Over 30 years of Arjay’s field proven HF capacitance technology has been applied to the 9820/9830-OWS oil water separator alarms. The sensing probe continuously monitors for oil to control pumps, operate valves, or activate alarms.

9820 | 9830-OWS The 9820/9830-OWS sensing probe monitors the capacitance field around the active probe tip. As the volume of separated oil increases in the separator or is drawn down toward the probe tip, the probe capacitance changes. This change is used to activate the relay for alarm interface and control.

For use with any Arjay Level Probes DESCRIPTION The ARJAY 9830-ows oil level alarm is specifically designed for use in Oil/Water Separators and in Sumps. The unit senses the change in dielectric of water to oil using a RF capacitance measurement technique together with microcontroller technology for high resolution measurements.
