Introduction
Level sensors, either of the continuous measurement model which measures the whole range where the level changes, or of the
point level measurement model which detects the material when it reaches the specified points such as high and low, directly use
one of the physical characteristics the measured material has.
For example, float sensors and pressure transmitters utilize the density of measured fluid, capacitance sensors the dielectric
constant, Additionally, solids exhibit some characteristics that liquids do not, including shape, apparent density, angle of repose,
and water content. They are known to change, sometimes enormously, when operating conditions or application environments
change, adversely affecting the operation.
In the following paragraphs, sensors are divided into two groups, liquid level sensors and solid level sensors, and general
instructions for selection and use of level sensors are given based on the characteristics of each group.
LIQUID LEVEL SENSORS
The levels a liquid level sensor measures include: the interface between air and liquid, the one most commonly known as a
level; the interface between liquids, such as water and oil; and the interface between liquid and solid, such as the tank bottom
and the liquid inside it.
Liquids to be measured vary widely. They can be made of a single component or a mixture of multiple components, with
different density, viscosity, or dielectric constant. The state of liquid, such as if it is highly viscous, adhesive, with foam on its
surface, slurry, or easy to crystalize, is also very important in selecting a level sensor.
The state or condition of liquid in the tank, such as its behavior, pressure and temperature, can affect measurement accuracy
and thus is an important factor. Relation between the speed of level change due to filling or discharge and the sensor response
rate, foam because of an agitator, vortex, bubbling, and vibration also require special considerations.
If accuracy is important, the mounting location and method will have to be chosen carefully. In this case, sensors should not
be mounted near the inlet or the outlet, or a guide pipe or a stillpipe may have to be provided to prevent the sensor from being
carried away by the fluid.
Sensors using specific gravity
Liquid characteristics are very important in selecting a level sensor.
Float sensors and pressure sensors utilize specific gravity of the measured liquid. Although change in specific gravity causes
measurement error, the conditions are usually controlled in process measurement or control applications. The specific gravity is
not likely to change in these applications, and level sensors adjusted to the specified specific gravity will work fine. However, it
has to be noted that measurement error can occur when operating conditions are different from the usual states, such as during
startup of the plant.
Sensors using dielectric constant
Capacitive sensors use dielectric constant. Dielectric constant of liquid is generally sensitive to temperature change, and the
value decreases as the temperature rises. For example, dielectric constant of water is 88 at 0C, 80 at 20C, and 48 at 100C.
Thus, temperature conditions must carefully be considered when using a capacitive sensor.
Moreover, temperature change is not the only challenge. Many users use the capacitive sensors assuming the temperature
change will be small after process conditions are decided and there will be no other problem. Even when the temperature change
is small, care must be taken when the measured liquid has small dielectric constant or is adhesive, or when high accuracy
measurement is required.
SOLID LEVEL SENSORS
Solids exhibit totally different characteristics from liquids, with some possibly yet to be satisfactorily explained. It can be said
that solid level sensors have been developed empirically to this day.
Some of the characteristics are explained in the following paragraphs.
Angle of repose
When solid materials are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile will form. The internal angle between the surface of the
pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose. The slope angle, by the way, at which solid materials start to slide
is called the angle of slide. The angle of slide is smaller than the angle of repose.
The angle of repose varies with the water content, size and shape of the particles, and tends to increase when water content
increases and when the particle diameter decreases.
Solid pressure
While liquid pressure is exerted equally in all directions, solid pressure acts the most strongly in the direction the pressure is
applied, and less strongly in other directions, with the weakest point at a 90 degree angle off the original direction.
When the applied pressure exceeds a certain limit, the particles start to slide.
Pressure exerted on the tank bottom becomes the largest when the solid level is 3 to 5 times the tank inner diameter, however,
at lower levels, most of the weight acts sideways on the tank wall and the downward force does not increase.

Bridging
Bridging is one of the characteristics of solid materials that can pose problems.
Solid materials are usually discharged by gravity. Even those with high fluidity can deposit at the tank bottom in a funnel shape
and stop discharging if the outlet is small. Adhesive solids tend to discharge only at the portion directly above the outlet, and the
rest of material remains in the tank. These phenomena are called bridging. It is said that solids of its particle diameter larger than
1 mm do not cause bridging if the outlet diameter is at least 6 times as large as that of the particle.

