Overview

Fluid Level Sensors

The fluid level sensors detect the tank fluid level and

signals the Fluid Defender to activate the alarm and

deactivate the air control solenoid valve (if configured

on the specific channel).

Control level sensor: A level sensor connected as a

control level sensor to the Fluid Defender that controls

the output of an air control solenoid valve. Either a high

level or low level sensor may be connected as a control

level sensor

Monitor level sensor: A level sensor connected to the

Fluid Defender as a monitor level sensor that monitors a

tank fluid level. Either a high level or a low level sensor

may be connected as a monitor level sensor.

NOTE: Level sensors are preconfigured at the factory.

Do not attempt to reconfigure a level sensor by

changing the float orientation. High level sensors are

unable to be configured into low level sensors, and low

level sensors are unable to be configured into high level

sensors.

High Level Sensors

A sensor that is used to detect a full tank. The float is in

the down position and the sensor contacts are closed

during normal operation (FIG. 4, illustration a).

The float moves to the up position and the sensor

contacts are open during a high level condition,

triggering the Fluid Defender alarm (FIG. 4,

illustration b).

Low Level Sensors

A sensor that is used to detect an empty tank. The float

is in the up position and the sensor contacts are closed

during normal operation (FIG. 4, illustration c).

The float moves to the down position and the sensor

contacts are open during a low level condition,

triggering the Fluid Defender alarm (FIG. 4,

illustration d).

NOTE: For clarity, FIG. 4 does not show the splash

guard.

Installation

Installation of Level Sensors

NOTE: Install level sensors in stationary tanks. The

sensors are not designed to monitor mobile tanks.

1. Apply thread sealant to the threads of a 2 npt bung

adapter to seal the tank.

2. Install level sensors away from inlet ports or pumps

to minimize inaccurate readings.

3. Ensure that the sensor body is free hanging from

the bung adapter housing.

NOTE: Level sensors are for vertical mounting only.

4. Set level sensor height by loosening the cord grip

on the bung adapter housing and adjust the length

of the suspended wire to set the desired activation

height.

NOTE: For guidance on calculation of installation height

of overfill devices, refer to Petroleum Equipment

Institute (PEI) RP600 Recommended Practices for

Overfill Prevention for Shop-Fabricated Above Ground

Tanks, Appendix A (www.pei.org).

a. The activation height is indicated on the splash

guard of the sensor.

b. High level sensors monitor the high tank fluid

level to prevent overfill.

NOTE: The level sensor height should be set to

activate following all local codes and regulations.

c. Low level sensors monitor the low tank fluid

level to prevent pump runaway conditions.

NOTE: The level sensor height should be set at

least 2 in. - 3 in. above the pump inlet.

d. Tighten the cord grip on the cable to finger

tight, plus one-half of a turn.

NOTE: Failure to properly tighten the cord grip may

cause the level sensor to move from the fixed

position.

5. Connect the level sensor wires following the

instructions in Fluid Defender manual, see Related

Manuals, page 1.

NOTE: Attach all accessory wires to the Fluid

Defender control box following all local codes and

regulations.

Reference the Technical Specifications, page 12,

for information on maximum wire runs and shielded

cable requirements.

All accessory circuits are low voltage (less than 48

VDC).

Operation

8 3A7279B

Operation

High Level Sensors

When the tank level is not at full, the float is in the down

position, normal condition, the contact is closed: no

alarm (FIG. 5, illustration a).

As the tank level rises and reaches the level sensor, the

float moves to the up position and opens the contacts

(FIG. 5, illustration b).

Low Level Sensors

When the tank is not empty, the float is in the up

position, normal condition, the contact is closed: no

alarm (FIG. 5, illustration c).

As the tank level falls and reaches the level sensor, the

float moves to the down position and opens the

contacts (FIG. 5, illustration d).

NOTE: For clarity, FIG. 5 does not show the splash

guard.
