SSI Technologies - Application Note DT-AN5 TM Digital Fluid Trac (DFT 110) Multi-Unit Drum Gauge Product Overview Product Features Press and release Refresh/Select to update Low Level Multiple Selectable Units: 15, 30, 55 gallons or the level reading and select Warning 57, 114, 208 liters display units Display Resolution: +/- 0.5 gallon or +/- 1 liter* Accuracy: +/-2.5% (1.5 gal. or 6 liters) of full scale volume (55 gal / 208 liter setting) * Automatic Shutoff Prolonging Battery Life NEMA 4 Packaging Static Display Useful for Usage Consumption Calculations: The static level reading can be used for manual rate calculations i.e. daily or weekly consumption. Low Level Warning Light: A red LED will flash once every second when the volume is at 10% or below the maximum volume. Easy to install: Digital Fluid-Trac DFT-110 has no components to protrude into the drum. Product Description Standard: Fits 2 NPT or NPS opening Dead Band: 6 from top of barrel when using the Digital Fluid-Trac Model DFT-110 multi unit drum optional adaptor level gauge is a cost competitive non-contact liquid level drum gauge. The DFT-110 drum gauge was More Reliable: No components to chemically corrode inside liquid media. designed for usage on ANSI MH2-2004 vertical drums ( 32 inch depths). The DFT-110 drum gauge Chemical compatibility: Digital Fluid-Trac allows the user to easily select between the following DFT-110 drum gauge works with a wide variety vertical drum settings: of media such as water, waste water, motor oil, hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel. 15 gallon * Outside of stated dead band. 30 gallon The Digital Fluid-Trac is NOT intended for use with 55 gallon gasoline or other volatile liquids that produce a vapor pressure under normal operating temperature (0C - 57 liter 50C). 114 liter 208 liter th SSI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The Digital Fluid-Trac DFT-110 has a LCD which displays the liquid level pictorially as well as in Displaying the DFT-110 Setting gallon (or liter) units. The display shows the level reading from the last time the Refresh/Select button was pressed. a) Press and hold the Refresh/Select button down for 7 seconds. The When the Refresh/Select button is pressed and drum size will be displayed.
