the mounting hole in the tank is strong enough to withstand the forces imposed by the sensor from its weight
and the vibrations it may be exposed to. Please contact Gill Sensor & Controls Limited to discuss specific sensor
requirements when mounted at an angle.
Before installation, ensure you have sufficient clearance above the tank in to order to mount the sensor. The
sensor is rigid, therefore the clearance height must be, at a minimum, the designated length of the sensor plus
30mm to allow for the flange on sensors with 1.125” UNF or 1.25” BSP fittings. The 2” NPT sensor has a top exit
cable and requires a minimum of 75mm clearance above the top of the tank. Sideways clearance may also be
required, and should be accounted for.

7010 Liquid Level Sensor
O-ring and Gasket
Quick Start Guide
4.2 Cable length & strain relief
The sensor is provided with a flying lead of 1000mm, which may be shortened appropriate to the application.
Ensure that the cable is secured to avoid damage during operation. It is recommended that cable length is
kept to a minimum to prevent large voltage drops over the length of the cable which may affect the operation
of the sensor.
Cable strain relief is provided at the sensor. Care should be taken not to stress the cable at the cable entry. The
minimum recommended cable bend radius is 20mm. It is recommended that you do not connect the cable
before installation.
