7010 Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited 3.1 TANK PROFILING The sensor is configured for use with regular tank profiles, such as that shown below. Sensor Full Level 100% Liquid Half Level Empt Level RegularTank The sensor is supplied so that it reports the level in a linear path as the level rises. However, this will not be suitable for an irregular shaped tank, such as that shown below.
MIN-- Inverted All 7010 sensors can be mounted using a SAE 5-bolt pattern and the supplied gasket. Depending on the unit ordered, the sensor can be installed using a 1.125" UNF or 1.25" BSP thread and the supplied O-ring.

7010 Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited Before installation, ensure you have sufficient clearance above the tank in to order to mount the sensor. The sensor is rigid, therefore the clearance height must be, at a minimum, the designated length of the sensor plus 30mm to allow for the flange.