General notes for selecting a level sensor

Level sensors are used in a wide range of applications. The measured material can be liquids, solids or bulk solids, and the
purpose of measurement can be detection of filled or discharged amount for business transactions, process monitoring or
control, or production or inventory management. Selecting a sensor most suitable for the measured material and the purpose of
measurement is necessary for successful level measurement.
Signal processing capability is one of the features that the user should care about to receive necessary information from the
sensor. Sensors can:
- have the local display only;
- come with a transmitter;
- are capable of calculating and processing the output signals, and converting them to signals for recording, warning or control.
Choosing the sensor best matching the purpose of measurement is important.
Prior to selecting a sensor, the user needs to consider what the material is, why it is to be measured, what is the required
information, and how the gained information is to be processed and used.
The following paragraphs include typical notes for selecting a level sensor.
(1) Material to be measured
The important factors regarding the measured material include the material type, its characteristics under the operating
conditions such as temperature, pressure, density, viscosity and dielectric constant. For solid materials, apparent density,
humidity, particle size and the angle of repose should also be taken into consideration. Additionally, corrosiveness, abradability,
inflamablilty and explosiveness and their levels should be clarified.
The state of material in the tank is another factor for successful sensor selection. Information such as whether the level is
stationary or changes slowly, the surface is with turbulence or vortex due to an agitator or by boiling, has to be checked. The type,
configurations and material of construction of the tank are also important.
If maintenance, service or replacement of the sensor with the tank in operation is required, such availability has to be checked.
If such work is required but the process does not allow it, sensors that can be isolated from the process will be the choice.
(2) Information to be obtained
The sensor model, needed functions and required accuracy level depend on the information required to be obtained using
the sensor. There are two types of level sensors, point level sensors and continuous level sensors. Use the former for warning
or switching control at a specified level, and the latter for measurement of filled, discharged or current amount of material, or for
process control.
The following items should be taken into account in selecting a sensor to use:
- application type such as liquid/solid level, interface of liquids or liquid and solid;
- whether the data are regarded as continuously monitored information gained using one controller and one sensor, or as
cyclically or intermittently monitored information gained using one controller and multiple sensors;
- required measurement accuracy.
(3) Usage of obtained information
The measured values can be used simply as a level value, or converted into volume, mass or other information. If conversion is
required, check how it should be done.
Also, check how the measured values should be displayed, that is, if it should be recorded, or graphically displayed, and also if
it is to be used for continuous or switching control, and if digital or analog transmission is required.
(4) Relation between the measured material and the sensor
Mounting location and method are important factors in terms of accuracy, error occurrence, failure ratio and maintenance.
Conditions of the mounting location such as temperature, if the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, vibration or corrosive materials,
and the zone number of the location should also be checked.
For food and beverage applications, sensors have to be of sanitary models, easily cleaned and without anything that can cause
material buildup. Give a thought to the location and conditions of inlet and outlet, and peripheral equipment or conveyer as well.
(5) Use in hazardous areas
Flameproof or intrinsically safe sensors are typically used in hazardous areas. Which to use depends on the zone classification
of the area. In Zone 0 areas, intrinsically safe sensors must be used. In Zone 1 and 2 areas, intrinsically safe or flameproof sensors
are required. Check which type of approval is required in your application before selecting a sensor.

phase detection and ensures the wide range
of sensitivity adjustment, insensitive to buildup,
and easy adjustment using digital signals. This
sensor can detect Kerosene and Water without
changing the circuit board. Model CG300 is not
affected by the resistance of buildup due to the
phase detection. However, if it is affected, CG300
automatically select reasonable data, and output
the signal correctly. When the medium inside of
tank is changed, CG300 automatically calculates
and output ZERO and SPAN values with one given
point adjusted.

MODEL CG300
NEW CAPACITANCE LEVEL MEASURMENT
14
Operational Description
The basic oscillator circuit is of the parallel
resonance circuit with L (coil) and C (capacitance
between the electrodes). The oscillation frequency
(f) of this circuit is: f=1/2 LC. The frequency
without material around the sensor (f1) is:
f1=1/2 LC, where C is the capacitance without
material around the sensor (ZORO point). With
material around the sensor, the capacitance
increases (C+C), and the frequency (f2) is:
f2=1/2 L(C+C), where C+C is the capacitance
with material around the sensor (SPAN point). The
sensor detects the frequency change from f1, and
gives output (4 to 20mA) corresponding to the
change. With the incorporated microcomputer,
offset of output current and reversed output signals
for ZERO/SPAN points are also available.
Key Features and Benefits

Dielectric constant compensation function

When the dielectric constant of medium changes,
the conventional products need re-adjustment
of Zero and Span points. Model CG300
automatically calculates and output Zero and
Span values with one given point adjusted.

