  • Page 3: Product Description

    Gill Sensors & Controls Limited 1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor is designed for use in punishing environments, such as motorsport, industrial and defence applications, where low weight and high accuracy are required. With side or top cable exits and multiple mounting options, the sensor is ready for use in a wide variety of containers for fuels, oils and coolants across a wide temperature range.
  • Page 4 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited A breakdown of the sensor, in both side and top cable exit variations, is provided below with key measurement considerations. Top exit: PROBE LENGTI-1 -7.0 TOTAL MEASUREM NT RANGE �...

    The sensor's secondary output is determined by the customer on order and cannot be altered. Open collector output of 50V / 1 Amax switch to -V (ground) Switch Configurable through user software Units with switch output have part numbers 4223-00-XXN-XXXX ° ° 0.25 V to 4.75 V where 0.25 V = -40 C and 4.75 V = + 125...
  • Page 6 500 Mb disk space One free USB port to connect a sensor A connector is required to configure the sensor with a computer. Gill Sensors & Controls Limited provide an RS232 to USB adaptor (P/N 1484-00-086). The sensor can be powered through the adaptor using the +V and -V leads and communicated with using the Tx and Rx leads.

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.
  • Page 8: Installation

    Inverted The 4223 sensor can be mounted using a variety of 1 hole, 2 hole, 3 hole, 5 hole and threaded adaptors. An 0-ring seal is used for 1 hole (and may be used for 2/3/5 hole) adaptors, while a panel gasket is used for 2/3/5 hole adaptors.
  • Page 9: Parts Supplied

    4223 Lightweight 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 20mm for side exit cable sensors and plus 60mm for top exit cable sensors.
  • Page 10 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited 4.3 FITTING THE MOUNTING ADAPTOR Fitting the 19 x 1.5 mm fluorosilicone O-ring seal Prior to installation of the sensor in the tank an fluorosilicone O-ring seal and/or fluorosilicone panel gasket must be fitted to ensure the tank is sealed. All sensors must be fitted with the 19 x 1.5 mm fluorosilicone O-ring seal as shown in the diagram below.
  • Page 11 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited For top exit cable sensors any orientation may be used. For side exit cable sensors using the 5 hole adaptor, the orientation shown in the diagram below must be used. Align the adaptor and sensor such that the three smaller adaptor fitting holes align with their holes in the sensor and the cable is in the position shown.
  • Page 12 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited 4223 You can use the fluorosilicone O-ring seal with the 1, 2, 3 or 5 hole and the threaded adaptors. Fit the 13 x 1.5 mm fluorosilicone O-ring seal in the position shown in the diagram below.
  • Page 13 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited For panel gasket with 2, 3 and 5 hole mounting adaptors The recommended mounting aperture for use with the panel gasket and 2, 3 and 5 hole adaptors is shown below. Ensure that sufficient space is available around the sensor flange for the cable to bend.
  • Page 14 4223 Lightweight Liquid Level Sensor Gill Sensors & Controls Limited 4.5 MOUNTING ADAPTOR HOLE LAYOUT To fix the mounting adaptor to the tank, you will be required to tap suitable holes into the tank wall. Ensure that the tapped holes do not penetrate entirely through the tank wall as this will prevent a proper seal from being maintained.
