Operating Principles
--
Product (Non-conductive liquid) = Steady light and tone
Water (Conductive liquid) = Intermittent light and tone
To detect liquids, the Model 122M Mini Interface Meters use an infra-red beam and detector. When the probe enters a liquid the beam is refracted away from the detector which activates an audible tone and light. If the liquid is a non-conductive oil/product the signals are steady. If the liquid is conductive (water), the conductivity of the water completes a conductivity circuit. This overrides the infra-red circuit, and the tone and light are intermittent.
Both sensors use exactly the same zero point, giving accuracy as good as 1.0 mm or 1/200 ft. The high accuracy enables the sensors to detect the slightest sheen of oil on the surface of the water.

Hazardous Locations Use
--
The Model 122M Mini Interface Meter with cable has been approved by QPS for use in hazardous locations, Class I, Div 1, Groups C&D based on CSA Standards. It is also ATEX certified under directive 94/9/EC, as II 3 G Ex ic IIB T4 Gc.
The ground cable is a safety essential when the meter is used in potentially explosive environments. It also ensures that the electronics are properly protected.
