Filter beds
Technical Highlights & Environmental Resilience
-
Non-contact operation, unaffected by turbulence, foam, or obstructions
-
CSM rubber faceplate resists methane gas, saltwater, corrosives, and harsh chemicals—common in wastewater treatment
-
Optional submergence shield ensures continued accurate output during full submersion
-
Advanced signal processing algorithm ensures stable and reliable measurement
System Compatibility
XRS-5 is compatible with the full range of Siemens level controllers—from basic point-level alarms and simple pump control to advanced systems with communication, telemetry, and SCADA integration.
