Sensor Selection


FIND THE RIGHT SENSOR FOR YOUR APPLICATION

No matter what the monitoring application is, Franklin Fueling Systems offers a sensor solution tailored to the specific requirements of each application.

Consider these three questions when choosing the right sensor for your application.

Does your application require the need to tell the difference between fuel and water?


DISCRIMINATING SENSORS

Discriminating sensors are able to detect and send an alarm signal if the presence of liquid is detected inside of a containment space and can also differentiate between liquid and hydrocarbons.

Does your application only require the need detect any type of liquid?


NON-DISCRIMINATING SENSORS

Non-discriminating sensors are able to detect and send an alarm signal if the presence of liquid is detected inside of a containment space.

What type of Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) are you connecting to?


ATG REQUIREMENTS

Depending on the sensor type, either a two-wire sensor module, a three-wire sensor module, or a probe module is used to power and read the sensors. Select the appropriate model number of sensor that's compatible with your ATG using the chart below.

  • EVO™ 600/6000 may support additional sensors. Sensors with “-U” that are used with the EVO™ 600/6000 wire to either a Universal Device Protocol Module (FMP-UDP9) or a Probe Module (TS-PRB).
  • FMP-DDS, FMP-TDS, FMP-EIS, FMP-DIS, FMP-HIS and FMP-HIS-XL all require a 3-Wire Sensor Module (TS-3WSNS).
