Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor

Product catalog summary
Product Description: The LevelLite Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor is designed for demanding environments such as motorsport, industrial, and defense applications. It uses solid-state capacitive technology for accurate and reliable liquid level detection without moving parts. The sensor is compatible with various liquids and offers multiple mounting options. Calibration involves setting maximum and minimum levels, but it is not ATEX certified.
Getting Started: The sensor provides a primary analogue output range of 0.25 V to 4.75 V, configurable up to 10 V, and requires a power supply greater than the maximum output voltage. The secondary output is customizable, with options for switch and temperature outputs.
Configuration: Configuration is performed using GSlevel software, which requires a Windows 7 or later system. The software allows for tank profiling to accommodate irregular tank shapes.
Installation: The sensor should be installed on a flat surface at the deepest part of the tank, using various adaptors. It requires sufficient clearance for installation and should not be cut, bent, or have the flange and cable immersed in liquid.
Specifications: The sensor is IP68 rated, tested for shock and vibration, and compatible with various fuels, oils, and coolants. It offers different mounting and sealing options, with a probe length of 100 to 750 mm. Electrical specifications include a supply voltage of +5 to +32 VDC and a current of less than 20 mA. The sensor has a resolution of 10 bits and a sample rate of 100 Hz. Cable options include side and top exits, with secondary outputs for temperature or switch.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to prevent sediment build-up, which can block bleed holes. The sensor has no user-serviceable parts, and configuration is done using GSlevel software. For issues, contact Gill Sensors & Controls Ltd. Product returns require prior authorization and an RMA number.
EU Declaration of Conformity: The document includes an EU Declaration of Conformity, stating compliance with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU + (EU)2015/863. Relevant standards include EN 60945:2002 and EN 61326-1:2013.
Important Notices: Gill Sensors & Controls Limited disclaims responsibility for improper installation or use not in accordance with the manual. Users should ensure the manual is appropriate for their equipment and contact Gill Sensors for advice if needed. The company reserves the right to change specifications without notice and retains ownership of the manual's content.
After Sales Support: For after-sales support, users can visit the Gill website or call during UK office hours. It is recommended to have product and serial number details available when seeking support.

Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor-5

Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Before installation, ensure you have sufficient clearance above the tank in to order to mount the sensor. The sensor is rigid, therefore the clearance height must be, at a minimum, the designated length of the sensor plus 20mm for side exit cable sensors and plus 60mm for top exit cable sensors. Sideways clearance may also be required, and should be accounted for. 4. Installation Do not remove the packaging until you are ready to install the sensor. Prior to installation, please check the sensor for any signs of transit damage. Contact...

Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Prior to installation of the sensor in the tank a fluorosilicone O-ring seal and/or fluorosilicone panel gasket must be fitted to ensure the tank is sealed. All sensors must be fitted with the 19 x 1.5 mm fluorosilicone O-ring seal as shown in the diagram below. For top exit cable sensors any orientation may be used. For side exit cable sensors using the 5 hole adaptor, the orientation shown in the diagram below must be used. Align the adaptor and sensor such that the three smaller adaptor fitting holes align with their holes in...
