Thermistor and Optic Sensors SP-M/SP-IO
Liquid Level Sensors For Storage Tanks and Other Fixed Applications
Featuring Dynacheck® – Automatic and Continuous Self-Checking Circuitry
DESCRIPTION
The Scully SP-M (thermistor) and SP-IO (optic) models are single point liquid level sensors for use with Scully ST-15 self-checking control monitors. They are used in storage tanks, double containment piping trenches, and double wall storage tank interstitial space monitoring. These reliable sensors have no moving parts and thus are virtually maintenance free.
The SP-M and SP-IO style sensors have a 3/8″ NPT mounting thread and are generally used in conjunction with an SP-O or SP-H style holder. The sensors can be easily extended to the desired installation depth using standard 3/8″ IPS pipe and a pipe coupling. The SP-O elbow holder is generally used when a single sensing point is needed. It can accommodate either an SP-M or SP-IO sensor and mounts into a 3/4” NPT opening in the tank. The SP-H holder allows for up to 3 SP-M and/or SP-IO sensors to be conveniently installed into a single 2″ NPT tank opening. SP-H holders are commonly used to implement multiple high-level and low-level warning points. Both sensor holders are threaded to accept a 1/2″ NPT conduit fitting.
