The APG PT-500-P1 Intrinsically Safe Submersible Pressure Transducer is the industry leader in terms of durability in submerged situations. It is approved for use in ATEX Zone 0/2, Class I Division 1, and Class I Division 2 hazardous environments. The PT-500-P1 is fitted with a nose cone and is intended for use with clean liquids. Due to its compact size, integrated electronics, wide operating temperature range, and durability, the PT-500 is the perfect instrument for static and dynamic pressure measurement.
Our submersible pressure transmitters are the only ones on the market that have integrated lightning protection. It is designed for use in severe conditions. With a 316L stainless steel laser-welded body, surge, and lightning protection. Despite its durability, it is nevertheless priced for industrial application. The submersible pressure transducer was designed to be both dependable and cost-effective. The PT-500 is a durable submersible pressure transmitter that is ideal for measuring liquid levels in tanks, water, and wastewater applications, as well as depth.

The Only One In Its Class
Built-In Lightning Protection
- Lightning strikes are always a threat to exposed electrical infrastructure – especially when it’s 40 feet underground. That’s why we’ve included built-in lightning protection as a standard feature for every model (including an intrinsically safe version).
Field Adjustable Zero
- Even the best submersible pressure transducers drift a little over time. Ours stands apart from the others because you can adjust the zero point in the field – bringing it back within spec. All it takes is a simple magnet (included). It’s easy to do and means you won’t need to have it recalibrated as often.
How To Re-Zero The PT-500 Submersible Pressure Transducer
Re-Usable Cage
- Need to protect your sensor? The cage is the ideal solution. However, there is an additional expense regardless of who you purchase from. When the time comes to replace your sensor, ours can be removed and reused, saving you money. Tight budgets can be challenging. Why not save as much of it as you can.
Low Power Consumption
- The Modbus and voltage output versions use very little power and have a very fast response time – ideal for battery-powered installations.
Tank Cloud Compatible
- Even when using solar or battery-powered systems, the PT-500’s low power consumption makes it suitable for remote monitoring. The Modbus version is compatible with our online remote monitoring software, Tank Cloud. View level readings online for free on our Tank Cloud portal – levelandflow.com. You can even add in low-cost data logging and alarms. Tank Cloud means you can keep an eye on your remote tanks and wells from your office or your smartphone.
