Neptune Liquid Level Sensor - 15 Inch

Neptune Liquid Level Sensor - 15 Inch

The Neptune LLS Sensors for your Apex controller allow for the measurement of water depth in inches or centimeters.

The Liquid Level Sensor is available in four different sizes- 4", 15" 23" and 35" with each sensor having a special place in helping understand the water level in the sump, aquarium, reservoirs, and other liquid-holding containers.

No longer do you need to physically look to see how much water level is above or below a specific point, but now simply open the Apex Fusion App and observe.

How the LLS from Neptune works

The LLS sensor can connect to any available FMM port in your Apex System. Liquid will enter the plastic envelope around the thin material of the sensor. Once the liquid is in contact with the sensor material the LLS uses a patented resistive sensing technology to accurately and reliably measure the liquid level in a container.

Included with each LLS sensor is a clip that allows for the mounting of the sensor to the side of the sump, aquarium or container. You can also mount the LLS sensor to a baffle inside the sump.

Once calibrated the LLS is accurate to about two-tenths of an inch.

Liquid Level Sensor- 15" Applications

This is the ideal sensor for your average containers used in and around aquarium. This will be the ideal sensor for measuring the return pump section of your sump. You will be able to make sure that the water level stays consistent and any drops or gains in water level can be carefully examined to make sure there are no changes to your salinity.

Further, if, for example, the ATO reservoir is empty and the water level in the return pump area starts to fall, then if using a COR or Vectra pump (new/upcoming feature) you can turn the speed of the return pump down to prevent cavitation.

Another great application of the 15" sensor is to place in your ATO reservoir. Especially if you have a reservoir you need to fill manually, often times you simply look at the reservoir while going out the door and know if it is enough water to cover the evaporation rate while you'll be gone. If not, you usually stop what you are doing and take care of it. Now, simply pull out your Apex Fusion App and know without even looking!

Application Notes for the LSS

The components in the head of the LLS are fully encapsulated in epoxy, but the LLS is not intended to be fully submerged. Care should be taken when selecting the proper length of LLS and installing it to ensure that the water level never exceeds the uppermost graduation mark.
