for this product

Summary

The AS-LLE liquid level element utilizes single or multiple RTDs mounted in thermowells for direct installation into tanks, reservoirs, sumps and gearboxes on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and marine applications. This sensor is also available as single point and multipoint liquid level and interface elements that connect to FCI or customer provided electronics to indicate presence or absence of liquid level or interface at the sensing point(s).

Please complete and submit the attached Application Data Sheet or contact FCI’s Sales Representative in your area to receive a technical quotation for your Liquid Level and Interface Element application.
