Product catalog summary
Application and Intended Use
The sensor is designed for continuous level monitoring in metallic vessels up to 3 meters high. It is suitable for adhesive, pasty, foaming media, and media with conductivity from 50 µS/cm, serving as a hygienic alternative to float sensors.
Hygienic Design and Process Connection
The Negele CLEANadapt system ensures a hygienic, gap-free installation that is easy to sterilize. It includes process connections like G1/2" and G1" hygienic or Tri-Clamp, with adapters for various standards. The system is EHEDG-certified, compliant with 3-A standards, and all contact materials have FDA approval. The sensor is made of stainless steel and supports CIP/SIP cleaning up to 143 °C for 120 minutes.
Special Features and Advantages
The sensor features a 4-wire system with a 4...20 mA output signal and requires no adjustment after media change due to its potentiometric measurement principle. It allows individual parameter adjustment via PC interface and offers flexible mounting options.
Specifications
Rod lengths can reach up to 3000 mm for certain models. Process connection options include Thread, Tri-Clamp, and Varivent. The sensor operates under a maximum process pressure of 16 bar and a temperature range from -10 to 140 °C, providing high accuracy and reproducibility with a response time of less than 100 ms.
Functional Principle
The sensor uses a potentiometric measuring principle, analyzing the voltage ratio between the electrode rod and the tank wall, ensuring reliable measurements even with foam or adhesions.
Electrical Connection and Parameterization
The sensor supports a supply voltage of 18...36 V DC and is protected under IP 69 K. It offers analog output signals and allows parameter adjustments using PC-based software and an MPI-200 programming adapter.
Standards and Guidelines
The sensor complies with electromagnetic compatibility guidelines and is CE certified. It is not subject to the WEEE directive and should be disposed of through specialized recycling companies.
Accessories
Available accessories include PVC cables with M12 connections, programming adapters, and connection cables for remote versions.
Order Codes
Order codes specify different sensor versions, including rod lengths, process connections, material certificates, mounting positions, output signals, and other configurations.

Specification | Additional Information Specification Functional principle The potentiometric measuring principle measures the change in the voltage ratio between the electrode rod of the sensor and the metallic wall of the filled tank. An electric flow field arises in the medium due to the electrical conductivity of the medium and its capacitive properties. This gives rise to a voltage ratio that is proportional to the immersed part of the rod. Because only the ratio of the voltages is considered, the properties of the medium, in particular the electrical conductivity, do not enter into the measurement...
