Sensors
Hall-Effect Sensors + Adapter for Gas Tanks
Non-contact level detection on liquified gas tanks | use in conjunction with RCT Transmitter LEVELview.LPG | replaceable (3-pin screw connection, IP68 connector)
Functionality
The sensor can be connected to a RCT Transmitter LEVELview.LPG by cable with plug. On the LPG tank, simply replace the existing level indicator on the flange of the float with the Hall effect sensor (2 screws). For some float types, an adapter must also be used. On request, original sensors can also be used (e.g. Rochester Magnetel 4″/8″).

Pressure Probes for Oil and Water Tanks
(others on request)
Piezoresistive Keller pressure probes for precise level measurement of oil and water tanks with high standards of accuracy and durability | used in conjunction with RCT Transmitter LEVELview.OIL/AQUA | exchangeable
Functionality
The sensor can be connected to an RCT Transmitter type LEVELview.OIL/AQUA by cable with plug. The pressure probe is inserted through a suitable free tank opening (diameter min. 1″) to the lowest point in the tank and the opening is sealed airtight by means of screw fittings.
For fuels, probes are available on request for use in Ex zone 0.
Features
Application: piezoresistive Keller pressure probe for level measurement at oil and water tanks with high standard of accuracy and durability, no pressure hysteresis
Voltage protection: integrated overvoltage and reverse polarity protection
Protection class: IP68
Housing: compact, robust stainless steel housing, plastic cap protects steel diaphragm
Pressure range: 200 mbar to 10 bar (equivalent to 2m to 100 m water column)
Current output: 4…20 mA (2-wire technology)
Voltage output: 0…10 V, 0.5…4.5 V etc. (not ratiometric)
Connection: 3-pole screw connection, IP68 connector
Types
- Pressure Probe 0.25 bar/5 m: measuring range oil 290 cm/water 250 cm; cable length 5 m; incl. 1″ plug and cable gland
- Pressure Probe 0.5 bar/5 m: measuring range and cable length 5 m; incl. 1″ plug and cable gland
- Others on request, e.g. for fuels in Ex-Zone 0
Combinations
- Transmitter LEVELview.PRO.OIL
- Transmitter LEVELview.PRO.AQUA
- Radio Transmitter LEVELview.BASIC.OIL

Capacitive Sensor for Oil and Water Tanks
Capacitive sensor with flexible flat ribbon cable for measuring liquid levels in different media e.g. water, oil, chemicals | use in conjunction with RCT Transmitter LEVELview.OIL/AQUA | standard cable length 1.80 m for self-assembly | exchangeable
Functionality
The sensor can be connected by cable with plug to an RCT Transmitter type LEVELview.OIL/AQUA. It is inserted into the tank through a suitable free tank opening (diameter min. 1″) so that the weight contacts the bottom. The sensor cable should not be placed directly along metal walls, since metal changes the capacity of the liquid level to be measured. A distance of at least 20 cm should be ensured. The counterweight can be unscrewed to shorten the length of the sensor cable depending on the tank or the desired measuring height. The sensor is calibrated via Web Application or can be preset at the factory to the desired measurement height and medium.
Features
Application: capacitive flex probe for measuring liquid levels in different media (e.g. water, oil, chemicals)
Sensor housing: PP (polypropylene); fully encapsulated; connection thread 1″ for screwing into tank opening
Sensor cable: flexible stay cable (6-core); insulation fluoro-ethylene-propylene; standard length 1.80 m; self-assembling
Counterweight: stainless steel V2A
Output signal: 0-5 V
