More informations
In conjunction with the FKE electrode relays, the conductive level switches of the FK10 series are used to detect the level of conductive liquids.
An alternating voltage is applied to an electrode insulated from the vessel If this electrode is wetted by the medium, a small current flows from the electrode through the medium to the vessel wall (for plastic vessels to a separate ground electrode). This current flow is detected by the electrode relay and output as a switching signal.
Typical applications
- for point level detection in vessels with conductive liquids
- full or empty message
- level control between two filling levels
- overflow safety
- dry-run protection
- vertical or horizontal installation possible
Advantages
- no mechanically moving parts
- independent of the specific weight of the medium
