A fuel leak detection sensor is an advanced device that detects and monitors oil leaks. It provides a reliable and efficient solution for critical sites. By raising early alerts, it prevents financial losses, climate hazards, and operational disruption.
Fuel leak sensors utilize Optoschmitt technology to detect changes in the refractive index at the sensor's dome boundary when it encounters a liquid. Once the fuel leak detector notices a change, it triggers an alarm to notify the presence of leakage. When it comes to construction, it's built with a stainless steel bracket for stability. A tubular body contains the fuel leakage sensors dome whose height can be adjusted.
The job of the sensor dome is to detect changes in the refractive index. It is encapsulated at the base of the tubular body. It is supported by a stainless steel bracket to provide a stable mounting platform. The dome can be moved up and down to adjust its height for precise positioning of the sensor to detect leaks.
Fuel detectors are connected to the main oil leak detection panel using a four-core signal cable. Once fuel is detected, the cable transmits the sensor signal to the main control unit. The control unit processed the information activated the appropriate alarm and activated relays. Probe-type fuel leakage detectors are connected to the panel in parallel to create multiple zones.
A good use for small places, the spot leak sensors offered by us are here to meet the needs of a simple setup. Due to its compact size of 1.55 x 2 x 1 inches, it can easily fit into small areas. Its thin and small look not only gives a good fit but also makes the setup very people-friendly and comfortable. Weighing only 105 grams, the detector is light in weight and easy to handle, which also increases its people-friendly nature.
The probe fuel leak sensor is made in a way to works well in different types of environmental conditions. It works very well in temperatures from 0° to 50°C, making it suitable for many inside environments. Additionally, it can work in humid levels changing from 5% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing), even in areas with a lot of humid levels.
The probe fuel leak detector works as a switch. During normal conditions, it maintains an open circuit. But, when a leak is found by the sensing probes, the circuit closes and starts an alarm. This quick alert system makes sure that users are quickly told of any leaks, to take quick action and stop possible damage.
Investing in these units means getting comfort in mind by effective and good leak detection. Having a small size and easy setup process makes it a great tool to be safe from oil leaks. Do not let leaks go hidden. Get CtrlTech ‘s oil leak detector for effective oil leak detection.
Discover the key features of our fuel leakage sensor, which helps to quickly detect fuel leaks very easily by connecting with other fuel alarm systems for good detection of oil leaks.

Probe-type fuel leak detectors offer several benefits compared to cable-type detection systems. Probe design allows it to do localized monitoring at targeted areas. Thus, it is very effective for high-risk and leak-prone tiny spaces. Let's see how a probe oil sensor can be a better choice than a wired type.
Localized Detection
Provides precise leak detection at specific points rather than along a continuous length.
Cost-Effective
Typically, it is less expensive than wired sensors to install and maintain compared to cable systems.
Easier Installation
Requires a simpler plug-n-play setup without the need for extensive cable runs than a cable-type detector.
Flexibility
Can be installed in a variety of environments and surfaces by adjusting for different detection heights.
Reusable Sensors
Unlike many other fuel leak sensors, probe sensors can be cleaned and reused multiple times.
Targeted Monitoring
Probe-type fuel leak detectors are ideal for monitoring specific high-risk areas or equipment.
Compact Design
It fits into tight spaces where cable systems may be impractical to install and maintain.
Lower Power use
It uses a low-voltage cable to connect with the panel and operates efficiently with minimal energy consumption.
Immediate Response
Provides instant leak detection single to the control panel to initiate an audio or visual alarm.
Durability
Constructed from IP65-rated robust materials, offering long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
Replacement Cost
As compared to a sensing cable, probe sensors can be replaced at a lower cost and in a shorter time.
