mA current loop.
