New InteliSensor® Liquid Measuring System

Fully electronic fuel sensors with no moving parts


The New IntelliSensor® is a completely redesigned, fully electronic, extremely robust, compact fuel sensor derived from our original patented IntelliSensor® to deliver best-in-class performance for heavy-duty, on- and off-road, industrial, specialty vehicle, marine and automotive-related fuellevel sensing applications. It is a form-fit-function replacement for ANY 240-33.5 Ohm fuel sender, whether a float-arm, reed-switch or other variable capacitance type, using an SAE 5-hole flange. It will function in ANY hydrocarbon-based liquid-medium regardless of the shape of the tank and it can be programmed for volumetric measurement as well. The unit is also totally protected from corrosion

Features

  • Sealed SMT electronics with advanced microcontroller
  • Self-calibrating function - one PCB supports all applications
  • Volumetric measurement for use in nonstandard-shaped tanks
  • Can be configured to work in data-bus environment
  • EMC compliant at typical OEM levels
  • No moving parts-proven variable capacitance technology
  • New compact design: robust extruded aluminum tube and reduced mass
  • Ideal for high-slosh environment, "ruggedized" for on-/off-road
  • Protected from corrosion - ideal for use in PLASTIC fuel tanks
  • Reinforced, engineered-resin flange, sealed to 6 psi
  • 61 standard lengths: 6-inches to 36 inches (in 1/2 inch increments)
  • Form-fit-function replacement for ANY fuel sender/sensor
  • Easy installation, SAE 5-hole flange, 5 screws
  • Works in ANY hydrocarbon-based medium (even hydraulic fluid)
  • Stud or optional flying-lead connector (both isolated ground)
  • Protected from reverse polarity and over-voltage (ensures safe installation)
  • More accurate than conventional fuel senders/sensors
  • Wide operating temperature range

Application

The New Intellisensor® has been engineered and "ruggedized" especially for the following markets:

  • Off-Highway: Agricultural (tractors),
  • Construction, Mining and Forestry Equipment
  • On-Highway: Truck and Bus
  • Industrial/Specialty Vehicle/Marine
  • Tank Manufacturers/Tank Farms/Holding Tanks
  • Automotive Aftermarket/High Performance Vehicles

The unit is ideal for the following applications:

  • Sustained heavy duty use and continuous vibration
  • Vehicles/machines subjected to significant shock and random vibration
  • Vehicles/machines operating on steep slopes causing heavy slosh in tank
  • Vehicles/machines with fuel tanks in inaccessible areas, where replacement is either not an option or very costly
  • Use in plastic fuel tanks prone to corrosive outgassing
  • Any vehicle/machine where reliability is a primary concern
Application Guidelines
  • Use in contaminated fuels or in applications where the percentage of fuel-to-water exceeds 5 percent may impede normal performance
  • Gasket required for sealing
  • Do not over-torque screws on installation!
  • Disconnect battery cable from positive battery terminal before installing fuel level sender
