SSI Technologies Application Note DT-AN5 Digital Fluid-Trac (DFT-110) Multi-Unit Drum Gauge Product Overview Product Features Multiple Selectable Units: 15, 30, 55 gallons or 57, 114, 208 liters Resolution: +/- 0.5 gallon or +/- 1 liter Accuracy: +/-2% of full scale volume Automatic Shutoff To Prolong Battery Life NEMA 4 Packaging Low Level Warning Static Display Useful for Usage Consumption Calculations: The static level Press and release reading can be used for manual rate Refresh/Select to update the calculations i.e. daily or weekly consumption. level reading and select display units Low Level Warning Light: A red LED will flash once every second when the volume is at 10% or below the maximum volume. Product Description Digital Fluid-Trac Model DFT-110 multi unit drum Easy to install: Digital Fluid-Trac DFT-110 has no components to protrude into the drum. level gauge is a cost competitive non-contact liquid level drum gauge. The DFT-110 drum gauge was designed for usage on ANSI MH2-2004 vertical drums Standard: Fits 2 NPT or NPS opening ( 32 inch depths). The DFT-110 drum gauge allows the user to easily select between the following vertical More Reliable: No components to chemically drum settings: corrode inside liquid media. 15 gallon Chemical compatibility: Digital Fluid-Trac 30 gallon DFT-110 drum gauge works with a wide variety of media such as water, waste water, 55 gallon motor oil, hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel. 57 liter 114 liter The Digital Fluid-Trac DFT-110 drum level gauge is NOT intended for use with gasoline. 208 liter SSI can customize the drum level gauge for other sizes for large volume OEM orders.

The unit frequency sound wave and measures the time for the can run on alkaline or lithium batteries. echo to reflect off the target fluids surface and return. The distance from the Digital Fluid-Tracs sensor to the If the battery life is low (voltage is below 14.2 volts), liquid is calculated based on the speed of sound. LoB will continuously flash to notify the user to replace the batteries. The Digital Fluid-Trac DFT-110 has a LCD which displays the liquid level pictorially as well as in gallon (or liter) units. The display shows the level reading from the last time the Refresh/Select button was pressed. When the Refresh/Select button is pressed and Displaying the DFT-110 Setting released, the DFT-110s back-light is illuminated and 8.8.8. is displayed for 4 seconds to indicate the unit is in test mode. The unit continuously monitors the a) Press and hold the Refresh/Select button media in the vertical drum for 7 seconds and then displays the liquid level. The level reading will remain down for 7 seconds. The drum size will be static until the Refresh/Select button is depressed displayed. and the selected units (Liter or again. Gallon) will be flashing. 20 seconds after the button was pressed, the unit will b) Release the Refresh/Select button and the go into a battery saver mode where the back-light is unit will automatically go back into test shut off. The liquid level reading will be displayed for 5 minutes before the display turns off. mode (indicated by 8.8.8) in 20 seconds A low level warning light (red LED located on the bottom left of the LCD display), will flash once every second when the liquid level is <= 10% the maximum volume. Note: This warning light does not operate once the unit has powered down in battery saver mode. Copyright April 21, 2009 SSI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. SSI Technologies Inc.
