The new ESS extended liquid level sensor/sender from switching, sensing and control solutions specialists Gentech International is for critical applications requring precise level signalling.
In air the infrared beam is reflected internally by the polysulphone, indicating an absence of liquid.
When liquid reaches the sensor the light emitted is lost in the liquid due to the refractive index change between the casing and its exterior.
The sensor then indicates the presence of liquid.
Typical applications include food and beverage processing, pump control, swimming pools, radiators, industrial washing machines, tank level control, water treatment, vending machines and medical equipment.
Because the Gentech optical sensor has no moving parts, the lifetime of the sensor is extended and it can be used in a variety of liquids, while also being resistant to limescale build up.
