Continuous level sensor for liquid level measurement

LINEAR V-F

Continuous level sensor for liquid level measurement with 5, 10, 20 mm resolution, PVC, PP or PVDF versions, outputs including potentiometric, 4-20mA and 0-5 / 0-10V, up to 5 m length and IP65 protection.

Introduction

Liquid level measurement in plastic material configurations calls for a sensor that keeps the measuring principle simple and the output options flexible. This family uses a magnetic float moving along the guiding rod to actuate a chain of resistors and reed contacts, providing continuous level measurement with 5, 10, 20 mm resolution.
 
The design supports reliable operation with limited mechanical complexity because the float is the only moving element. Versions are available in PVC, PP and PVDF, with lengths up to 5 m, maximum working pressure up to 6 Bar and standard working temperature up to 130°C, depending on material and configuration.
 
Integration into control systems is supported by several output versions: potentiometric signal, 4-20mA analog output, 0-5 / 0-10V analog output and (0)4-20mA analog output with digital display. Minimum ingress protection (IP) rating is IP65.

Features

Potentiometric measuring principle

A magnetic float actuates a chain of resistors and reed contacts placed inside the guiding rod.

Output versions

The family includes LC potentiometric output, LCT 4-20mA output, LCTV 0-5 / 0-10V output and LCO display versions.

Electrical connections

Electrical output options include DIN 43650 IP65 plug, M12x1 plug, brass cable-gland IP68 and polyamide cable-gland IP67 variants, depending on sensor type.

Process connections

Threaded and flanged connections are listed, including G parallel UNI 228/1, conical UNI 7/1 and conical NPT thread options.

Built-in temperature sensor

For LC type only, a temperature sensor can be installed at the bottom of the rod on request, with PT100, PT1000, PTC or NTC options.
