FCI provides multipoint liquid level and interface switches that include a “strip sensor” or a thermowell mounted sensing element with integral or remote electronics that provide indication of presence or absence of liquid or interface at the multiple sensor locations along the length of the element. The multipoint liquid level element is directly installed into tanks, reservoirs, sumps and gearboxes on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and marine applications. Optional temperature output and controller function is available.

Please complete and submit the attached Application Data Sheet or contact FCI’s Field Representative in your area to receive a technical quotation for your Multipoint Liquid Level and Interface Switch application.
