Description
Gill 1804 Series Catch tank level sensor was originally designed for the ACO Le Mans Racing Series, the oil catch tank sensor is based upon Gill’s proven capacitive level sensor technology.
- Suitable for endurance racing
- Compact and lightweight
- Simple to install
Because of the length of an endurance race, the ACO had to be confident that the sensor would remain accurate, reliable and repeatable over the course of the race and provide a continuous analogue output relative to the level of oil within the catch tank. This is important as the sensor was introduced to prevent overfilling which leads to spillage and unsafe racing.
Weighing just 90 grams with two 3mm diameter mounting holes for simple installation, the sensor built on the success of the pit-tank level sensors installed in refuelling rigs for the Le Mans 24 Hours race.
Gill is a world leader in capacitive, solid-state liquid level sensing technology. With no moving parts to break or wear out, our liquid level sensors offer unmatched long term reliability in a variety of harsh environments.
On-board processing electronics are located within the mounting flange and each sensor offers a fully configurable 0-5V analogue output, compatible with most industry standard systems. All Gill capacitive level sensors are suitable with most fluids including fuel, oil, water, coolant, bio-fuel and other liquid types.
Compact, lightweight and robust, our liquid level sensors are used in an extremely wide range of applications including premier motorsport series, defence & unmanned vehicles, marine vessels, mining and industrial machinery.
With a range of standard capacitive liquid level sensor designs and the ability to produce bespoke sensors in low and high volumes, we can offer reliable level sensing solutions to suit your application requirements.
