*The "high" and "low" refer to high and low level alarm points of hydrostatic sensors.
** See glossary.

***This evaluation determined the sensor's responses to the liquids shown above.  Biodiesel blends B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467 and biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751 would also produce an alarm if the sensor threshold is exceeded.  Responses to these fuels were not determined, but would be expected to be very similar to the diesel responses.

 

Comments:
TSP-HIS BriteSensor is intended to monitor level of either ethylene glycol or calcium chloride solutions in interstitial or annular space of a double-walled tank.  Activates if any significant gain or loss of solution occurs.
Comparison of Tank Sentinel TS-1001/TS-2001 and TS-5xxx series consoles with Tank Sentinel TS-1000(including EFI)/TS-2000 series consoles showed comparable results when evaluated with representative sensors.

TSP-UHS is the same as the TSP-ULS sensor except that the float has been inverted so that it may be used to monitor the brine reservoir of containment sumps.  An alarm condition will occur when the fluid level drops below the end of the sensor.
Sensors are reusable.
