How Level and Pressure Transmitters Improve Intelligent Fire Protection Systems
From: Issued date 2025.06.06 Back
In the era of smart infrastructure, fire protection systems have evolved from basic water sprinklers to advanced, data-driven, automated response mechanisms. Intelligent fire protection relies heavily on accurate sensing and real-time monitoring. Among the core sensing devices are level transmitters and pressure transmitters, which monitor water and pressure availability across tanks, pumps, pipelines, and sprinkler networks.
The Need for Sensors in Intelligent Fire Protection
Modern fire safety systems are no longer passive — they are connected, responsive, and integrated into building management systems (BMS). These systems include:
Water tanks and reservoirs
Foam concentrate storage
Fire pumps and valve networks
Sprinkler and mist delivery systems
Remote monitoring and alerting units
To ensure these critical elements are always ready, accurate pressure and level monitoring is essential — especially in environments such as commercial buildings, oil refineries, airports, and tunnels.
PCM260(WTL01) Submersible Level Transmitter in Fire Water and Foam Tanks
Precise Tank Monitoring for Water Availability
The PCM260(WTL01) from WTsensor is designed to measure the static pressure at the bottom of a tank and convert it to an accurate liquid level reading. It uses a high-performance piezoresistive diffused silicon sensor to deliver reliable output even in harsh outdoor fire protection environments.
