of 0.5 to 10 seconds (media Flow and level detection is accomplished by using a
dependent) high-resolution thermal differential technique. The sensor
Level switch response time consists of a pair of matched Resistance Temperature
Detectors (RTD’s). One RTD is self-heated using a
of 0.1 to 1 second of wetting (media
dependent) constant DC current. The other RTD is unheated and
provides an accurate process temperature reference. The
CE, CENELEC and CSA approvals
thermal differential created between the reference and
the heated RTD pair is a function of the density and/or
velocity of the media with which the sensor is in contact.
The sensor and wetted parts are of durable 316L
stainless steel, all welded construction with no moving
parts. The switch is easy to install and adjust, giving
reliable, low maintenance performance in the most
demanding applications.
