SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS  
1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
These series of Liquid Level Detection systems are ideal, low cost ultrasonic liq-  
uid level detection systems for many applications. They operate in a broad spec-  
trum of viscous to light liquids.  
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
2
The LL-10 Series operates using ultrasonic sound wave propagation. Ultrasonic  
sound waves are greatly attenuated when transmitted through air. Conversely,  
when liquid is present, transmission of the sound waves is greatly enhanced. The  
electronic control unit generates electrical signals that are converted to bursts of  
ultrasonic energy at the sensor. The ultrasonic bursts are transmitted across the liq-  
uid sensing gap. Upon receipt of a valid signal, the solid state electronics gener-  
ate a “data enable” condition indicating liquid is present. This signal energizes a  
relay and/or provides an output condition.  
NOTES:  
1. Standard Sensor Material: 316 Stainless Steel. Solid one piece molded body  
Tefzel is also available.  
2. 3/4” NPT mounting is standard, different NPT and flanges are optional.  
3. Standard length of the sensor is 2.50” with activation point 1/4” from the bot-  
tom of the sensor. Extension up to 100” is available.

INSTALLATION  
3
FINAL INSTALLATION  
Follow the instructions below:  
1. Drill a suitable hole in the vessel or pipe wall and tap for 3/4” NPT. If this  
walled vessel or material is not suitable for threading, weld or braze a bushing  
to accept the sensor.  
2. Screw the sensor in the threaded section and make sure that there is a good  
seal. Use a pipe compound or sealing tape to avoid excessive tightening.  
Do not over tighten.  
3. Run the power and control wiring cable to the electronic control unit.  
Observe all applicable electrical codes and proper wiring procedures.  
MAINTENANCE  
Electronics are constructed with solid state components and epoxy potted.  
Periodically, check and clean the sensor when used with liquids which cause a  
coating build up on the sensor. No other maintenance is required.  
CLEANING  
If the pipe or vessel to which the sensor is mounted is to be steam cleaned or  
cleaned with abrasive detergents, remove the entire unit before cleaning by:  
1. Disconnecting the power at source;  
2. Opening the housing cover;  
3. Removing power and control wiring cables;  
4. Unthreading the sensor.  
To reinstall, follow Installation Procedures  
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION  
Should the system malfunction, notify Omega immediately.
