Systems and methods for detecting lever locking positions on liquid level controllers

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instructions to be executed on one or more processors of a system for detecting lever locking positions on a liquid level controller, the instructions when executed causing the one or more processors to:

• detect presence of a magnetic field produced by a feedback element of a sensor, the presence of the magnetic field being detected using a sensing element of the sensor and the sensor being coupled to a lever locking mechanism of the liquid level controller, wherein the sensing element includes normally closed contacts;
• cause the normally closed contacts to open if the presence of the magnetic field is detected;
• determine that the lever locking mechanism is in a locked position if the presence of the magnetic field is detected;
• determine that the lever locking mechanism is in an unlocked position if the presence of the magnetic field is not detected;
• generate a signal to open an electrical circuit to indicate that the lever locking mechanism is in the unlocked position;
• and
• provide the determined locked or unlocked position of the lever locking mechanism to a user.

A system for detecting lever locking positions on a liquid level controller, the system comprising:

• a sensor coupled to a lever locking mechanism of the liquid level controller, the sensor including a sensing element and a feedback element, wherein the sensing element includes normally closed contacts;
• and
• a device coupled to the sensor, the device including a memory having instructions for execution on one or more processors, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
• use the sensing element to detect a magnetic field produced by the feedback element;
• cause the normally closed contacts to open if the presence of the magnetic field is detected;
• determine that the lever locking mechanism is in a locked position if the presence of the magnetic field is detected;
• determine that the level locking mechanism in in an unlocked position if the presence of the magnetic field is not detected;
• generate a signal to open an electrical circuit to indicate that the lever locking mechanism is in the unlocked position;
• and
• provide the determined locked or unlocked position of the lever locking mechanism to a user.
