The AKCP Fuel Level Sensor is a float-type liquid level sensor that is used to measure the fuel level in a storage tank.
In addition to measuring fuel / oil, this sensor can be used to measure water too. This sensor can be connected to any one of the security-Probe5E’s RJ-45 Intelligent Sensor ports enabling the system to continuously monitor the amount of fuel remaining in your storage tank. By setting the proper alerts in the software, it can be configured to detect fuel leaks or fuel theft.
This sensor is ideal for remote sites that depend on generator power. The low level alerts in the web interface can be customized to your requirements. For example, it can be configured to send normal notifications when the fuel level reaches 3/4 and 1/2 tank, and send critical alerts when fuel level drops down to 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank.
This sensor can be used to detect fuel theft or leakage by detecting a drop in fuel level while the engine is off or if the fuel level drops too quickly when the engine’s running. Unlike other fuel level sensors, this unit is extremely robust and easy to configure ensuring accurate fuel readings all the time regardless of environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
This sensor has an easy 2-step calibration process that allows the user to set the minimum and maximum float positions corresponding to an empty or full tank. Furthermore, this step can be performed on the sensor prior to mounting it in the tank which is much more convenient than others that require filling and emptying of the tank with water that could harm your engine if not drained and dried properly.
The sensor comes with a 40 ft (~ 10.2 meters) weather-proof cable that connects to the float sensor. Custom lengths of up to 2300 ft (700 meters) are available upon request.
Each fuel level sensor comes complete with a 5 foot sensor cable that connects the common box to the securityProbes RJ-45 sensor ports, or you can use your own CAT5/6 LAN cable. This cable can be extended up to 100 feet (~ 30 meters).
