Level Controller Topic: Use Iron Tank Without Using Ground Electrode

 

FAQ No. FAQ00853

 

Question

 

Is it acceptable to use a steel tank as the ground electrode and not use the 61F Level Controller’s ground electrode?

 


Answer

There is no problem with connecting the ground electrode line to the tank, but in some cases the interior of the tank is coated with an insulating coating, so be sure to check actual operation.


Do not use the tank as the ground electrode near noise sources such as inverters, which may cause improper operation.
