The Intempco LTX20 series fuel capacitance level transmitter is designed to measure
level of fuels and oils in metalic and non-metalic tanks. The probe measures level by
measuring the change in capacitance as level changes in the tank. The micro- processor
based electronics converts this capacitance change into a linear, highly accurate 4-20
mA signal.
The LTX20 includes a standard 4 - 20mA loop powered LTX transmitter, a concentric
0.75 -inch diameter concentric shield with 0.188 - rigid sensor for ranges up to 10 feet.
Probe material is SS316. The LTX20 is designed for tanks which have fitting connections
of 3/ 4 " NPT or larger and in applications where the liquid is relatively clean or non-clogging.
An excellent application for the LTX20 are stationary or mobile generators. This level
sensor is shock resistant and very rugged. There are no moving parts. To isolate for
ground loops, a non-conductive reducer ( such as PVC ) can be used between the tank
and the 3/4" NPT fitting of the LTX20.
