Product catalog summary
Functional Principle: The NSS-157 sensor operates on a potentiometric measurement principle, detecting voltage changes between the measurement rod and the metallic pipe or tank wall. This method is unaffected by the media's electric conductivity, ensuring accurate level detection even with adhesive substances.
Range of Application: The sensor is ideal for level control in pastes and adhesive media, level monitoring in metallic pipes and vessels, and product monitoring in pipes. It requires a minimum conductivity of 1 µS/cm.
Hygienic Design and Process Connection: The sensor features a hygienic, sterilizable design with options for CIP cleaning up to 100 °C and a high-temperature version for cleaning up to 143 °C. It is made entirely of stainless steel, conforms to FDA standards, and meets the 3-A Sanitary Standard 74-06.
Features: The sensor includes an integrated evaluation circuit with a 4-20 mA output signal, defined PG-position, and a defined empty signal. It offers options for high-temperature versions and various electrical connections.
Specifications: The sensor supports a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar, with materials including stainless steel and PEEK. It operates within a temperature range of -10 to 100 °C, with a resolution of less than 0.1% of the rod length and a response time of less than 50 ms.
Mechanical Installation: Proper installation requires good electrical contact with the pipe or vessel, avoiding isolating materials. The sensor should be mounted from the bottom in pipes and can be installed from any direction in vessels.
Electrical Connection: The sensor requires a shielded and grounded power supply cable. It is shipped calibrated, with no further calibration typically necessary. The alarm point should be set according to the application requirements.
Standards and Guidelines: The sensor complies with electromagnetic compatibility guidelines and is CE-labeled. It is not subject to the WEEE directive and should be recycled through specialized companies.
Transport and Storage: The sensor should be stored in a dry, dust-free environment, protected from corrosive media and mechanical shock, with a storage temperature range of -40 to 85 °C.

Within the media there is an electric flow field, based on electric conductivity and capacitive characteristics. The voltage ratio caused by this field is proportional to the wetted part of the rod. Because just voltage amplification will be considered, the characteristics of the media, especially electric conductivity, will have no influence on the measurement result. A second measurement principle allows the NSL sensor to recognize a dryrun condition. This eliminates measurement error caused by adhesive media. Conventional usage · Not suitable for applications in explosive areas. · Not suitable for applications in security-relevant equipment (

Mechanical Installation | Electrical Connection | InstallationMechanical installation ■ Attention: Do not shorten the rod of the level probe! ■ To guarantee a trouble-free function of the measurement point give attention to a good electrical contacting of the process connection of the level probe to the pipe or vessel. ■ Do not use any isolating sealing materials like Teflon or similar! ■ When installing into a pipe the level probe has to be mounted from the bottom side! In this case use the Negele build-in system type EHG. The length of the rod is optimized for these build-in systems. ■ When...
