LSM600-HEAVY

The LSM600-HEAVY is a solid-state fuel level sensor engineered to withstand the rigors of extreme military operations. Designed with a 6-bolt secure mounting flange and hard-anodized aluminum housing, this high-reliability instrument operates flawlessly in environments subjected to intense vibration, thermal extremes, and differential pressure. The capacitive sensing technology provides continuous, high-accuracy measurements with ±0.5% precision, eliminating mechanical wear points for superior longevity and maintenance-free operation. Integrated electronics within the sensor head deliver compact installation without external CPUs, supporting analog, CAN, or dual-output configurations.

Rated IP69K and tested to MIL-STD-461G and RTCA DO160F, the LSM600-HEAVY thrives in battlefield environments where shock resistance and electromagnetic compliance are critical. Suitable for use in armored combat vehicles, engineering platforms, and support fleets, it delivers real-time insight into oil and fuel levels to support predictive maintenance and mission readiness. The sensor accommodates fluid-specific calibration, withstands rapid thermal fluctuations from -55°C to +150°C, and features internal damping for stable readings during mobile operations. Optional pressure ratings up to 10 bar are available, with full connector and mounting customization support.
