Multitrode Probe - Wastewater Level Sensor

Has proved to be the most reliable and cost-effective liquid level sensor available. It was designed for the arduous and turbulent conditions encountered in sewerage, and works in any conductive liquid. Comes with a 10-year warranty.

Ultra-Reliable Liquid Level

Ultra-Reliable Liquid Level Sensor

Supplied as a 10-sensor in a variety of lengths, 3-sensor or single sensor. Custom versions also available.

A failsafe version of the single sensor probe has just been released.

  • Virtually nil maintenance required
  • Simple installation from outside of sump
  • Easy visibility of start and stop points
  • Unaffected by fat, grease, debris and foam
  • Excellent in turbulent sumps
  • Safe, low sensing voltage  

 

 Ultra reliable liquid level sensor installation

How reliable is it?

Ultra-reliable. There are no moving parts and no electronics, so it will last for 20+ years. That's why it gets a 10 year warranty.
No other liquid level sensor comes close.

  

What control devices can use it?

Anything that measures conductivity. The control device should apply a low a.c. voltage (recommend around 10-12 volts) to each sensor and measure conductivity to ground:

  • For lift stations under water/wastewater utility control - try the MultiSmart pump station manager
  • For smaller sumps and storm water applications with 2 pumps where no monitoring is required, try the MTDPC pump controller
  • For 1 and 2 pump applications with no alternation use the MTIC
  • For the simplest control, you can use the MTR family of relays
  • For ultra-reliable high level, use the new failsafe version with the Safe-FS Level Alarm Relay


           

What skills are needed to install a level probe?

Only reading the instructions! Probe installation is easily achieved without the need to enter the wet area. The probe is simply lowered in from the top and suspended by its own cable, using the mounting kit supplied. Install near the inflow, not in the quietest part of the well!

How do I calibrate it?

No calibration required. No waiting for the well to empty and fill. You can choose the start, stop and alarm points and you can see where they are.

How much maintenance does it need?

Usually very little or none. Install it near the inflow and it stays relatively clean. If there is any build up, it occurs on the activation sensor and rarely affects the operation.

This probe was still fully operational despite the buildup. The operator is pulling the probe through the standard cleaning bracket to clean off the buildup.

Installation at Wessex Water, UK.

The mounting bracket shown is supplied as standard with the multi-sensor probe and includes the cleaning bracket.
The single sensor probe doesn't come with a mounting bracket as standard.

 



Why do we like the Probe? It’s simple, safe, cuts maintenance time and makes life so much easier!
Gray Walls, Public Works Director, Town of Troy, NC

My name is Ed Smith and I’m the foreman for the City of Mason public utilities department. We installed the MultiTrode system last June and have had a very good track record with the system. All the folks at MultiTrode have been a big help when ever we needed some help - they have been there for us day or night. Our call-in rate went down by 40%. This has a lot do with the fact that we no longer have floats to get caught on things in the wet well, like steps and guide rails and the fact that float some times don’t always turn back over. The MultiTrode system has been a big help in the PM of our pump stations.

I had no idea what a probe was, until I had to clean it 11 years later.

What is a Pump Station Manager?
What is a Pump Station Manager?
Monitoring and Control

The new face of technology for lift stations & pump stations. The MultiSmart pump station manager provides a telemetry / SCADA solution with a wealth of asset management data. The product combines a PLC, RTU, pump controller and other control panel components - reducing control panel cost, energy and CO2 emissions, and operations costs. DNP3 and Modbus protocols ensure a connection to any SCADA system.
