FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

SAI ANJANEYA

INTRODUCTION:• FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS DESIGNED FOR PRECISION FUEL LEVEL

MEASUREMENT IN ALL KINDS OF VEHICLE TANKS, ALSO IN TANKS OF FIXED INSTALLATIONS.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR

• SENSOR : DUT-E• MANUFACTURE : TECHNOTON• COST :

ABOUT DUT-E :

DUET-E IS A SMART AND STANDARD SENSORS FOR FUEL TELEMATICS.

DUT-E SENSORS ARE USED FOR ACCURATE LEVEL MEASUREMENT .

FUEL TANKS OF VEHICLES.

TRUCKS,TRACTORS.

ROAD-BUILDING MACHINERY, 

FIXED INSTALLATIONS AND STATIONARY TANKS.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:• DUT-E OPERATION PRINCIPLE IS BASED ON CONDENSER CAPACITANCE

MEASUREMENT, WHERE MEASURING PROBE PIPES ARE USED AS CAPACITOR PLATES.

• ELECTRIC CAPACITANCE CHANGES DEPENDING ON MEASURING PROBE IMMERSION DEPTH IN THE FUEL WHICH IS DIELECTRIC LIQUID.

• THE SENSOR ANALYSIS THE CURRENT VALUE OF ELECTRIC CAPACITANCE AND THEN GENERATES AN APPROPRIATE OUTPUT SIGNAL.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

MOUNTING OF DUT-E:

• DUT-E HAS 5 BOLTED FLANGE AND IS MOUNTED INSTEAD OF STANDARD FUEL LEVEL SENSOR OR INTO A SPECIAL HOLE IN VEHICLE FUEL TANK.

• IT IS RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL DUT-E IN THE GEOMETRICAL CENTER OF A TANK.

USEFUL INFORMATION:

•   FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DUT-E PASSES THE INFORMATION ON RAISING OR LOWERING FUEL LEVEL OR VOLUME IN TANK TO TRACKING DEVICE.

• VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM WITH THE HELP OF GPS DETERMINES THE LOCATION AND TIME. THE USER OF A SYSTEM RECEIVES INFORMATION ABOUT CHANGES IN FUEL LEVEL IN THE FORM OF PARAMETERS OR DIAGRAMS.

• REFUELING OR FUEL THEFT DATA MAY BE PRESENTED IN VISUAL FORM.

ADVANTAGES:•Electrical non interaction with tank body.•Allows cutting “at place” up to 30% of its initial length without recalibration;•Strong cast metal body;•Protection of sensor output from short circuit;•Protection from voltage overload (up to 50 V);•Sensors are delivered calibrated, i.e. sensors are interchangeable and there is no necessity to make tank normalization when you replace DUT-E sensor;•Stable and more exact output signal;•New bayonet lock and small overall dimensions of the outside sensor part;•Possibility of sealing
