Liquid level sensors tilted to avoid
limescale
Horizontal mount liquid level sensors from Gentech International can be mounted at a 45deg angle to eradicate the problem of limescale build up on the sensor hinge and so avoid costly modifications.
Horizontal mount liquid level sensors from switching, sensing and control solutions specialist Gentech International can be mounted at a 45deg angle to eradicate the problem of limescale build up on the sensor hinge and avoid costly modification of the sensor Instead, insertion at 45deg keeps the hinge clear of the liquid without inhibiting sensor performance

Reed-based sensor activated by magnetic field
This Proximity Sensor is a reed-based sensor activated by the presence of a magnetic field and designed for SMD mounting.
The Gentech LS4 sensor is of glass filled polypropylene construction, with an operating temperature range of -30degC to +110degC, while the LS5 is constructed in glass reinforced polyphenylene with an operating temperature range of -30degC to +130degC.
Both have WRC approval for use in hot and cold potable water applications.
Suitable for high and low level sensing, the sensors can be fitted internally via M12, M16 or 1/4in NPT or externally by means of the Gentech compression grommet system or 1/2in NPT, and feature normally open or normally closed operation by rotating through 180deg.
