Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information about the M&C TechGroup's liquid alarm sensors, specifically the KS3 and its EX variants. These sensors are designed for detecting minimal liquid quantities in gas sample conditioning systems, ensuring protection for downstream analysis instruments.

Specifications
The KS3 sensors are available in several versions, including KS3 EX, KS3 EX PEEK, KS3 EX PEEK SS, and KS3 EX SS. They are suitable for both non-conductive and conductive media and feature a rugged aluminum enclosure. The EX versions are explosion-proof according to ATEX for zone 1 and have an extended operating temperature range of -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F).

Application
The KS3 sensors replace the previous KS2 model and are used to monitor gas cooling and condensate drain-off devices. They provide reliable signaling of liquid penetration, preventing downtime and costly repairs. In case of an alarm, the sample gas pump power is switched off, or a solenoid valve is idled.

Technical Details
The sensors operate on capacitive measurement principles and include an integrated pre-amplifier. They connect to external electronic controllers via 2- or 3-wire systems. The sensors are designed to attract liquid droplets directly to the active sensor surface, ensuring rapid alarm activation.

Mounting and Installation
The sensors are mounted using a clamping attachment in a vertical position with the opening facing upwards. They can be integrated into universal filters or flow chambers.

Technical Data
For non-EX areas, the sensors have a maximum pressure of 2 bar abs and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. For EX areas, the maximum pressure is 11 bar abs, with a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C. The sensors have a liquid alarm limit of 1.5 ml and are constructed with materials like PTFE, Chemraz, and SS 316Ti.

Power and Connectivity
The sensors require a power supply of 8-12 VDC and connect via a standard 1.5 m cable. They have a protection rating of IP 54 and are evaluated using electronic controllers FA1.1 or FA1.4 for non-EX areas and KFA6-SR2-Ex1W for EX areas.

Conclusion
The M&C TechGroup's KS3 liquid alarm sensors offer robust and reliable solutions for monitoring liquid penetration in gas sample conditioning systems, with specific models designed for hazardous environments.

Embracing Challenge Liquid alarm sensor KS3 / KS3 EX, KS3 EX PEEK, KS3 EX PEEK SS, KS3 EX SS for non-conductive and conductive media Special Features ■ Sure detection even of minimal liquid quantities ■ Can be integrated into M&C-universal filters and flow chamber ■ Explosion proof version according to ATEX for zone 1 ■ Rugged aluminium enclosure ■ Extended operating temperature range of -20 °C to 50°C (—4 °F to 122 °F) for EX versions Application The liquid alarm sensor type KS3... is an adequate replacement for the previous KS2... model. The KS3... has a rugged aluminium enclosure. Additionally, the operating temperature range for the KS3 EX versions has been extended to -20 °C up to 50°C (~-4 °F to 122 °F) in connection with the renewed Type Examination Certificate. Liquid alarm sensors are used in gas sample conditioning systems for monitoring gas cooling and condensate drain-off devices in order to provide protection for downstream analysis instruments. The monitoring devices KS3 / KS3 EX versions signal reliably the penetration of non conductive (e.g. alcohol) and conductive (e.g. water) liquid in the event of cooling or condensate drain-off equipment being defective, thus avoiding expensive down time as well as high repair costs for analysis instruments. In the event of an alarm, power for the sample gas pump must be switched off or a solenoid valve must be switched idle in the sample conditioning system. directly to the active sensor surface. Even the smallest liquid droplets will trigger a sure and rapid alarm. The sensors are mounted with the 16 mm 0 stainless steel body in the GL-25 connector of the universal filter F..-..-D or the condensate pot TG1 or in the flow chamber LS/KS. Description The M&C liquid sensors KS3 / KS3 EX versions work on the principle of capacitive measurement and is suitable for non-conductive and conductive media. A pre-amplifier is integrated in the sensor housing and is connected with the necessary external electronic controller via 2- resp. 3-wire. For KS3 the required electronic controller is available in various versions, FA1.1; FA1.4 and is described in the separate data sheet 9.5. The M&C liquid sensors KS3 EX, KS3 EX PEEK, KS3 EX PEEK SS and KS3 EX SS for use in hazardous areas and media should only be used in connection with electronic controller WE77.Ex1 or KFA6-SR2-Ex1W. The M&C liquid sensors KS3 / KS3 EX versions are constructed in such a way that any droplets of liquid in the sample gas are attracted Technical specifications and illustrations are without obligation, subject to modifications. 05.18 - 1.01.00 M&C TechGroup Germany GmbH • Rehhecke 79 • 40885 Ratingen • Germany [email protected] • www.mc-techgroup.com • Fon +49 2102 935-0 • Fax +49 2102 935-111
