Hydrocarbon Liquid Sensor Installation
The Hydrocarbon Liquid/Water, which is available in lengths of 6 feet
(1.8 m), 15 feet (4.6 m) and 20 feet (6.1 m), is used primarily for
monitoring wet wells with fluctuating groundwater tables. The sensor
contains a carbon/polymer material that changes its resistance when
exposed to liquid hydrocarbons. Additionally, a water sensor that
relies on the conductivity of water to detect its presence is utilized,
providing the ability to discriminate between hydrocarbon liquid and
water. An alarm condition will result from the absence of groundwater
in a monitoring well. Detection of fuel entering the containment area
(indicating a leak) will also result in an alarm condition, as will a break
in the cable or sensor malfunction.
*NOTE: Maximum Wiring Length is the maximum length of cable to
be used to connect all sensors on an individual channel. This length
includes run of cable from I.S. Barrier to each sensor board in the
string.
