LSM200-38999

The LSM200-38999 is a high-precision capacitive fuel and oil level sensor engineered for UAV platforms operating in demanding military and aerospace environments. Designed for quick integration via a 2-bolt mounting and MIL-DTL-38999 connector, it ensures minimal downtime and robust electrical interfacing. This solid-state device delivers continuous, orientation-independent measurement accuracy of ±1% of reading, with enhanced ±0.5% variants available for critical applications.

Featuring dual analog 0–5V and CAN bus output options, the sensor seamlessly integrates with mission systems and avionics. Certified to MIL-STD EMC standards and IP68-rated, it performs reliably across a broad thermal envelope from -40°C to +125°C, with extreme variants down to -55°C and up to +150°C. Purpose-built for UAV fuel and oil tanks, the LSM200-38999 provides dependable fluid monitoring under high-vibration, high-altitude conditions.
