Kongsberg GL-10 Level Switch

Kongsberg GL-10 Level Switch

Water Ingress Detection Sensor

General description

The patented GL-10 sensor is designed to meet

the requirements in SOLAS Ch. XII, Reg. 12 and

Ch. II-1. Reg. 25 and intended for water level

detection in Cargo Holds, Ballast Tanks, and Dry

Spaces of Bulk Carriers.

Output signal is 2-wire 4 to 20 mA, it will give a

steady 12mA when no liquid is detected and

jump to 18mA when liquid is detected.

The sensor is delivered connected and moulded

to a flexible PUR-cable and installed into a Ø60

mm steel-tube with a length of 0.2 m.

The sensor can be mounted inside cargo hold

with a clamp or from void space with the

protecting pipe welded to the bulkhead.

The sensor can also be used as a general purpose

water ingress detector, i.e. bilge system.

The sensor is intrinsically safe EEx ia, and must

be connected to a Zener-barrier like the

Kongsberg DZ-110. when used in hazardous

areas.

Standard features

• Unique and patented liquid detection sensor

GL-10. designed for the harsh environment

in ships cargo holds.

• The sensor design contains no moving parts

and is very resistant to clogging from cargo.

• The sensor has IP68 protection and is well

suited for areas which can be filled with

water, e.g. Fore peak Tank.
