Flexible measurement of fuel levels - Adjustable Fuel Lever Arm Sender
  | |
To ensure the safe operation of vehicles and machinery it is important to be reliably informed about the current fuel level at all times. Lever-type senders measure the level in the tank and send the information to the corresponding display instrument. An additional reserve function can be set to provide a warning when the fuel level is too low.
Our new, specially developed lever-type fuel senders now offer our customers a robust and particularly flexible way of ensuring reliable fuel measurement for various tank depths.
Two versions of the adjustable fuel lever arm sender are available – with and without warning contact. The version with integrated warning contact can be hooked up to an external reserve display that indicates when a defined minimum level has been reached, for example. The lever arm is flexibly supported to compensate for non-level conditions and movement. It has been successfully deployed in the marine sector for many years.
Versatile deployment scenarios
- Small engines and construction machinery (mini-excavators, dumpers, compressors, etc.)
- Agricultural machinery
- Marine applications (sports and leisure boats, jet skis, etc.)
- Two-wheeled machines (motorcycles, scooters, etc.)
- Micro cars, quad bikes
- Stationary machines (generators, compressors, etc.)
