4.1 Description
This instrument is designed to detect limit levels of
liquids. For this purpose the sensor is equipped with a
V-shaped glass-tip. The model is also ideally suited for
level control, particularly in applications requiring high
precision. The measurement principle is independent of
the colour, refractive index, density, conductance and
dielectric constant of the liquid.
Integrated electronics include limit sensing and self-
calibration. The output is an open-collector pnp-transistor.
4.2 Instrument design
The sensor is a one-piece device consisting of a mechanical connection which depends
on the type of sensor, and integrated electronics built into a stainless steel housing. The
measuring length, ML, to the sealing face is always 24 mm.
