7250V Digital Flex Stik Sensor Data Sheet
7250 Series 
Flexible PVDF Low Voltage Magnetostrictive 
Sensor with Serial Communications
The 7250V Digital Stik takes eld proven 
magnetostrictive sensing technology 
and packages it in an exclusive compact 
design for greater reliability and easier 
installation and mounting. It is ideal for 
liquid level, interface level and measuring 
temperature in a variety of liquid media 
found in any size tank.
The 7250V Digital Stik combines low 
power consumption with a patented high 
resolution design. It requires only 5 volts 
DC making it ideal for mobile, battery 
operated and wireless applications. 
The system has been designed to meet 
EPA Leak Detection and API Inventory 
Monitoring requirements and has 
been approved for use in hazardous 
environments.
The sensor’s electronics are SMT 
components and integrated into a 5/8” 
diameter sensing tube. This breakthrough 
design eliminates the bulky electronics 
enclosure at the top of the sensor and 
offers greater options for insertion and 
mounting.
Sensors are available in exible and 
semi-exible PVDF (polyvinylidene 
uoride) in lengths up to 70 feet. It’s Ideal 
for use in tall tanks or installations where 
overhead room is limited. PVDF material 
provides an excellent option for monitoring 
chemicals not compatible with stainless 
steel.
The 7250 communicates through a 
single signal. The data is transmitted via 
asynchronous serial communications 
and is offered with serial protocol options 
including an ASCII format. There are 
other options available to OEMs for use 
in developing a communications interface 
with the probe. The patented design 
allows for very high resolution on a low 
power budget. The resolution of the 7250 
is 0.0001” with a linearity of 0.01% (See 
specications).
Factory Mutual (FM) approved as 
Intrinsically Safe for use in ethylene, 
propane, gasoline, and many other 
applications (See specications). The 
7250 has been approved to the following 
standards:
CSA  C22.2 Nos. 25,142,157 and 213
FM  3600, 3610, 3611 and 3810
Cenelec EN 50014, 50020 and 50284
The 7250 has an inherently lower cost 
design which results in savings. It provides 
the same performance and reliability 
as sensors that consume more power. 
Combining low power requirements with 
high resolution provides the ultimate 
performance and reliability.
