FILLING LEVEL SENSORS connection cable device DC wire colors: bn = brown (1), bu = blue (3), bk = black (4) Note: To achieve full pressure resistance, the thread should engage approximately 20mm. It may be necessary to attach a threaded flange to the container wall. The thread is sealed either with hemp and a sealing paste acc. to DIN-DVGW or, for greater chemical resistance, with Teflon sealing tape. When screwing in, the specified thread torque must not be exceeded. This data sheet only contains the available standard variants. For other output / connection variants, we kindly ask that you...

level detection probe length 500mm1000mm 1600mm P process pressures up to 20bar P process temperature up to +150°C description The electrode probes from ipf electronic are used in combination with the corresponding filling level relays for conductive limit level detection in electrically conductive filling materials. The electrode rods are fastened to a process connection, whereby the rods may have a length of up to 1600mm. To differentiate between different filling levels, the electrode rods can be shortened to the desired length. With up to five contact electrodes, multiple tasks can be fulfilled...
