hps+ ultrasonic level sensors-3

Description For fill level measurements of aggressive media and in overpressure the ultrasonic transducers of the new hps+ sensors are now fitted out - as standard - with a PTFE film. It is sealed with a FFKM O-ring against the housing made of 1.4571 stainless steel or PVDF. This ensures a high degree of resistance to aggressive media. Fill level measurement in tanks The hps+ sensors can be used for fill level measurement under normal pressure or in tanks and containers with an overpressure of up to 6 bar. Its special software filters also allow its use in containers filled from above or that have...

2 switching outputs in pnp switching technology 1 analogue output with an additional pnp switching output The hps+ sensors with switching output have three operating modes:  Single switching point Two-way reflective barrier Window mode Two three-colour LEDs always show the current state of the switching outputs or the analogue output. With TouchControl all configuration can be done right at the sensor. The easily legible three-digit LED display continually shows the current distance value and automatically switches between millimetre and centimetre displays. Setting a switching or analogue output...
