FAQs

A liquid level controller is an electronic device that automatically monitors and controls the level of a liquid in a tank or reservoir. It uses sensors to detect when the liquid reaches a specific point and then activates or deactivates a pump, valve or alarm.

These controllers are versatile and can work with two main types of liquids:

Conductive Liquids: Such as water, potable water and water with impurities. They use electrode-based sensing.

Non-Conductive Liquids: Such as diesel, oil, and other hydrocarbons. They use optical sensing technology.

For water, the controller sends a low-voltage signal through one or more metal electrodes (probes) immersed in the tank. When the water level rises or falls to touch a probe, it completes the electrical circuit. The controller detects this change in conductivity and triggers its output relay to switch.
Since diesel and oil do not conduct electricity, optical sensors are used. A sensor uses an infrared LED and a phototransistor. The presence or absence of liquid changes the way the light is refracted within the sensor’s prism, which is detected by the controller to determine the liquid level.

One-Level Monitoring: Typically used for an alarm function (e.g., high-level alarm only) or a simple single-point control.

Two-Level Monitoring: Used for automatic pump control. One sensor is set for a low level (e.g., start pump to fill tank) and a second sensor is set for a high level (e.g., stop pump to prevent overfill).

A key feature is that for water level monitoring, there are no restrictions on the cable size or length between the controller and the electrode probes. This allows for flexible installation in deep or remote tanks.
This is a type of electronic output that allows the controller to interface with other devices, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or alarm modules, by acting as a flexible switch that can handle different voltage levels.

When selecting a controller, you need to define:

The Liquid Type: Is it conductive (water) or non-conductive (diesel/oil)? Specify any impurities.

The Control Function: Do you need one level (alarm) or two levels (automatic fill/empty control)?

The Power Supply: What is the available voltage (e.g., 24V DC, 110V AC, 230V AC)?

The Number of Tanks: Do you need to monitor levels in one tank or two separate tanks?
