Jr & Sr R3D Dials – LP 5909S02772 

Application
The Rochester Remote Ready Dial, R3D® – LP, is a magnetically-driven, Hall Effect compatible dial. Dials are utilized on stationary applications where direct reading plus an electrical signal to a remote fuel level monitor may be required. Models are available to fit all Rochester Junior, Senior and Snap-Onliquid-level gauges.

Rochester’s Hall Effect Module is designed to snap-fit into the recess in the Remote Ready Dial lens. Once installed, the module can provide ratiometric voltage output proportional to the liquid volume inside the tank.

General Information & Features
In the area of LP gas measurement, a magnetic drive feature is important because a magnetic drive allows a signal from the float mechanism inside the tank to be transmitted through a solid bulkhead.

The R3D® – LP dial is designed to allow a second magnetic coupling. This is a coupling from the R3D® – LP pointer magnet, through the sealed lens and into the Hall Effect Module.

Previous designs of magnetically driven dials that produce an electrical output signal had the disadvantages inherent in using variable resistors with a wiper arm contact. The magnetic connection of the Hall Effect sensor is more reliable than systems that depend on the sliding contact of variable resistor devices.

Hall Effect is a solid state technology with no moving contacts. It counts on the fact that a magnet bends the path of electrons moving through a semiconductor. The bending of the electrons can be detected and converted into an electrical signal.
