Typical applications
- Monitoring wells
- Water basins with varying water levels
- Applications where oil or hydrocarbon layers on the surface of water need to be monitored
The SET-1000 control unit and SET/OSK2 sensor form a system for monitoring oil or hydrocarbon layers on the surface of water. The floating capacitive SET/OSK2 sensor generates an alarm when the oil or hydrocarbon layer on the water surface is at least 15 mm thick or when the sensor is left in air.
The SET/OSK2 is suitable for applications such as monitoring wells and various water basins where the water level varies. The sensor floats on the water surface and must remain immersed in liquid during normal operation. The SET-1000 control unit indicates alarm and fault conditions with indicator lights and a buzzer and provides relay outputs for monitoring and control systems.
Operation and features
- Floating capacitive sensor for monitoring oil or hydrocarbon layers on the surface of water.
- Alarm for an oil or hydrocarbon layer of at least 15 mm.
- The SET-1000 provides indication of alarm and fault conditions.
- Relay outputs for connection to monitoring and control systems.
- The SET/OSK2 sensor can be installed in hazardous areas classified as Zone 0, 1 or 2. The SET-1000 control unit must be installed in a safe area.
Please note: SET/OSK2 also triggers an alarm if the sensor is left in air. Therefore, during normal operation, the sensor must remain in the liquid at all times.
Benefits of SET‑1000 + SET/OSK2
- Reliable oil layer monitoring
The capacitive SET/OSK2 sensor monitors oil or hydrocarbon layers forming on the water surface and generates an alarm when the layer is at least 15 mm thick.
- Floating design for varying water levels
The sensor is installed to float on the water surface. Sufficient cable length must be provided to accommodate changes in the water level and prevent the sensor from being suspended in air.
- Clear alarms and relay outputs
The SET-1000 control unit indicates alarm and fault conditions with indicator lights and a buzzer. Its changeover relay outputs can be used for monitoring and control applications.