General Description
The LR series, custom continuous level sensors,
are designed to meet customers requirements
for reliable operation. Models are available in
lengths up to 3900mm with a variety of mounting
configurations. The wide selection of materials
include 304SS, 316SS, PVC, CPVC, PP, and others.
For stable operation, we recommend using with our
controller of Model MP2000 or CU2000.
Operational Description
The LR series consists of the reed switch and
resistor on the PCB inside the stem and permanent
magnet inside the float. The float is the only
moving part which travels vertically on the stem.
A permanent magnet inside the float acts on a
series of closely set reed switches and resistors
on the PCB inside the stem. The reed switches
are actuated by the float magnetic field in a 2-3-
2 at a time" as the float travels. Accordingly, the
total resistance value of PCB is changed by float
traveling. The total resistance value is converted
into voltage and current signals in proportion to the
level of the liquid.
28
Interface Monitor
Model LR series float transmitters can monitor
the interface between two immiscible liquids. A
minimum specific gravity difference of 0.1 can be
accommodated. The weight and buoyancy of the
magnetic float will be adjusted so that the float sinks
through the lighter liquid and rides on the heavier
liquid. This option can be provided if the following
conditions are met:
1. Float material is 316 stainless steel
2. Minimum specific gravity difference is 0.1
3. Liquids have a specific gravity of 0.6 or greater
Volume Monitor

MODEL PL
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE LEVEL MONITOR
Features
High accuracy and repeatability
Protected against lightning surge
Humidity/Dew immunity
Minimal temperature error
Diaphragm protection
General Description
The PL series, hydrostatic liquid level monitor,
is comprised of a sensor and converter. This
combination allows measuring of depth up to 100
meter. The PL series are ideal for use in water
reservoirs, rivers, dams, deep wells, water gates,
and deep tanks.
Operational Description
The sensor converts liquid pressure into
current signals proportional to the liquid level. A
semiconductor transducer containing silicon oil and
a Hastelloy C-22 sealing diaphragm is employed
to achieve accuracy and durability. In order to
compensate for atmospheric pressure the cable
contains a hollow breathing tube. Internal circuit
is fully potted to provide immunity from humidity and
condensation.
An integrated lightning arrestor protects the
sensor from damage caused by lightning surges
and storm activity.
Advantages
1. Protected against lightning surge
Model PL is provided with integral lightning
arrester and surge absorber to protect against
lightning surge.
2. Humidity/Dew immunity
Internal circuit is fully potted to avoid humidity or
dew.
32
Surge Protection
To protect the PL from damage caused by
lightning or electrical surges, the shield of the cable
shall not be grounded. The shield wire in the cable
is internally connected with the transducer housing.
Thus, without any external grounding, the shield
wire is already grounded through the water and the
grounded tank.
When lightning struck to the cable, the large
electric current flows from the shield wire to the
ground through the housing, the water and the
tank. This induced current may generate differential
voltage between the positive and the negative
signal wire or between the signal wire and the
housing. The Zener Diode should suppress it and
the Button Arrester should discharge it by flashing
to change it into light energy.

Operational Description
The LA system operates by bubbling a small
flow of air from a submerged dip tube and then
measuring the resulting air back pressure. Pressure
increases proportion to depth of measured liquid
until air is forced out the bottom. At this point,
pressure stabilizes and the pressure is measured by
the control unit. The pressure signal is converted to
4-20mA DC output. The field indicator is provided
by the converter.

Protection For Electrical Surges:
1. Over voltage
Reed switches are not designed for the direct
switching of inductive loads such as motors,
contactors, solenoid valves, and so on. They are
susceptible to damage from over voltage. DO
NOT EXCEED THE CONTACT RATINGS. Contact
should be wired to miniature relays, suppressors
or similar devices. We recommend the use of our
relay unit model RE7000.
2. Over current
The switching lamps or stray capacity from long
cable length may produce surge current, and the
reed switch may be welded. Contact should be
wired to our relay unit model RE7000.
Technical Notes
1. The sealing compound over the lead wire egress
will keep moisture, but is insufficient to prevent
water penetration. Please install in good location
or apply suitable sealant.
2. If there is surface wave motion, use a time-delay
relay to dampen the switch action.
3. The switch should be located away from strong
magnetic fields such as those produced by
motors or solenoid values.
4. Max. Allowable impact is 10G. Shocks greater
than 10G may damage the switch.
5. Max. Pull load of lead wire is 19.6N. Exceeded
pulling during installation may damage the switch.

