Low price

EX-F1 amplifier built-in sensor saves

space as there is no need to install a

separate amplifier.

EX-F1 is very cost-effective.

Easily mountable and adjustable

Just attach it on a pipe with the tying

bands. The position can be easily

changed with the release lever even

after mounting, so that there is no

need to cut the tying bands.

Position

adjustable

Release lever

Operation mode switch

Either Light-ON or Dark-ON can be

selected by a switch. This is useful to

check the operation during installation

because it forces the output to be

turned ON or OFF even without the

liquid being inside the pipe.

Easy to check operation Indicator

The operation can be checked at a

glance from different directions.

Operation indicator (Red)

Lights up when the

output is ON.

Detecting liquid level in a tank Principle of Detection When the pipe is empty, the beam is reflected from the inner surface of the pipe wall and returns to the beamreceiving part, since the difference in the refractive indexes of the pipe and air is large. When there is liquid in the pipe, the beam enters the liquid through the wall and does not return to the beamreceiving part, since the difference in the refractive indexes of the pipe and the liquid is small.

Mounting • Mount the sensor on a pipe with the attached tying bands and anti-slip tubes as shown in the figure below. Make sure that the release lever is retracted (position as in the figure) before mounting. Fasten two tying bands, as shown, and cut off the excess portions. Anti-slip tube Selecting output operation • Either Light-ON (Liquidabsent-ON) or Dark-ON (Liquid-present-ON) can be selected with the operation mode switch according to your application.
