Alumunium Liquid Level Sensor
The 1612 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor features fully integrated electronics and has no moving parts to provide excellent long-term reliability. The sensor is manufactured to your length requirements and is suitable for operating temperatures up to +125°C.
Combined with a configurable 0-5V analogue output and SAE 5-bolt mounting flange, the 1612 sensor is compatible with a broad range of liquids, designed to meet the needs of motorsport engineers in a dependable and high performance package.
The sensor is manufactured to your custom length requirement up to 1.5 meters.
All of the sensor’s processing electronics are located within the sensor head – no additional remotely-mounted electronics are required. With a robust anodised aluminium main body construction and titanium inner-rod assembly, the sensor is well suited to harsh environment applications and has a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.
The sensor is available from 80mm to 1500mm long and, with each sensor factory-built to the required length and calibrated in the appropriate liquid type, no mechanical adjustment or configuration by the user is required prior to installation. Longer length sensors, which feature extra mechanical strengthening features, are available for deeper tanks up to 1.5m, and a stainless-steel variant is also available for water-based applications.
