Pneumercator LS600-LD-BN-1-F Float-Type Leak Sensor, Non-Discriminating, Buna-N Vertical Float with Fault Detect – (SKU: LS600-LD-BN-1-F) is a secondary containment leak sensor that provides simple “wet/dry” indication using a vertical magnetic float. It is designed for monitoring sumps, dispenser pans, turbine enclosures, and interstitial spaces where early leak detection from product or water is required.
Non-Discriminating Vertical Float Sensing: A Buna-N float travels on a brass stem and actuates an internal hermetically sealed reed switch when liquid reaches the trip level. Because it is non-discriminating, the sensor responds to either water or fuel in the containment area, making it suitable for general leak alarm applications in UST/AST systems.
Fault Detect Version: The “F” variant incorporates supervised wiring (fault detect) so compatible consoles can monitor not only leak status but also cable integrity, detecting open-circuit, short-circuit, or ground fault conditions on the sensor loop. This enhances system reliability and simplifies troubleshooting in large facilities.
Rugged Construction & Typical Ratings: Wetted materials are Buna-N and brass, with stainless/engineering plastic body components for durability in petroleum environments. A factory-attached PVC-jacketed cable (typically 25 ft, 2-conductor, #22 AWG) allows easy routing back to the monitoring panel, and the sensor is sized to pass through common riser or sump openings.
Integration & Approvals: The LS600-LD-BN-1-F is intended for use with Pneumercator leak detection and tank monitoring consoles that support fault-detect leak sensor inputs, providing audible/visual alarms and relay outputs for building management or shutdown interlocks. It is listed for use in appropriate hazardous locations when installed and wired according to code and the controller manufacturer’s instructions.
Summary: The LS600-LD-BN-1-F combines reliable non-discriminating float leak detection with fault-supervised wiring, delivering a robust, low-profile solution for monitoring secondary containment points in fuel storage and handling systems.
