Product Information

Comprehensive technical details and specifications for our industrial tank gauging solution

Product Description

Our BX-LS-5NPT sensor is designed for applications requiring a ½” MNPT connection, must be installed horizontally or at an upward angle with the ½” NPT facing above horizontal to prevent air pockets and ensure accurate liquid detection.
OMNTEC Bright Eye Sensors (BX-Series) offer simple installation, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. These self-diagnostic sensors continuously monitor their status, provide real-time updates, and transmit unique identification data to the OEL8000III controller, reducing programming requirements and enhancing leak detection efficiency.
