Tsurumi - Electrode Sensor Replacement for KTVE Series Drainage Pumps

The Tsurumi - Electrode Sensor Replacement (SKU 090-126-15) is a specialised component designed for the KTVE series of automatic submersible drainage pumps manufactured by Tsurumi. This electrode extension allows users to adjust the starting water level of their KTVE series pumps, enhancing their functionality and adaptability to various pumping scenarios.

TheKTVEpumps offer an automatic option to theKTVseries, without the need for external control panels and cumbersome float switches. A sensor probe is mounted in a durable, moulded rubber bracket and, for added protection, it is positioned within the footprint of the Pump - 090-126-15 base. Once the water level reaches the probe, the pump will start and continue to operate for one minute after the water falls below it. However, if the water level touches the probe within this time, the "stop" signal is cancelled and the pump continues to run until the water is cleared. To enable a lower "on level" (by a further 90mm), the sensor probe can be lengthened by fitting the electrode extender, which is an optional extra.

Special use option: IDS (individually screened cable) on 3.7KW and 5.5KW models. (Please request a quotation)

• Item Code: 090-126-15
• Dimensions: 1.0 mm diameter x 10.70 mm diameter x 100 mm length
• Quantity: 1 piece per set
• Compatibility: KTVE and KTZE series pumps

Additional Notes:

• The extension can be cut to adjust the starting water level further, though cut portions cannot be reattached
• Only one extension should be connected to each electrode

This electrode sensor replacement works in conjunction with the pump's built-in level relay unit. When water reaches the extended electrode, it triggers the pump to start. The pump continues to operate for approximately one minute after the water level drops below the electrode. If water contacts the electrode again within this minute, the pump continues running until the water is cleared.
