Product description Properties TankControl 10 consists of a control unit with graphical display and a submersible probe with integrated pressure measuring cell. The level can be displayed in litres, cubic metres, percent or liquid level in mil- limetres. When the level falls below or exceeds an adjustable mini- mum or maximum value, the control unit triggers visual and, if de- sired, audible (can be acknowledged) alarms.
