Introduction

The Pyxis LSP-X01 Series sensor is a pressure-based, submersible level sensor that provide continuous level
measurement up to 393 inches (32.8 ft or 10 m) with a 4–20mA analog and Bluetooth digital output. The
sensor is uniquely designed to be configured via the

uPyxis®

Mobile or Desktop App for mobile or PC based

devices. The sensor is powered by 24 VDC external power supply commonly provided by the device it
is connected to (ie. OEM controller or external power source). This submersible liquid level sensor plat-
form is well suited for water, wastewater, oil, and other non-corrosive or corrosive liquids. LSP-X01 Series
pressure transducer is available in 316LSS, PVC, and PVDF options; suited for a wide variety of liquid ap-
plications. Each sensor comes equipped with 32 feet PTFE cable and the base unit from which the output
communication signal is terminated. See Selection Guide below on unit options with compatible materials
of construction.
