KUS Stainless Steel Immersion Tube Sensor Model S3 (0–190 Ohms) – Convenient screw-in tank sensor with 1 1/4" BSP thread
Make installation on your tank easier than ever before! The KUS Model S3 features a threaded head and is the ideal choice for all fuel and water tanks that already have a threaded opening or are equipped with a matching screw-in flange. Forget about the hassle of drilling screw holes—this sensor simply screws in securely and is completely leak-proof.
Equipped with proven, wear-free reed technology, the sensor delivers a stable European signal ranging from 0 to 190 ohms to your instrument panel.
📐 Measurement Instructions & Fit for Model S3:
For the S3 model, measure the effective length from the **top edge of the thread** to the end of the sensor tube. To determine the correct order length, use the following rule of thumb:
- Inner clear tank height minus 10 mm to 15 mm = your ideal sensor length.
- Mounting: The sender has a **1 1/4" BSP external thread** (approx. 41.9 mm outer diameter) and is screwed directly into the tank.
Advantages & Technical Highlights at a Glance:
- Ingeniously simple screw-in installation: Quick replacement and maximum leak-tightness without having to align drill holes. A matching O-ring seal is included in the scope of delivery.
- Wear-free reed contacts: The internal float glides up and down the stainless steel tube purely magnetically and without contact. This ensures an extremely smooth pointer display even in rough seas.
- Acid- and fuel-resistant: Made of saltwater-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel (V4A) —ideal for harsh marine environments as well as gasoline and diesel tanks.
- IP67 protection rating: Fully protected against moisture and splashing water in the cockpit or engine compartment.
- Practical cable length: The connection cable, permanently sealed to the sensor head, is approximately 45 cm long and provides sufficient slack for a secure connection in the engine or tank compartment.
🛠️ Accessory tip from Tenten-Boats:
Does your tank lack a compatible thread? Simply order the convenient KUS 5-hole flange / mounting adapter for the S3 submersible sensor right along with it. You’ll find the matching gauges in our KUS Onboard Instruments category.
