capacitive electrolyte level sensors

The ABERTAX® CLS - with external probe and external LED is our version suitable for small shape batteries for monitoring the electrolyte level in a battery. The level probe is external and has an external LED housing, giving a steady GREEN signal, when electrolyte level is above the cell plates, and turning to flashing RED, when the electrolyte level is below the cell plates.

The external LED is available to be mounted with strapping brackets in the cell connector (Version Strapping Brackets) or as an inter battery blade to be fitted between the cells (Interbatterblade Version). Please follow the attached installation instruction. To install the CLS, you either drill a hole in the cell lid and use the Gauge Guard version for sealing and measuring the probe length, or you make use of the air agitation hole. For this installation you need the O-ring version.
