Open the catalog to page 2GENERAL INTRODUCTION LIGO Fuel level sensor is produced and developed by SOJI Electronics Limited Company. The device is designed to measure the level of liquid fuel and other non-conductive liquids in vehicle’s tanks and stationary fuel storage, applicable in different fields. The measured values will be transmitted to an external device as an output signal such as: Analog, Frequency, RS232, RS485… in order to connect to an external device. Under particular conditions, the device can reach a high accuracy up to 99.5%. At present, on the market there are several lines of sensor used to measure...

Open the catalog to page 11WIRE COLOUR Figure 8. Wiring diagram of Analog and Frequency output signals. LIGO fuel sensor is protected against reverse-polarity and overvoltage. This feature helps to protect circuit boards against incorrect connections and it can withstand a continuous overvoltage condition (up to 50V in LIGO-SP product and 100V in LIGO-SP-PRO product) and shortcircuit. Please avoid connecting sensor to a power supply which is unstable, usually fluctuates, or has a voltage higher than the recommended voltage range above. Using a fuse coupled with one pole (-) or (+) is recommended for over-voltage protection...
