T/LL140 series fuel level sensor

T/LL140 series fuel level sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The T/LL140 series is a sophisticated range of fuel level sensors designed for accurate measurement of fuel tank contents. Key features include auto-recalibration at full fuel levels and compensation for changes in fuel dielectric constants due to different fuels or additives. The sensor can accommodate fuel feed and return pipes and is customizable in length to fit various tank depths.
Specifications:
  • Dimensions: Probe length ranges from 200mm to 1000mm (8” to 40”).
  • Electrical: Nominal supply voltage is 12V or 24V DC with a supply current of 8mA. System frequency is 8kHz.
  • Accuracy: ±2.0% of immersion depth at 20ºC.
  • Outputs: Options include resistive (10-180Ω, 240-33Ω, or 3-180Ω), voltage (0-5V, 5-0V, or any range in between), and PWM. Alarm switches to ground at 1/8 tank depth, adjustable between empty and full.
  • Construction: Housing made of 30% glass-filled Nylon 6, with internal sensors coated in epoxy resin and FR4 fiberglass. Wetted seals are EFTP, and the sensor tube is stainless steel 316.
  • Fluid Compatibility: Suitable for fuels compatible with construction materials.
  • Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature from -40ºC to +85ºC, storage from -40ºC to +105ºC. Sealing is IP67, shock resistance is 50g 6.3mS, and vibration complies with BS EN 60068-2-64:1993.
  • Weight: 300g for a 1M long unit.
Model Variants:
  • T/LL140: Resistive output.
  • T/LL141: Voltage output.
  • T/LL142: PWM output.
Additional Information: The sensor includes 500mm long flying leads, which can be fitted with specified receptacles. The product is manufactured by Contec GmbH, with contact details provided for further inquiries.

T/LL140 series fuel level sensor-1

T/LL140 series fuel level sensor The Model T/LL140 series is a range of highly advanced sensors for measuring the contents of a fuel tank. Their main feature is that they auto-recalibrate when the fuel is at the full level and the sensor’s electronics negate the effects of changes in the fuel’s dielectric constant caused by the use of different fuels or percentage of additives being used. Additionally, the probe has the facility to fit fuel feed and return pipes (max 10mm) within the standard SAE 5 holes flange interface. Another useful facility is that the user can cut the sensor probe to length to suit the tank depth. A low level alarm switches when the fuel drops below a predetermined level (default is 1/8th of the tank), but the alarm point can be optionally specified anywhere between 0-100%. Specification Dimensions: Probe length: Min 200mm, Max 1000mm (Min 8”, Max 40”) Electrical: Supply voltage: System frequency: Accuracy: 12 or 24Vdc nominal 8kHz ±2.0% of immersion depth @ 20ºC Outputs: Resistive: Voltage: PWM: Alarm: Warning Output Load: One from: 10-180Ω, 240-33Ω or 3-180Ω (Emulated resistive output) Selectable: 0-5V, 5-0V or any voltage range in between these limits (ascending or descending) As specified. (Max vout load 15mA) Switch to ground at 1/8 tank depth - max load 100mA. Optionally adjustable between empty and full. 100mA max. Construction: Housing: Sensor tube: Internal insulators: 30% glass filled Nylon 6 Stainless steel 316 PTFE Supply current: Connections: 8mA@12Vdc + output load 500mm long flying leads which can be optionally fitted with any specified receptacle Internal sensor: Wetted seals: Epoxy resin coated FR4 fibre glass PTFE Sealing: Shock: Weight: EMC: IP67 50g 6.3mS 300g (1M long unit) Type approval in accordance with EN ISO 13766:2006 Fluid Types: Fuels compatible with materials of construction Environmental Ratings: Temperature - operating: - storage: Max tank pressure: Vibration: Errors and omissions excepted.
