The OCIO AdBlue® level indicator device is a reliable solution for continuous monitoring of AdBlue® (DEF – Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank levels and for the automatic control of associated equipment. This system is based on static pressure sensing, which allows for precise display of the fluid level or volume, as well as the activation or deactivation of contacts based on pre-set alarm levels.
The OCIO is the ideal choice for industrial, logistics, agricultural, and construction environments where precise and automated monitoring of the AdBlue® level is essential to prevent damage to equipment or operational shutdowns.
The OCIO system ensures fluid management optimization through its outstanding accuracy and flexibility:
Reliable Level Sensing: The system determines the fluid height based on the static pressure sensed by the dip tube placed inside the tank.
Automated Control: Based on the set alarm levels, the control unit acts as a remote switch: it activates alarms or interrupts the power supply to connected equipment (e.g., stopping pumps).
Intuitive User Interface: The control unit features a built-in display and is equipped with comprehensive, user-friendly software for system fine-tuning.
Connection for Two Devices: It is possible to connect two alarm or shut-off devices (e.g., solenoid valve, pump).
Robust Construction: The probe is made of stainless steel for long life and chemical resistance.
The OCIO level indicator system consists of two main components:
Static Pressure Sensing Tube: The probe tube must be inserted through the top of the tank and lowered into the fluid until it touches the bottom of the tank. This tube measures the static pressure exerted by the fluid column, which is directly proportional to the fluid height.
Control Unit (Display and Control Module): This unit processes the data from the pressure sensor, displays the level/volume, and manages the configured logic functions.
The control unit's software offers the user full customizability:
Tank Type and Dimensions Setting: The system can adapt to tanks of various geometries and sizes.
Alarm Level Definition: The minimum (low level) and maximum (high level) alarm threshold values can be precisely set.
Indication Level Definition: A settable level at which a special signal or operation occurs.
Unit of Measure Selection: The display can optionally be in height (meters) or volume (liters).
Instrument Calibration: The system can be precisely adjusted to local conditions and tank specifications.
Based on the set levels, the control unit activates or deactivates the output contacts, functioning as relays for the connected safety or control devices.
The OCIO AdBlue® version can be widely used in the following sectors:
Logistics & Transport: Monitoring AdBlue® supply for large fleets.
Agriculture: Monitoring agricultural machinery and on-site AdBlue® storage tanks.
Mining & Construction: Operation of diesel-powered machines with high AdBlue® consumption.
Industrial Plants: Any industrial environment where AdBlue® storage and consumption takes place.
Garage Equipment: Management of AdBlue® inventory for service centers and workshops.
The OCIO can be used not only for AdBlue® but also for other fluids such as antifreeze, food-grade liquids, and water, ensuring flexibility in use.
