Point level measurement with conductive level switches

Conductive sensors are used in conductive liquids. The probe detects the product resistance when immersed. The very small alternating current that then flows is measured by the integrated electronics and converted into a corresponding switching signal. The switching signal is determined by the mounting position or the length of the respective probe. Applications can be found in all areas of industrial measurement technology, e.g. in overflow protection, pump control or dry run protection.

The advantages

Conductive level sensors provide reliable, maintenance-free point level detection thanks to their simple and robust construction.

VEGAKON: Proven level detection

Measuring principle and applications
The instruments work according to the conductive measuring principle and are used in conductive liquids. The probe detects the product resistance when being immersed. A low alternating current flows which is detected by the integrated electronics and converted into a respective switching signal. The switching signal is determined via the mounting position or the length of the respective probe. The easy and robust construction of the sensors offers a maintenance free and reliable level detection in all areas of industrial measurement technique. Typical applications are e.g. overfill protection, pump control or dry run protection.

Conductive probes EL: Flexible determination of the switching point

Measuring principle and application
The instruments are used for level detection in conductive liquids. When the electrode is immersed, the product resistance is evaluated through the connected VEGATOR signal conditioning instrument. A low alternating current flows which is detected by VEGATOR and converted into a respective switching signal. The switching signal is determined via the mounting position or the length of the respective probe. The easy and robust construction of the sensors offers a maintenance free and reliable level detection in all areas of industrial measurement technique. Typical applications are e.g. overfill protection, pump control or dry run protection.
