Electric Level Sensor

The Electric Level Sensor provides efficient, zero-emission control of oil and gas separation equipment.

Featuring push-button set up, the Electric Level Sensor is easy to commission, and it features no wearable parts, meaning the only maintenance required is on the displacer in your production vessel. Designed for standard 4-20mA control systems, the ELS integrates easily with the Electric Actuator, Electric Pilot, or a PLC.
