HORSHAM, PA – The new WELL WATCHER hydrostatic level gauging system from AMETEK Drexelbrook is an easy-to-use, high-accuracy liquid level measurement system designed for a wide range of applications from basic well-level measurement to sophisticated process tank level control—at substantially lower cost than comparable systems.

The WELL WATCHER is a cost-effective alternative to other electronic devices, such as capacitance sensors, conductivity probes, ultrasonic or radar devices that are expensive and are limited to narrow applications. Unlike mechanical systems, such as floats and bubblers that require extensive maintenance, the WELL WATCHER offers simple installation with virtually no maintenance.  No calibration is required.

The WELL WATCHER system consists of a rugged stainless steel submersible transmitter and a fully calibrated microprocessor-controlled digital meter.  The system can be factory calibrated for inches, feet or meters of water or any desired engineering units and carries a full two-year warranty.  Combined in a compact NEMA 4X meter housing, the WELL WATCHER is simply the most versatile, easy-to-use level measurement system on the market.

The piezoresistive technology of the electronic transmitter indicates liquid level by continuously measuring hydrostatic pressure through its nose-mounted sensing element. 

Accuracy of the WELL WATCHER is +/- 0.25 percent of full scale including linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability.  The device operates in depths from six feet to 690 feet (210 meters) at pressures up to 300 psi.

The customized WELL WATCHER meter displays data from the transmitter, provides excitation voltage, and transmits an analog signal for remote recording, alarm, or control functions. Its dual-programmable set points permit high-high, low-low, or high-low control with adjustable hysteresis. The large, easy-to-read 4-digit LED display gives local indication, while the optional isolated analog output can interface with ancillary display, recording, or control devices. Two relays are provided for pump control or to activate alarms.

AMETEK Drexelbrook has over 45 years of experience in developing and manufacturing high-quality level measurement devices.  It is a unit of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electric motors with annual sales of more than $1 billion.
