Using magnetostrictive technology, our probes provide continuous and highly accurate readings of liquids inside of the tank. By transmitting a high frequency electrical impulse that travels at the speed of sound, the advanced technology within the probes is able to measure the time elapsed between the initial sending of the signal and its return to the float, giving an unbeatably accurate fuel reading which is then relayed to the console on site or directly to the point-of-sale (POS). The DFS DMP probe is certified to meet or exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s performance standards for 0.1 gph (0.38 L/hr) annual volumetric tank tightness testing and 0.2 gph (0.76 L/hr) monthly product-level monitoring.
The DFS DMP probe features standard stainlesssteel construction, making it ideally suited for use with gasoline, diesel, ethanol and biodiesel. Offering standard RS485 interface with fast and reliable data transmission, or with “1-wire communication” option, compatible with our legacy ATG systems, our wired probes are suitable for both above and below ground tanks and are the product of choice for many retailers across the globe.
The DFS DMP Probe is available to purchase with a density float, which is able to accurately measure the purity of fuel within tanks, detecting even the smallest of changes in product quality. This is particularly useful to sites requiring confirmation fuel composition, whether to detect the accuracy of blends or to confirm the product purchased is what was delivered into the tank. Speak to our team to order the wired probe with density float.
The Aqueous Ethanol Float (AEF) sensor provides early detection of unstable water levels inside of ethanol-blended fuel tanks, by indiciating potential phase separation. By measuring the changes in density, the AEF sensor provides an early warning of the presence of water, notifiying the retailer to stop selling fuel whilst investigations are carried out. Programmable thresholds and alarm settings also allow corrective actions to be deployed before phase separation occurs, and subsequent costly fuel loss.
