Description

The level measuring device LSP05X utilises the potentiometric meas-urement principle and can be used in all medias that have a minimum conductivity of 1 µS/cm.From the low resistive measuring rod a high frequent current is fed through the media to the tank wall. The voltage between the tip of the rod and the tank wall is measured. This output voltage is proportional to the tank fi lling level.The measurement is unaffected by temperature and adhesive media. The instrument is ideal for measurements in small wessels with tough, pasty or strong adhesive media, such as ketchup, honey, and tooth- paste. The integrated electronics provide a 4...20 mA output. The LSP has automatic recognition of top/buttom mounting position. Even angled installation is possible. In a non-conductive tank such as a plastic tank a reference rod must be installed. Please observe that a non-linear conductivity in the media will affect the accuracy of the measurement.A version with separate rod sensor and electronics is available for applications where the ambient temperature at the measuring point exceeds 60°C. Due to the high temperature limit the LSP050 is well suitable for CIP and SIP processes.The hygienic installation is guaranteed by using one of the hygienic weld-in sleeves.
