Fuel Level Sensor BITREK FLSENSOR

The BI FLSENSOR is a high-precision capacitive fuel level sensor designed for continuous and reliable monitoring of fuel in stationary tanks and vehicle fuel tanks. This professional tool is ideally suited for GPS fuel control systems and telematics, providing accurate data for efficient fleet management and theft prevention.

The operating principle of the BI FLSENSOR is based on the change in capacitor capacitance. The sensor's measuring probe, immersed in fuel, detects changes in liquid composition and level. Thanks to this technology, the sensor ensures high measurement accuracy with an error of just 1%, which is critical for detailed fuel consumption monitoring and refueling planning. It is ideal for agricultural machinery, heavy-duty vehicles, construction equipment, and diesel generators, where precise fuel control helps reduce operational costs.

The sensor is equipped with several important features for ease of use and reliability. Built-in galvanic isolation protects the system from interference and damage, ensuring stable operation. The removable sensor head and the ability to trim the measuring probe by up to 150 mm allow it to be adapted to various tank types and capacities, while a maximum probe length of 3000 mm ensures versatility. The RS-485 interface guarantees easy integration with most modern GPS trackers. User-friendly software for setup, calibration, and tarring makes the installation and operation of the BI FLSENSOR simple and intuitive, allowing quick adaptation of the sensor to specific needs.

The sensor body is made of high-strength glass-filled polyamide (PA6) and has an IP67 protection rating, guaranteeing its resistance to dust, moisture, and extreme operating conditions. The sensor operates stably in a wide temperature range from -40° to +80° C and can withstand voltage spikes up to 200V DC and up to 1 kV in pulse. An integrated temperature sensor provides additional data, and reverse polarity protection extends the device's lifespan. The standard probe length is 750 mm, and the cable length is 7000 mm, providing mounting flexibility. Buying the BI FLSENSOR capacitive fuel level sensor means choosing a reliable solution for accurate fuel control and monitoring.

🎁 Expert Advice For the most accurate readings from your BI FLSENSOR, always perform a full tank calibration after installation. This will account for the unique geometry of your fuel tank and ensure the highest precision in fuel level and consumption measurements.

💡 FAQ What is a capacitive fuel level sensor? It's a device that measures the level of liquid (fuel) in a tank by utilizing the principle of changing electrical capacitance between its electrodes. The higher the fuel level, the greater the capacitance, allowing for precise determination of fuel volume.

❓ Why is built-in galvanic isolation necessary?
Galvanic isolation provides electrical separation between the sensor circuits and the rest of the system. This protects the sensor and connected equipment from voltage fluctuations, short circuits, and electromagnetic interference, enhancing the reliability and safety of the entire monitoring system.

❓ Can the BI FLSENSOR be shortened?
Yes, the probe of the BI FLSENSOR can be trimmed (shortened) by up to 150 mm, allowing it to be adapted for shallower tanks. This makes it a versatile solution for various vehicles and stationary containers.

❓ What GPS trackers is it compatible with?
The BI FLSENSOR features an RS-485 interface, which is standard for many GPS trackers and telematics systems. It is compatible with most devices that support this interface for collecting data from external sensors.

❓ What is the measurement accuracy of the BI FLSENSOR?
The BI FLSENSOR provides high measurement accuracy with an error of just 1%, which is an excellent indicator for professional fuel level control and consumption analysis.
