Level sensors are electronic devices that detect and monitor the level of fluids (or solids) in a container. In the genset industry, they are often used for monitoring fuel, oil, and coolant levels.

Description: Uses a buoyant float that moves with the fluid level. When the float reaches a certain position, it activates a switch or sends a signal to a control system.
Applications: Commonly used for fuel and oil level monitoring.

Automation: Enables automated monitoring and control of fluid levels, reducing the risk of human error.
Precision: Provides accurate and real-time data for better decision-making.
Integration: Can be easily integrated with generator control systems for alarms and notifications.

 

Mechanical gauges are traditional devices that use physical mechanisms to indicate the level of fuel or water in tank. They often feature a dial and a pointer that move in response to changes in fluid levels.
Description: Combines a float mechanism with a dial indicator. The float rises and falls with the fluid level, moving the dial pointer accordingly.
Applications: Commonly used for oil pressure and coolant level monitoring.
