Abstract
A liquid level detection system for determining a liquid level includes a level sensor configured to be at least partially disposed in a liquid storage vessel and exposed to liquid. A first optoelectronic interface is operatively connected to the level sensor for providing power thereto. A second optoelectronic interface is operatively connected to the first optoelectronic interface. A fiber optic cable optically connects the first optoelectronic interface to the second optoelectronic interface to provide photonic power to the first optoelectronic interface and to transmit data from the first optoelectronic interface to the second optoelectronic interface.
