  • Overview

  • Literature

The LC40 can be used as an easy-to-read, real-time visual indicator showing the height of the liquid in a vessel or tank.

The LC40 senses the head pressure of the liquid in the vessel by means of a diaphragm. The pressure is then translated to height by means of the linkages in the unit. The fluid height is indicated by the position of the pointer on the height scale. As the pointer moves across the scale with rising liquid height, it triggers the switch.
