Escort's high-precision water level sensors ("WLS" or "ALS", also referred to as "gauges" or "sensors") are designed to determine the fill level of water in containers, tanks, and storage vessels. The ALS gauge is used in specialized equipment as a water level indicator and in industry as a level sensor for liquids with properties similar to water. The measurement principle of Escort's WLS is capacitive, relying on the dielectric permittivity of the medium; in this case, it measures the level of non-aggressive liquids such as water, aqueous solutions, liquid fertilizers, etc. Materials in contact with the measured liquid include aluminum alloy (AD-31) and polyacetal (PA-6). | Escort's high-precision water level sensors ("WLS" or "ALS", also referred to as "gauges" or "sensors") are designed to determine the fill level of water in containers, tanks, and storage vessels.

You should clean the sensor tubes—preferably by blowing them out through the drainage holes using compressed air. | You should clean the sensor tubes—preferably by blowing them out through the drainage holes using compressed air. | ||
If this error occurred after the sensor | If this error occurred after the start of operation of the sensor, it means that most likely these impurities got into the sensor tubes from the container and in this case it is also needed to ensure that the tank itself doesn't contain any contaminations. Clean the container, if necessary. Note that an ALS installed outside a contaminated container may function correctly, but the same sensor installed in such container may generate this error code. | ||
