Level Sensors Application notes Microwave meter The MFP and MFM level meter for continuous monitoring of various liquids allow measurement of the fill level in plastic or metal tanks of any size. The devices offer a high measurement precision. They work with numerous liquids such as water, oil or emulsions. Principle of measurement: The microwaves are “guided” along the rod – and are reflected at the surface of the medium. From this the sensor determines the fill level. No adjustment is necessary for various media. The devices are made of aluminium and AISI 316 Ti stainless steel and are suitable...

Application notes Resistance UFGS..., UFGS...Ex, URFG...Ex Medium (example) Opto-sensors UF../UR.. Optical sensors react to a change of the refraction index within the proximity of the sensor tip when being immersed into fluid. The sensor does not have to be adjusted. In rare cases, the container wall or particles within the fluid may reflect the light emitted by the sensor and thus interfere with the fluid detection. A trial run is recommended in such instances. The sensors are designed to be used with the respectively listed fluids under normal conditions. The chemical compatibility and technical...

Application notes Usable operating distance su The usable operating point is in the entire allowable temperature and voltage range is between 80% and 120% of the effective operating distance. Assured operating distance sa The assured operating point takes into account all the external influences, sample and media variances and is in the range from 0% to 72% of the rated operating distance point. Within this range a guaranteed switching is ensured. Switching point drift The operating distances are given for an ambient temperature of 23 °C. In the permissible temperature range the switching point...

Application notes flush free zone Switch-on impulse suppression EGE sensors have a switch-on impulse suppression that blocks the output during the switch-on phase, when the operational voltage is applied. Protection The protective system indicates the protection of the sensors against penetration of foreign bodies and water according to EN 60529. LED-Display EGE sensors with yellow light-emitting diodes indicate the switching status optically. Housing material The housing material determines the chemical resistance of the sensor against external influences. For special applications, other housing...

Application notesSealings The sealings used for our sensors are made of PTFE, NBR, FPM or AFM. For water applications with water temperatures up to 150 °C and with pressures less than 5 bar, EDPM O-rings must be used. If the temperatures exeed 100 °C or the pressures are higher special sealings are necessary (2). When ordering sensors for such applications, such special sealings must be ordered too. Druck / compressive strength Temperatur / temperature Instructions for operation Serial connection For the serial connection of two wire or three wire sensors the individual voltage drops are added...
