LV860 LEVEL SENSOR
1 - Description
Level Sensor LV860 is designed to monitor liquids, granules and powder.
It operates on the principle of electrical capacitance changes arising when an
electrode surrounded by air is immersed in the medium.
• Available either as a maximum or a minimum sensor.
• LED status indication
• Minimum switching
Normally the sensor is immersed and the LED indicates. As the level
drops below the sensor the LED extinguishes.
• Maximum switching
Normally the sensor is not immersed and the LED indicates. As the level
rises above the sensor the LED extinguishes.
• In the event of a short-circuit in the load circuit, the LED will extinguish.
• The LV860 in PTFE housing is suitable for foodstuffs and can be widely
used in the food processing industry.
