WNK8010 ATEX Explosion-Proof IP68 Water Level Transmitter with Multi-Output for Agricultural Irrigation

The WNK8010 ATEX Explosion-Proof Water Level Transmitter is a premium submersible level measurement instrument designed for agricultural irrigation systems, water resource management, and industrial applications in hazardous environments. Featuring ATEX explosion-proof certification, IP68 submersible rating, and triple output signal options (4-20mA, 0-10V, and RS485 Modbus RTU), this transmitter delivers unmatched versatility and reliability for modern smart farming and precision irrigation control systems.

Key Features

• ATEX Explosion-Proof Certified: Certified to ATEX Exia II CT6 standards for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres, including chemical storage, fuel depots, and gas environments.
• Triple Output Options: Supports 4-20mA analog current loop, 0-10V voltage output, and RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication, providing maximum compatibility with PLCs, SCADA systems, IoT gateways, and agricultural automation controllers.
• IP68 Fully Submersible: Sealed stainless steel 316L housing with polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) cable allows continuous underwater operation in wells, reservoirs, irrigation channels, and open water bodies up to 200 meters deep.
• High Precision Sensing: Achieves 0.2%FS and 0.5%FS accuracy levels with excellent long-term stability, ensuring precise water level data for irrigation scheduling and pump control.
• Agricultural Irrigation Optimized: Purpose-built for smart agriculture applications including drip irrigation reservoir monitoring, canal level control, groundwater well depth measurement, and automated pump station management.
• Rugged Construction: 316L stainless steel wetted parts with PVF cable provide superior resistance to corrosion, chemicals, fertilizers, and harsh outdoor environments.

Technical Specifications

Agricultural Irrigation Applications

The WNK8010 ATEX is specifically engineered for the demands of modern agricultural water management, delivering real-time level data that optimizes irrigation efficiency and reduces water waste:

• Drip Irrigation Reservoirs: Continuous water level monitoring to automate pump startup and shutdown, preventing dry run damage and overflow.
• Groundwater Wells: Precise depth-to-water measurement for sustainable aquifer management, pump protection, and regulatory compliance reporting.
• Irrigation Canals and Channels: Flow-level monitoring for open channel irrigation systems, enabling automated gate control and water distribution optimization.
• Water Storage Tanks: Real-time level data transmitted via RS485 to central farm management systems, enabling predictive water usage planning and automated refill scheduling.
• Fertilizer and Nutrient Tanks: Chemical-resistant 316L stainless steel construction allows safe level measurement in liquid fertilizer and nutrient solution storage.
• Flood and Drainage Control: Early warning water level detection in drainage ditches, retention ponds, and flood-prone agricultural zones.

Why Choose the WNK8010 ATEX for Agriculture?

Manufactured by WNK, a proven provider of industrial and agricultural sensor solutions, the WNK8010 ATEX combines precision measurement technology with field-proven durability. The triple output configuration (4-20mA, 0-10V, RS485) ensures seamless integration with virtually any existing irrigation control system, from simple analog PLCs to advanced IoT-based smart farming platforms. The Modbus RTU interface allows direct connection to remote telemetry units (RTUs) and cloud-connected gateways, enabling farmers to monitor water levels from anywhere via smartphone or web dashboard.

Unlike generic level sensors, the WNK8010 ATEX is built to withstand the harsh realities of agricultural environments: temperature extremes, UV exposure, fertilizer chemical exposure, and continuous submersion. The PVF cable jacket resists cracking and degradation far longer than standard PVC or PUR alternatives, while the 316L stainless steel body prevents corrosion even in aggressive well water or nutrient solutions.

Our engineering team provides comprehensive support, including Modbus register mapping, wiring diagrams for all three output types, and remote commissioning assistance. Custom cable lengths, measurement ranges, and output configurations are available for volume orders. OEM and ODM services are also offered.
