FAQs of Universal Level Sensor:
Q: How does the Universal Level Sensor operate for liquid tank measurement?
A: The sensor utilizes ultrasonic or capacitive technology to continuously detect the liquid level within storage tanks. It converts these readings into analog (4-20mA/0-5V) or digital (RS485 Modbus) signals, which are then sent to your monitoring system for real-time tracking and process management.
Q: What types of liquids and environments is this sensor suitable for?
A: Designed for water, oil, chemicals, and other industrial liquids, the sensor is corrosion resistant and suitable for use in harsh environments, including storage tanks and process vessels. Its robust constructionavailable in stainless steel or engineering plasticensures compatibility with a broad range of fluids.
Q: Where can the Universal Level Sensor be installed?
A: It can be mounted on the top or side of liquid storage tanks depending on application requirements. Its IP65-rated enclosure, with optional IP68 upgrade, provides reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor industrial installations.
Q: When should I consider upgrading to IP68 protection?
A: Upgrade to IP68 protection if your installation environment involves direct water exposure, submersion, or extremely harsh or outdoor conditions. IP68 provides enhanced sealing against moisture and dust, ensuring continued sensor performance in the most demanding settings.
Q: What benefits does the sensor provide over traditional level switches?
A: This sensor delivers continuous, high-resolution measurements (with 1 mm resolution and 1% F.S. accuracy), rapid response time under 1 second, and supports remote monitoring through analog/digital outputs. It reduces maintenance needs and enhances process optimization compared to typical point-level switches.
Q: How can the universal level sensor be integrated with existing monitoring systems?
A: With its selectable 4-20mA, 0-5V, and RS485 Modbus outputs, the sensor easily integrates with most industrial controllers, PLCs, and SCADA systems. Optional interfaces and wireless modules further expand its connectivity for modern automation needs.
Q: What is the installation process for this sensor?
A: Installation is straightforward: choose a suitable top or side mounted location, secure the sensor as per guidelines, connect via the provided 2-meter (extendable) cable to your monitoring system, and configure the output as required. Minimal maintenance is required post-installation.
