Level Sensors Technique & Application Sensors Microwave meter The MFP 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...

Level Sensors Technique & Application Sensors/ Terminology Opto-Sensors UF... 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 ntormal conditions. The chemical compatibility and technical suitability of...

Level Sensors Technique & Application Terminology Assured operating distance sa Switching current Current consumption 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. This current gives the maximum longterm current for the switching output of the sensor at an ambient temperature of 25 ºC and ohmic load. At an elevated ambient temperature, the current load capability decreases. For analog outputs, the boundary values...

Level Sensors Technique & Application Installation and operation Collocation Instructions for mounting The sensor tip of short level sensors installed from the side must be located inside the container. To prevent buildup, it is recommended to install these sensors at a tilted angle of approx. 20°. With rod-style sensors, make sure that the tip is not affected by lateral forces. Such forces may occur, for example, when using sensors near filling openings or mixers. Only use materials for housing and sealing that are suitable for the respective application. When collocating the sensors, a minimum...
