10.7 Analogue Water Level
An external level sensor (4-20mA input) can be used for water level detection on the Mk8 MM. This sensor
will give an analogue signal to the MM to indicate level across a 4-20mA input range. The water levels
commissioned for the external level sensor are the same for the capacitance probes which are HIGH,
CONTROL POINT, 1
st
LOW, 2
nd
LOW and END OF PROBE.
The table below shows the terminals allocated on the MM for an external level sensor.
Current input, 4-20mA for external water level probe (or fuel flow feedback)
The table below shows the expansion options to be set to for using external level sensor on the MM.

Note: An additional water level safety device such as 2
nd
low probe or an auxiliary alarm input is required as
minimum with the analogue water level detection device
Note: The external level sensor cannot be used with 4-20mA input for the fuel flow feedback, see option 57.
