Supported Applications
The Omega LVU800 Series is a general-purpose, non-contact ultrasonic level transmitter designed for continuous liquid level measurement in tanks and vessels. The series provides loop-powered output suitable for connection to PLCs, SCADA systems, DCS units, displays, or controllers. Documented applications include challenging environments involving ultrapure liquids, corrosive media, and waste liquids such as wastewater and sodium hydroxide storage.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The LVU800 Series operates with a supply voltage of 12 to 28 Vdc. The transducer material is Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), requiring verification of chemical compatibility with the application media. Maximum working pressure (MWP) is rated at 30 psi, derated above 25°C.
Performance specifications vary by model range:
- Accuracy: ±0.2% of span
- Ambient Temperature: -40 to 71°C (-40 to 160°F)
- Process Temperature: -20 to 60°C (-7 to 140°F)
- Enclosure Rating: NEMA 4X (IP65) with PC/ABS FR housing
- Deadband: Ranges from 10 cm (4") for LVU809 to 30 cm (12") for LVU832
The series features automatic temperature compensation and a non-volatile memory. The enclosure includes a watertight membrane vent.
Configuration Options
The series offers four primary measurement ranges, each available with specific process connections:
- Lvu809 Series: 10 cm to 3 m (4" to 9.8"); Resolution: 0.5 mm (0.019")
- Lvu816 Series: 20 cm to 5.5 m (8" to 18"); Resolution: 1 mm (0.039")
- Lvu826 Series: 20 cm to 8 m (8" to 26.2"); Resolution: 1 mm (0.039")
- Lvu832 Series: 30 cm to 10 m (12" to 32.8"); Resolution: 2 mm (0.078")
Process connections are configured as follows:
- Lvu809 Models: 1" NPT or 1" G straight threads
- Lvu816, LVU826, and LVU832 Models: 2" NPT or 2" G straight threads
The transmitter provides a two-wire 4 to 20 mA output with configurable signal inversion (4-20 mA / 20-4 mA). Fail-safe options include 4mA, 20 mA, 21 mA, 22 mA, or hold last. Configuration is performed via push button, and a 6-segment LCD display shows air gap or liquid level in inches, cm, feet, m, or percent.
Additional configurable options include an FKM mounting gasket (Part #220128 for LVU809; Part #220129 for other series) and the LVM-30 side mount bracket. Electrical connections utilize dual 1/2" NPT conduit entrances.
Key Product Differences
The primary distinction within the LVU800 Series is the measurement range, which dictates resolution, deadband, and beam width:
- Lvu809: Beam width of 5 cm (2") diameter.
- Lvu816/826/832: Beam width of 7.6 cm (3") diameter.
Model suffixes indicate the process connection type: standard models feature NPT threads, while "-G" suffixed models utilize straight thread connections compatible with metric standards. All variants share the same enclosure rating, housing material, and transducer composition.

Simple, dependable level transmitter
We have been using these Omega Level sensors for more than 10 years now. I like them because they are simple to use and install, work well for our application, they tend to be pretty dependable as well as accurate, to within about 1/4" the best I can tell.
We use them to monitor liquid chlorine bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) in a 1,100 and 2,000 gallon plastic tanks.

V-notch weir measurement
We use this to measure the depth of water for a v-notch weir on a Fluid Metering experiment in Chemical Engineering. The V-notch weir is an ancient way of measuring water and is taught to show the evolution of water measurement. The original one I bought from Omega had a loose wire from 8 years of use and the measurements made no sense. I bought this model again as it works great for our needs.

you · a few seconds ago we want to purchase level transmitter for use on caustic closed tank and HNO3 Closed tanks. please suggest us the model which is compatible to these liquids. range of tanks are upto 5meters.
Thank you for your interest in this product. Please email flow@omega.com and will address it with additional questions required.

the water in the tank we plan on monitoring is 85C. I noticed it lists maximum ambient temperature is 60C. Any thoughts on whether that might be a problem?
Thank you for your inquiry and unfortunately, the electronics will be affected with the higher temperatures mentioned and the sensor will not output any readings.
