The Chemical eTape Liquid Level Sensor is a high - performance solid - state sensor. Its resistive output changes based on the fluid level. It ditches the old - fashioned mechanical floats and easily connects with electronic control systems. What makes it special is the Teflon (FEP) jacket, suitable for chemical, petroleum, and food - safe applications. When the sensor is immersed in fluid, the hydrostatic pressure compresses its envelope, causing a resistance change corresponding to the distance from the sensor's top to the fluid surface. The resistive output is inversely proportional to the liquid height. This 12 - foot model is unique and affordable, offering accurate liquid - level measurement. It comes with a 4 - pin connector and a 560 - ohm resistor. The connector simplifies the connection process, eliminating the need to solder directly to the delicate pins. Since it's resistive, it can be easily read using a microcontroller/Arduino ADC pin. Check the tutorials for a quick start.
Using this Chemical eTape Liquid Level Sensor is easy. First, make sure to connect the 4 - pin connector to the sensor. You can solder wires to the connector instead of directly to the delicate pins. Then, immerse the sensor in the liquid you want to measure. The sensor will start detecting the liquid level right away. When using it, avoid rough handling as the sensor is delicate. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals that could damage the Teflon jacket. For maintenance, gently clean the sensor with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. If you want to read the sensor data, use a microcontroller or an Arduino ADC pin. Check the tutorials tab for a quick - start guide if you're new to it.
