The Teragon LC2 monitors and controls the level of liquid nitrogen in dewars and cold traps. Its unattended operation keeps your cryogenic reservoir filled, automatically and reliably, without the hazard of manual transfers. The LC2 is designed to monitor liquid nitrogen at atmospheric pressure and its applications include cold traps, radiation detectors, cold fingers and cryopreservation.

The LC2 Controller maintains the liquid level between two user-defined setpoints. The setpoints are defined by placing two LS1 level sensors at the desired positions within the LN₂ reservoir. The LC2 will energize a solenoid valve when the lower sensor is no longer submerged in LN₂. Filling continues until the upper sensor becomes submerged.

The status of the LC2 is indicated by lights on the front panel of the controller. When the controller is turned on, the illuminated power switch glows red. If both sensors are plugged in and operating properly, the green 'SENSORS' LED is lit. While filling, the red 'SOLENOID' LED is lit. The solenoid can also be activated from the front panel using the MANUAL switch.

The LC2 has been designed so that either sensor will function as the high (or low) sensor. There is no need to determine which sensor is plugged into which jack. Simply position the sensors at the desired high and low setpoints and then plug the sensors into either connector on the back of the controller. Filling will begin when both sensors have become dry and continue until both sensors have become wet.

As a safety feature, the controller will not initiate (or continue) a fill operation if either sensor is disconnected or shorted. This prevents the controller from exhausting the LN₂ source in the event that a sensor becomes unplugged or damaged. The LC2's features include:

	Power, Solenoid and Sensor Indicators
	Manual Fill Override
	Small Size
	Low Cost
	Easy Installation
	1 Year Warranty
	Made in the USA

The LC2 controller comes with a power cord, solenoid cable, user manual and two LS1 sensors. All parts are covered by a 1 year warranty. The LC2 is a durable unit designed for years of reliable service. Inquiries regarding custom and OEM applications are welcome.
