Product catalog summary
Application and Intended Use
These sensors are designed for limit detection of aqueous and conductive media in vessels and pipes. The conductivity required depends on the evaluation device used: 1 μS/cm with external units like VNV series or ZNV-Z, and 10 μS/cm with internal units like MNV-1C or MNV-M. Applications include fluid limit detection, full and empty alarms in tanks, product monitoring, pump protection, level control, and overfill protection in dosing systems.
Hygienic Design and Process Connection
The sensors ensure hygienic installation with the Negele EMZ-132 weld-in sleeve or EHG-.../1/2" system, featuring elastomer-free sealing and compliance with FDA regulations. They are made of stainless steel and PEEK, with a PFA coating, and support CIP/SIP cleaning up to 143 °C for 120 minutes. They comply with the 3-A Sanitary Standard 74-06.
Special Features and Options
Features include defined cable entry positions, availability with or without integrated level transmitters, and various electrical connections. Rods can be shortened and twisted, and a high-temperature version is available for processes up to 140 °C.
Specifications
The sensors have a crevice-free process connection with a torque of 5-10 Nm and a G1/2" thread size. They are made from materials like 1.4301 and 1.4404 stainless steel, PEEK, and PFA, with a surface quality of Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. Operating pressure is up to 10 bar, with temperature ranges for different models specified.
Electrical Connection and Configuration
Various connection options are available, including cable glands, plug connections, and fixed cables. The MNV level transmitter offers selectable sensitivity and switching functions, with configurations for full and empty alarms.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation requires avoiding excessive torque and ensuring good electrical connections. The sensors should be mounted in metal tanks or pipes, and rods can be cut to required lengths. Cleaning and maintenance instructions emphasize avoiding direct pressure washer contact with electrical connections.
Standards and Compliance
The sensors comply with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EC and are CE marked. They are not subject to the WEEE directive and should be recycled through specialized companies.
Accessories and External Evaluation
External evaluation electronics are available for additional functionalities, with options for relay or active output configurations.

SENSORS FOR FOOD AND BIOPHARMA. Level Sensor with G1/2" Thread Hygienic Application/intended use ·· Limit detection of aqueous and conductive media in vessels and pipes with minimum conductivity. The conductivity depends on the evaluation device: 1 μS/cm when using external evaluation units, e.g. VNV series or ZNV-Z, and 10 μS/cm when using the internal evaluation unit MNV-1C or MNV-M. Application examples ·· Limit detection of fluids in vessels (where the sensor is built in from the side) or pipes ·· Full alarm in vessels and tanks where the sensor is built in from the top ·· Empty alarm in vessels and tanks where the sensor is built in from the bottom ·· Product monitoring in pipes ·· Pump/dry-running protection ·· Level control in tanks ·· Overfill protection in dosing systems Hygienic design/process connection ·· Using the Negele EMZ-132 weld-in sleeve or the EHG-.../1/2" weld-in system ensures a hygienic and easily sterilizable installation situation with optimal flow properties. ·· Elastomer-free sealing system provides a connection without gaps and crevices (see CLEANadapt product information) ·· CIP/SIP cleaning up to 143 °C/120 minutes max. ·· All parts that have direct contact with the product comply with FDA regulations ·· Sensor made entirely of stainless steel and PEEK, coating made of PFA ·· Process connections, see CLEANadapt product information, e.g.: Tri-Clamp, dairy flange (DIN 11851), Varivent ... ·· Complies with 3-A Sanitary Standard 74-06 Special features/advantages ·· Defined position of the cable entry ·· Available with or without an integrated level transmitter ·· Different electrical connections available ·· Rods may be shortened and twisted as needed ·· Miniature edition, installation in pipes beginning at DN25 possible ·· Fully molded to avoid condensation Options/accessories ·· High-temperature version available (with 100-mm spacer; for use in processes with constant temperatures of up to 140 °C) ·· Fixed cable also available in other cable lengths NVS-161 Selection of the right sensor type ·· Coating For foamy, adhesive (e.g. yoghurt) and/or wetting media (e.g. alkaline solutions), we suggest using a sensor with a coated rod. Sensors with non-coated rods are only suitable for aqueous, non-adhesive and non-wetting media. ·· Temperature If a sensor with an integrated level transmitter MNV is needed, we suggest using the high-temperature version with a spacer if

Installation | Notices | Process Connections General installation ·· If necessary, cut the rods to the required lengths. In doing so, ensure that the compound between the rod and the thread connector is not strained excessively. If using coated rods, do not damage the insulation of the rod part that remains on the sensor. ·· Strip 5 mm of insulation off the tip of insulated rods (the length depends on the conductivity of the medium). ·· Screw the sensor into the sleeve and connect as shown in the wiring diagrams. Do not damage the coating when you mount the sensor in the sleeve. Mounting instructions...
