Ultrasonic External Stick Fuel Level Sensor
1. Production Overview
Ultrasonic oil level sensor is the oil quantity monitoring equipment designed for management personnel of enterprise motorcade. It can prevent gasoline theft by drivers, optimize transportation cost, the driver’s driving action and assist statistical decision, etc. The sensor uses ultrasonic probe to detect the oil level height and carries out smart processing for height signal of oil quantity through built-in program of the main body. Then it sends the oil quantity information to the system platform through GPS to generate the oil quantity report after analysis. The sensor supports serial port and analog output and can connect with GPS of most brands/Beidou all-in-one machine. Therefore, the sensor can be connected with the backstage monitoring system easily.
The products adopt non-contact measurement ultrasonic wave sensor technology developed independently by our company and first created domestically and are widely used in fuel consumption monitoring projects for vehicles and sold overseas.

2.3 Product characteristics
1. High Precision: Our oil level sensor boasts a measurement resolution of 0.1mm for oil height and an accuracy of ±0.5%. It maintains this high accuracy even in extreme temperature conditions, both hot and cold.
2. Long-Term Stability: Employing ultrasonic measurement technology, our oil level sensor operates through non-contact measurement. Unlike traditional methods such as float, pressure, or magnetic sliding systems which involve direct contact and are prone to fuel corrosion and contamination, our sensor ensures prolonged stability.
3. Easy Installation and Maintenance: Simply install the sensor probe at the lower part of the external fuel tank. No need to replace existing measurement systems or drill holes in the tank. It guarantees the seamless operation of the vehicle's front fuel gauge.
4. Environmentally Friendly with Low Energy Consumption: The non-contact measurement eliminates the need for drilling or modifications on the tank, preventing fuel residue and pollution. Our sensor contributes to a cleaner environment and consumes minimal energy.
5. Strong Reliability: Our sensor remains operational even in harsh conditions, offering moisture resistance, acid resistance, flame retardation, interference resistance, and intelligent capabilities.
Furthermore, this product can be used independently with an auxiliary display screen. It can also be integrated with GPS devices to transmit data to the backend for statistical analysis, report generation, and querying.
2.4 Application Scope:
The ultrasonic oil level sensor is designed for various types of vehicles, including logistics vehicles, taxis, buses, and coaches. It not only digitally records refueling and fuel consumption but also effectively prevents fuel theft, reduces resource wastage, enhances management efficiency, promotes traffic safety, and elevates operational management standards.
