On/off tank level control can be achieved using the Spirax Sarco LCS1350 controller in conjunction with LP11-4 level probes. The LCS1350 controller is able to provide the following functions:- a) Pump-in control with low or high alarm or b) Pump-out control with low or high alarm or c) High or low alarm plus extra low alarm. Typical arrangements We recommend the probe is in a protection tube. The metal tank generally forms the earth return. However, where the tank is of a non-conductive material one of the probe electrodes should be used to provide the earth return.
