Innovative Components manufactures liquid level monitors, tank level indicators, and gauges for a wide range of sensing and measurement applications. A liquid level monitor gives you a continuous digital reading, an at-a-glance LED display, or a manual mechanical reading — with options that work whether or not power is available at the tank. We offer precision electronic level sensors alongside fully mechanical indicators for sites without power. The mechanical liquid level tape measure (LLTM series) reads full to empty in inches. The Level Keeper indicator (LKI series) is a multi-point system that shows full to empty on bright LED lights. The Continuous Level Monitor (CLM series) reads to a quarter inch of movement for precise indication. And the ultrasonic distance sensors (ULS series) provide non-contact level measurement at the longest range, working in tanks up to 30 feet deep. Choose a series below, or contact us to match a monitor to your tank and liquid.
These liquid level indicators are fully mechanical and provide an exact measurement of how much liquid is in your tank. These units are ideal for portable storage tanks, hazardous locations, or remote areas where electricity is not available. They are offered in all stainless steel, stainless & buna, and polypropylene. To take a reading simply pull the tape measure out of the stem until you feel a magnetic lock up between the float and tape measure.
These vertical float type continuous level sensors are used in tanks and vessels that require precise liquid tank level gauge indication. They are offered in all stainless steel, stainless & Buna, or polypropylene. The sensor is a 3 wire potentiometer that provides a change in resistance every ¼” of level movement. Use a digital panel meter to display the exact liquid tank level gauge reading or signal conditioner which provides a standard 4-20mA output signal.
These multi point tank level indicators are a great choice for storage tanks and totes. They provide bright, easy to read, full to empty LED tank level gauge indication. These versatile float level indicators are available in all stainless steel, stainless & buna, and polypropylene. Additional output relays can be added for high and low alarms or pump control.
These non contact ultrasonic distance sensors provide highly accurate level indication and can measure lengths up to 30 feet. They are great for tank farms and large outdoor storage tanks. They can be used to detect liquids or solids and come with various output options.
The choice comes down to power availability, how precise a reading you need, and tank depth. For sites without power, the mechanical LLTM tape measure gives an exact reading by hand — well suited to storage tanks and transportable containers. For a quick visual on storage tanks and totes, the LKI LED multi-point indicator shows full to empty at a glance. For precise, continuous readings feeding a panel meter or a 4-20mA loop, the CLM continuous monitor tracks every quarter inch. For deep tanks or hazardous locations where nothing should contact the liquid, the ULS ultrasonic sensor measures without touching the media, up to 30 feet.
What is a liquid level monitor? A liquid level monitor is any device that shows how much liquid is in a tank, either continuously or on demand. It can be mechanical, like a tape measure indicator, or electronic, like a continuous sensor or a non-contact ultrasonic unit.
What is the difference between a liquid level indicator and a continuous level monitor? An indicator gives a point or on-demand reading, such as a tape you pull or LED lights at set heights. A continuous monitor outputs a live signal across the full range, so you can feed a panel meter, PLC, or 4-20mA loop for real-time tracking.
Can I monitor a tank with no power available? Yes. The mechanical LLTM tape measure indicator needs no power. You pull the tape until it locks magnetically to the float and read the level in inches.
How deep a tank can an ultrasonic sensor measure? The ULS ultrasonic sensors measure up to 30 feet and work on both liquids and solids, which suits tank farms and large outdoor storage.
