Product catalog summary
Overview
The Introtek Point Level Detector (PLD) is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive ultrasonic sensor designed for liquid level detection. It is known for its reliability, accuracy, and repeatability, making it suitable for critical applications where safety is paramount. The PLD is user-friendly, compact, and requires no calibration, supported by a three-year warranty.

Technology
The PLD utilizes patented pulse-type ultrasonic technology, which offers reliable liquid level or air detection. This technology reduces variables affecting accuracy compared to continuous-wave ultrasound. The device is dry coupled, eliminating the need for coupling gel, and provides a digital output signal for precise liquid level depiction.

Features
  • Off-the-shelf usability with various plastic containers and vessels.
  • Customized electronic options available upon request.
  • Simple uni-body construction with no moving parts, factory-calibrated and maintenance-free.
  • High noise immunity to EMI and RFI.
  • Easy mounting and removal.

Applications
The PLD is versatile, used in medical equipment and processes such as fluid and chemical handling, laboratory instrumentation, chromatography, biotech, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical diagnostics, reagent production, food and beverage production, and waste containment.

Functional Specifications
  • Supply Voltage: 5 VDC, 12 VDC, with a 24 VDC option available.
  • Supply Current: 15 mA without LED; 24 mA with LED.
  • Logic Output: CMOS levels, delivering a "high" output signal when fluid is detected.
  • Operating Temperature: +41° to +140° F (+5° to +60° C).
  • Humidity: 0% to 95% Non-Condensing.
  • Repeatability: ±0.5%.

Options
An optional LED indicator is available, which illuminates to indicate fluid presence. Custom OEM designs are also offered.

Certifications
For optimal configuration, contact an Introtek Application Specialist.
