Application Information

The versatile design of the VCS series level sensor provides four different mounting and operating modes. The sensor can mount at either the top or bottom of a liquid storage tank. In either position, end of the float, it can be removed from the stem, turned upside down, and reinstalled to provide any of the four configurations shown below. To remove and re-orient the float, gently squeeze the retainer clips at the end of the sensor and slide the float off the stem. Reinstall the float by sliding it back over the stem ensuring that it passes the clips and allows them to return to their original position. To avoid leaks, especially when mounting at the bottom of a tank, use appropriate sealing techniques around the threaded area. For the 1/8” NPT fitting, wrap PTFE tape on the threads prior to installation. For the M8 x 1.25 fitting, use an O-ring or sealing washer around the threads on the interior of the tank along with a properly sized locking nut on the outside. O-ring Placement
