Why it is useful

Built for accurate fuel measurement in the toughest environments

LLS 4 delivers ±1% accuracy in fuel level measurement even in harsh operating conditions — from arctic cold chains to hot desert construction fleets — with IP69k resistance to jet washing.

±1% Measurement Accuracy

Main reduced error of ±1% across the full measurement range ensures precise fuel volume readings for accurate consumption reporting and theft detection.

IP69k Jet-Wash Protected

IP69k casing withstands high-pressure jet washing — making LLS 4 suitable for mining, agriculture, and heavy construction where vehicles are regularly pressure-washed.

RS-232 & RS-485 Interfaces

Dual serial interface support makes LLS 4 compatible with virtually all fleet telematics terminals — including Teltonika FMC125, FMB125, and Omnicomm terminals.

Use Cases

Where Omnicomm LLS 4
fits well

Install LLS 4 in any fuel tank where accurate level measurement, theft detection, and consumption reporting are required — from light commercial vehicles to heavy mining trucks.

  • Heavy truck and logistics fleets requiring fuel consumption tracking, refill verification, and theft detection.
  • Construction and mining equipment with large saddle tanks subject to regular pressure washing — IP69k protection essential.
  • Agriculture machinery including tractors, combines, and sprayers operating in extreme temperature environments.
  • Stationary diesel generators and standby power systems requiring remote fuel level monitoring.
  • Multi-sensor deployments on dual-tank vehicles — LLS 4 supports multiple sensors per RS-485 bus with unique network addresses.

FAQ

Common questions about Omnicomm LLS 4

The Omnicomm LLS 4 achieves a main reduced error of ±1% across its full measurement range (up to 3000 mm). This level of accuracy enables reliable detection of small fuel thefts, precise refuel volumes, and accurate consumption reporting across different tank geometries.
LLS 4 connects via RS-232 or RS-485 to any compatible telematics terminal. For Aether deployments, it pairs directly with the Teltonika FMC125 (4G, RS-232+RS-485) and FMB125 (2G, RS-232+RS-485). Up to 254 sensors can be daisy-chained on a single RS-485 bus with unique network addresses.
IP69k is the highest standard of dust and water protection — it withstands high-temperature, high-pressure jet washing (80°C, 80–100 bar). This is essential for construction machinery, mining vehicles, and agricultural equipment that are routinely pressure-washed. Standard IP67/IP68 sensors may fail under these conditions.
LLS 4 can be installed in most metal and plastic fuel tanks that use standard diesel, petrol, or mineral oil. It requires a Ø35 mm mounting hole at the deepest, most central point of the tank. The measuring piece must be cut to 20 mm less than the tank depth. It cannot be used with biofuel blends, methanol, ethanol, urea, or water.
Yes. Aether provides installation planning, sensor calibration using Omnicomm Configurator, and platform integration for LLS 4. Tank calibration requires 20+ data points filled in measured intervals — Aether technicians carry calibrated measuring vessels and handle the full calibration-to-platform setup process.
