Fill level probe with pendulum

electrodes for level controller

ELEKT-PEND

Characteristic features

• Conductive operating principle, electrolytic ll level measurement

• High reliability, safe evaluation set-up

• High grade stainless steel pendulum electrodes

• AC voltage signal evaluation, low AC sensing current

• Robust plastic housing

• Connection to Level controller WLSW-12V, WLSW-24V und WLS-

GEH230V

Areas of application

• Fill level probe for cisterns

• Industrial applications

• Agriculture

Application range

The probe is used for sensing the ll level at 4 stages in water or other

conductive liquids. The probe has ve hanging electrodes, which hang

out at different lengths inside the medium up to the switching point

of that stage. The hanging electrodes are in the form of corrosion

protected stainless steel weight (plumb), which are hung up with a

stainless steel rope. When the ll level in the container rises up to the

electrode, it gets wet and the presence of medium is registered due to

its conductivity.

Because of its exible constructional arrangement, the electrode

length can be individually set at desired switching points. The set

contains 10 m of stainless steel rope, so that each probe can be made

with over 2 m length.

Because of the hanging construction, contamination is prevented and

a reliable switching behaviour is also guaranteed in contaminated

media. Typical application areas which emerge out are e.g. as ll level

probe for water tanks or rain water cisterns .

OPERATION MANUAL Fill level probe with pendulum electrodes for level controller Application notes The fill level probe is meant for connection to the level controllers WLSW-12V, WLSW-24V und WLS-GEH230V , which performs the evaluation and provides two switch outputs through potential free relays. The device is not suitable for use in medical equipment or in swimming pools. The user has to ensure through suitable measures (e.g.

OPERATION MANUAL Fill level probe with pendulum electrodes for level controller Pass the insulated stainless steel rope through the holes in the spacer plate and insert into the sockets in housing from outside. Take care the ropes are straight and not cross each other. Pass on a plastic washer over the ropes so that it lies between the socket and terminal. Connection to the level controller (WLSW-12V, WLSW-24V und WLS-GEH230V) The RJ12-plug connector is for direct connection to the level controller.
