⻬ Long Service Life
The compact LV140 single-float,
liquid-level sensor is ideal for use in
steel double-wall tanks or containment
sump areas. It requires no calibration,
and is easy to install and maintain.
When positioned vertically at the
bottom of a steel tank’s stand pipe
or in a sump, it detects liquids such
as hydrocarbons and water, as low
as 3⁄4" from the bottom of a tank or
sump. The epoxy-encapsulated design
is ideal for harsh environments. An
integral slosh shield guards the float
from debris.
The principle behind the LV140 is
straightforward. The float is
equipped with powerful, permanent
magnets. As the float rises or lowers
with liquid level, it actuates a
magnetic reed switch mounted
within the stem. In response, the
electrical circuit opens or closes,
activating an external alarm or
control circuit. When mounted
vertically, the LV140 provides a
consistent accuracy of ±1⁄8".
The reed switch ensures long,
trouble-free service. Hermetically
sealed, these switches allow for
repeatability, with actuation points
that remain constant over the life of
the unit.
Note: The LV140 sensor is a non-voltageproducing device and does not contain
energy-storing components. However, since
primary use is in hazardous locations, an
appropriate intrinsically safe (IS) interface
device is required for its use.
