Submersible diesel level pressure sensor for installing in the bottom of tanks up to 2 metres deep. This sensor has a FEP coated cable and an ATEX approved 4 to 20 milliamp output for use in fuel storage applications. Monitor fuel levels in generators, backup power systems, and other critical applications with the LMP307 submersible transmitter.
The LMP307 submersible level sensor is a critical component in maintaining the operational efficiency of commercial and industrial facilities that rely on diesel-powered equipment and backup power systems. This sensor provides accurate and reliable level measurement in static diesel storage tanks, ensuring a continuous fuel supply for a range of applications.
In industrial settings, these tanks often feed generators that provide backup power in case of grid outages, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical systems. For example, hospitals, data centers, and manufacturing plants rely on these generators to maintain essential services. The LMP307 plays a vital role in preventing fuel shortages that could lead to costly downtime. In commercial buildings, diesel generators are often used for emergency power, fire pumps, and other essential services. Accurate fuel level monitoring is crucial for ensuring the reliability of these systems, especially during emergencies.
The installation of the LMP307 can vary depending on the specific tank configuration. In most cases, the sensor is installed through a threaded access point on top of the tank, with the sensor probe extending down to the bottom. This method is often used in tanks with limited access or those that cannot be emptied for installation.
The FEP coated cable of the LMP307 is particularly well-suited for use in diesel fuel, as it resists the fuel’s chemical properties and prevents degradation over time. This is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and longevity of the sensor, especially in applications where the sensor is permanently submerged. The 4-20mA output signal allows for easy integration with existing control systems, providing real-time fuel level data that can be used to optimize fuel deliveries, prevent runouts, and schedule maintenance.
If required the ATEX approval of the LMP307, ensures its safe operation in hazardous areas where flammable vapors may be present, if installed along with an appropriate IS zone barrier. This is essential for compliance with safety regulations in industrial and commercial fuel storage installations.
