Description

LSM500-CONTOUR

Designed with a custom contour shape for easy installation within defence ground vehicles that have non-linear tanks, the LSM500-IP69K is a highly accurate liquid level sensor engineered specifically for fuel, oil, water or coolant measurement within military applications. Featuring stainless steel construction and with an ingress protection rating of IP69K, the LSM500-CONTOUR is built for durability in high shock and vibration environments.

Reventec’s solid-state sensors provide powerful vehicle health monitoring and analysis of critical components to offer predictive vehicle maintenance, reduce vehicle downtime and prevent unexpected breakdowns in combat zones. Delivering continuous, real-time readings for ultimate vehicle deployability and operational readiness, the LSM500-CONTOUR features an SAE 5-bolt mounting pattern for secure fitment to the exterior of liquid tanks. The liquid level sensors are manufactured to length for easy installation and are available in custom sizes up to 700mm long.

Boasting advanced accuracies of up to ±0.5%, the LSM500-CONTOUR offers analog 0-5V, CAN or both outputs directly from the coolant level sensor as integrated electronics within the sensor head, allowing for extremely accurate readings without the need for external CPU processing. Both the probe and electronics have a high operating temperature of -40°C to +125°C, with -55°C to +150°C temperature variants available. Certification to MIL STD 461G and RCTA DO160F available.
