Optical liquid level switches improve reliability

Sensortechnics is launching a family of optical liquid level switches, adding to the company's existing range of liquid level products that consists of submersible level sensors and industrial pressure transmitters.

Sensortechnics’ miniature optical liquid level switches reliably detect the presence or absence of liquid using solid-state technology with no moving parts. They are available as basic switches, microprocessor-compatible TTL-output devices and high-power transistor-output versions capable of switching currents up to 800mA. These new liquid level switches offer different housing options, including cost-effective plastic polysulphone and rugged stainless steel versions for corrosive environments.

The new point-level sensors provide excellent media compatibility and are suitable for a wide range of applications.
