LSM800

The LSM800 is a lightweight capacitive level sensor engineered for defense and security UAV platforms where endurance and reliability are mission-critical. Its anodized aluminum construction and solid-state design eliminate moving components, providing consistent 100Hz fluid level readings even under severe vibration and shock. The unit’s compact AN-8 threaded mounting minimizes footprint while allowing for custom sensor lengths up to 450 mm, ensuring an ideal fit within constrained airframe architectures.

Designed for continuous performance in harsh conditions, the LSM800 maintains ±1% reading accuracy (±0.5% variant available) across extreme temperatures from –40°C to +125°C, with a high-resilience version rated up to +150°C. Integrated electronics deliver analog 0–5V, CAN, or combined outputs without external processors, and the IP68 enclosure with 2-bar differential pressure tolerance supports reliable operation in high-dynamic UAV environments. Calibrated directly in working fluids including Gasoline, AVGAS, JET-A, JP-4, and JP-8, the LSM800 provides dependable real-time data for fuel and oil level analysis.
