Product catalog summary
Function Principle: The NSL-M-00 sensor uses a potentiometric measuring principle to measure the voltage ratio between the electrode rod and the metallic wall of a tank. This method is effective for continuous level measurement in metallic vessels up to 3 meters high, particularly for adhesive, pasty, and foaming media. The sensor is designed to work with media having a minimum conductivity of 50 µS/cm.
Applications: The sensor is suitable for use in balance tanks, fillers, storage vessels, and pressurized vessels. It serves as a hygienic alternative to float sensors.
Hygienic Design and Process Connection: The sensor features a hygienic design with the CLEANadapt build-in system, ensuring a gap-free and sterilizable installation. It offers various process connections, including G1/2", G1" hygienic threads, and Tri-Clamp options, all conforming to EHEDG and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
Features: The sensor is compact and robust, with a 2-wire system providing a 4...20 mA output signal. It requires no adjustment after media changes due to its potentiometric measurement principle. The sensor head is twistable for easy adjustment, and it can be mounted from the top, bottom, or side of vessels.
Specifications: The sensor rod length ranges from 20 to 3000 mm, with a maximum process pressure of 16 bar. It operates within a temperature range of -10 to 140 °C and supports CIP/SIP cleaning up to 143 °C for 120 minutes. The sensor is made of stainless steel and PEEK, with FDA-compliant materials.
Electrical Connection: The sensor operates on a 19...36 V DC supply, with an M12-plug connection and IP 69 K protection class. It provides an analog 4...20 mA output signal.
Parameterization: The sensor can be configured using the MPI-200 programming adapter and PC software. Parameters such as signal limits, error signals, and level measurement settings can be adjusted.
Cleaning and Maintenance: The sensor should not be exposed to direct pressure washer nozzles on electrical connections. It must be transported and stored in dry, dust-free conditions, avoiding mechanical shock and vibration.
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.

An electric flow field arises in the medium due to the 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 of 50 µS/cm and higher, do not enter into the measurement result. The sensor also provides information on the immersion situation of the electrode rod in the medium by means of a second, patent-pending measurement system. This system analyzes electrical resonance properties to detect foam and suppress it in the results, and to reliably prevent erroneous measurements due to adhesions.

Note ·· A list of the parameter settings in the level switch is supplied with the device. These parameter settings and those changed by the user can be printed out in the software using the MPI-200 programming adapter. ·· When making settings, note the help texts in the MPI software. They provide useful information on changing the selected parameter. The default setting of the NSL-M level switch is for operation with aqueous media without requiring special adjustments. In exceptional cases involving highly critical media or special tank contours (with internal structures such as a pipe), it may...
