a. GENERAL.

(1) The transmitter consists of a network of voltage divider resistors and magnetic reed switches

which are contained in silicon rubber potted in a mylar tube that is surrounded by a neoprene tube and all

mounted in a stainless steel tube. Electrical leads connecting to the resistors and magnetic reed switches are

brought to electrical connectors located at the bottom of the transmitter.

(2) A cylindrical float assembly located on the stainless steel tube is free to move up and down the

tube within limits established by pairs of brackets that are integral with the transmitters. The bracket pairs on

the tube are used as mounting surfaces for the installation of transmitters in the fluid tank.

(3) The transmitter is used in single-transmitter installation in which fluid levels at the top of the tank

can be indicated, but fluid levels can be indicated only to a minimum point that lies above the bottom of the

tank.
