OPTIBAR LC 1010

Submersible level probe for reliable hydrostatic level measurement in water and wastewater applications.

 Compact, robust and easy to install for continuous operation in harsh environments.

Overview

The OPTIBAR LC 1010 is a slim and durable submersible level probe designed for continuous level monitoring in liquids. Built with a robust housing and a high overload-resistant ceramic diaphragm, it ensures reliable performance and long service life in demanding environments.

Its compact outer diameter makes it simple to install in wells, tanks and narrow pipes. Combined with corrosion-resistant materials and optional HART® communication, the OPTIBAR LC 1010 offers flexibility, accuracy and ease of integration across water, wastewater and environmental applications.
