- Page 9 1.1.6 Design and operating principle A measuring head together with a sensor probe submerged in fuel provides fuel level measurement. Sensor probe acts as a condenser, which capacity linearly depends on a fuel level in a tank. Measuring head of the sensor performs linear conversion of sensor probe volume into fuel level digital code, processes acquired digital information with averaged results, measures sensor head temperature and outputs data in unified EDE protocol through RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces (for ES2-H and ES4-H models) or through...
