Fuel Measuring Probe with Float 0–190 Ω Length 525 mm 21" Resistive Sensor IP67 for Monitoring Fuel, Oil and Liquids in Tanks
This fuel level sensor is used to measure the amount of liquid in a tank using a float mechanism. The sensor's design converts the float's movement into an electrical signal in the range of 0–190 Ω, which is commonly used in fuel level indicators in various types of transport and technical equipment.
The sensor's measuring rod has a length of 525 mm (21"), making it suitable for tanks with a recommended height of approximately 535 to 550 mm. This type of sensor can be used, for example, in marine systems, commercial vehicles, or other tanks intended for fuel, oil, or other liquids.
The sensor operates at a power supply of 9–32 V DC and the maximum operating current reaches ≤60 mA. Due to these parameters, the device can be connected to standard electrical systems of vehicles or technical equipment.
The design is intended for reliable operation in various conditions. The operating temperature range is -30 to +75 °C and the storage temperature can be from -40 to +85 °C. The sensor also has an IP67 protection rating, which ensures protection against dust and temporary immersion in water.
Installation is carried out using a flange with five mounting holes. The package includes a gasket with a thickness of 2 mm and five M5 mounting screws, which allow for secure attachment of the sensor to the tank. The design allows for installation in various types of tanks intended for fuel or other liquids.
With a measurement resolution of 21 mm, it is possible to monitor changes in the liquid level in the tank and obtain an approximate indication of the amount of fuel or other liquid inside the tank.
