Summary

FCI provides single point liquid level switches that include a thermowell mounted sensing element and integral or remote electronics that provide indication of presence or absence of liquid or interface at the sensing location. The liquid level element is directly installed into tanks, reservoirs, sumps and gearboxes on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and marine applications.

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


Applications

 
  Remote oil level sensor (ROLS)   Fuel level detection
  Automation of sight gauge level detection   Collection sumps
