SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These series of Liquid Level Detection systems are ideal, low cost ultrasonic liq-
uid level detection systems for many applications. They operate in a broad spec-
trum of viscous to light liquids.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
2
The LL-10 Series operates using ultrasonic sound wave propagation. Ultrasonic
sound waves are greatly attenuated when transmitted through air. Conversely,
when liquid is present, transmission of the sound waves is greatly enhanced. The
electronic control unit generates electrical signals that are converted to bursts of
ultrasonic energy at the sensor. The ultrasonic bursts are transmitted across the liq-
uid sensing gap. Upon receipt of a valid signal, the solid state electronics gener-
ate a “data enable” condition indicating liquid is present. This signal energizes a
relay and/or provides an output condition.
NOTES:
1. Standard Sensor Material: 316 Stainless Steel. Solid one piece molded body
Tefzel is also available.
2. 3/4” NPT mounting is standard, different NPT and flanges are optional.
3. Standard length of the sensor is 2.50” with activation point 1/4” from the bot-
tom of the sensor. Extension up to 100” is available.

INSTALLATION

FINAL INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions below:
1. Drill a suitable hole in the vessel or pipe wall and tap for 3/4” NPT. If this
walled vessel or material is not suitable for threading, weld or braze a bushing
to accept the sensor.
2. Screw the sensor in the threaded section and make sure that there is a good
seal. Use a pipe compound or sealing tape to avoid excessive tightening.
Do not over tighten.
3. Run the power and control wiring cable to the electronic control unit.
Observe all applicable electrical codes and proper wiring procedures.
MAINTENANCE
Electronics are constructed with solid state components and epoxy potted.
Periodically, check and clean the sensor when used with liquids which cause a
coating build up on the sensor. No other maintenance is required.
CLEANING
If the pipe or vessel to which the sensor is mounted is to be steam cleaned or
cleaned with abrasive detergents, remove the entire unit before cleaning by:
1. Disconnecting the power at source;
2. Opening the housing cover;
3. Removing power and control wiring cables;
4. Unthreading the sensor.
To reinstall, follow Installation Procedures
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Should the system malfunction, notify Omega immediately.
