The CS456 is a pressure transducer for water-level measurements in canals, wells, ponds, harbors, lakes, streams, and tanks. It has a rugged titanium case that allows it to be used in saltwater and other harsh environments. The CS456 outputs either a digital SDI-12 or RS-232 signal to indicate observed pressure and temperature. This output can be read by many of our data loggers. The CS456 replaces the CS455 transducer. The new transducers have a smaller gap between the water ports and the diaphragm so that less air is trapped that the user must remove during deployment. Trapped air causes the transducer's readings to drift as the air slowly dissolves into the water.
