LSM-MICRO

Reventec’s LSM‑MICRO is an ultra-lightweight, capacitive liquid level sensor designed specifically for size- and weight-sensitive unmanned systems. Leveraging solid-state technology for minimal maintenance and continuous real-time monitoring at 100 Hz, it provides reliable fluid-level tracking with ±0.5% accuracy in dynamic airborne environments. Its orientation-independent design ensures accurate measurement regardless of mount angle—perfect for compact, agile unmanned air and land vehicles.

The sensor incorporates integrated electronics delivering flexible output options—0–5 V analog, CAN, or a combination—within its sealed housing. Rated IP68 and capable of -55 °C to +150 °C operation, it withstands environmental extremes. Available in bespoke lengths up to 300 mm and featuring MIL‑STD‑compatible EMC certification, the LSM‑MICRO seamlessly integrates into extended-range UAV fuel or oil systems.
