Votronic 30-110 K-FL Quick Manual

Tank Electrode 30-110 K-FL

The tank transmitter had been designed for precise level measuring of fresh water tanks, grey water tanks and
sewage water tanks of plastic and metal material in campers, caravans and boats.
Measurement of the level is effected fully-automatically without mechanically moving parts according to the
capacitive method of measurement, and it is transferred to the display unit via a three-core cable.
The electronic system is completely sealed. Thus, it is extremely robust and insensitive to soiling.
Tank measuring sensor, suitable and required for VOTRONIC tank displays, 1 piece per tank:
Tank Display Units:
• Fresh Water Tank Display S
• Sewage Water Tank Display S
• Info Panel Pro
• Votronic VBS 2 Bus System
• Votronic VPC System
• Previous Votronic tank displays since 1987
Brief Instruction:
Produce a mounting hole at the tank with Ø 38 mm or thread PG 29.
1.
Determine the kind of installation, inside or outside the tank, and measure the inside tank height.
2.
Cut the cable probe to the desired length (observe a clearance of 10-20 mm between probe and tank bottom).
3.
Reinsert the insulating cap on the cable probe (observe the tightness).
4.
Install the tank transmitter inside or outside using the delivered packing ring.
5.
Conductor:
6.
Plastic tank: Produce a bore hole, Ø 9.5 mm (as low as possible at the tank), burr, insert the conductor cable to the
2.8mm faston connector "com", cut it to length and crimp / solder it on the cable lug, insert the rubber dowel, install
the washer and the cable lug by means of the stainless steel screw M5x20, tighten the screw.
Metal tank: Insert the conductor cable to the 2.8mm faston connector "com", and connect it conductively to the tank
close to the transmitter.
Set the measured tank height at the scale.
7.
Produce the electrical connection to the display unit.
8.
Ready for start-up.

For remote level measurement the tank electrode K-FL is
installed directly at the tank. It is suitable for:
• Fresh water (if applicable, please observe the Guidelines
for Drinking-Water Quality DIN 2001-2)
• Sewage water, grey water
• Plastic tanks, any material
• Metal tanks (aluminium, steel, stainless steel, etc.)
• Adjustable to tank heights from 30 cm to 110 cm.
Functioning:
The level in the tank is measured capacitively. The flexible
cable probe and the surrounding water form a kind of
"capacitor", the size of which is growing with the level, and
which is measured by the electronic system.
The contact to the water as "antipole" is effected by a
conductor, connection "com".