MODEL FS
WIDE DIFFERENTIAL FLOAT SENSOR
Features
Direct pump control
Adjustable ON/OFF switching levels
Unaffected by magnetic fields
Simple installation
General Description
The Model FS is a simple float sensor designed
for top mounting in open tanks or vessels. The FS
can be installed by bulkhead, screw-in or flange
mounting. Control range is adjustable from 60mm
to 1500mm. This sensor is designed for use as
a reliable component in hydraulic units, boilers,
magnetic cooling equipment, irrigation systems,
etc. The model FS is an economical solution for
emptying and filling control.
Operational Description
The model FS consists of a micro-switch operated
by a vertical rod and float mechanism. The float
freely moves between upper and lower stoppers
which are fixed on the rod at the customers
requested points. As the liquid level rises, the float
moves up until it reaches to the upper stopper. The
rod will then be pushed up by the buoyancy of
float, and the micro switch will be operated. When
the liquid level falls, the float moves down until it
reaches to the lower stopper. Then the rod will
be fallen down by the weight of the float, and the
micro switch operation will be reversed. A spring
mechanism attached to the rod is designed to
provide mechanical hysteresis. During the float
traveling on the rod, the operating state of micro
switch is held until the float reaches the upper or
lower stoppers.
The stoppers on the rod can be adjusted to obtain
desired switching range, and the 5A rated, single-
pole, double-throws switch makes the model FS
suitable for either empty or full operations.
Installation Notes
Installation of the model FS is extremely simple
and easily accomplished. When installing the
switch, the following points should be noted:
1. The spring operation tension is factory set, but
may require adjustment on site, especially if the
length of the operating rod is changed. Correct
operation should be checked and the spring
tension adjusted if necessary.
2. It is important that the shaft and rod be mounted
so that their axis is truly vertical.

MODEL FC
CABLE SUSPENDED FLOAT SENSOR
Features

Usable in corrosive liquids

Mounts in limited overhead space

Stable in turbulent liquids

Adjustable switch points

Reliability/Long switch life

General Description
The FC series guard floats are designed for use
in applications where the actuation level is too deep
for our model FR (Max. 3.9 meter), where overhead
space is limited, or where there is surface wave
motion. The PVC or Polypropylene float and SCM
cable are compatible with a wide range of corrosive
liquids. The float is protected from turbulence and
motion by a PVC guard. The switch operating levels
are easily adjusted by altering the height of the
cable fixing point. The switch operations, NO or
NC, are easily changed by inverting the float.
A number of float units can be used together
to give multiple level switch points in one flanged
holder. Each float can be easily assembled on site
and the switch operating points are adjusted by
desired length of cable.
Operational Description
The FC consists of a float on a stem with a reed
switch inside the stem. As the float rises or falls with
the level of the liquid, the reed switch is activated by
a permanent magnet in the float.
Technical Note
To avoid personal injury and protect the switch for
electrical surges, connect the float to our relay unit
Model RE7000 or similar devices.

MODEL FT
CABLE SUSPENDED FLOAT SENSOR
Features
Usable in a wide range of liquids
Available NO or NC contacts
Adjustable switch points
Reliable/Long switch life
Easy installation
General Description
The FT series cable suspended float sensors
are designed for high or low level indication. The
FT series are miniature switch actuated design
ideally suited to operate pumps, valves and similar
equipment used in the sewage or municipal
wastewater treatment plant. A high capacity micro
switch in the ABS float provides a reliable long life
level control.
A number of float units can be used together
to give multiple level switch points in one flanged
holder. Each float can be easily assembled on site
and the switch operating points are adjusted by
altering the length of the cable.
Operational Description
The buoyant float is weighted on one side. As
the liquid rises, it tilts in a fixed direction to operate
the micro switch, which uses a movable iron ball to
actuate the switch.
Chemical Resistance
The ABS covered float and PVC cable are
compatible with a wide range of liquids. However,
there are some liquids that may damage these
materials.
ABS can be quickly damaged by the following
liquids:
Aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene) cause the
float to dissolve.
Esters and ketones cause the float to swell.
PVC cable can be used with the following
cautions:
Oils, especially vegetable oils and fats, tend to
absorb the plasticizer of PVC cable. Consequently
the cable stiffens.
If necessary, alternative SCM cable is available
with FT-3A and FT-3B. In general, the resistibility
depends on concentration, duration of immersion,
presence of suspended solids and/or corrosive
gasses and temperature. Although these cable
suspended floats are designed for long life, we
recommend that they are replaced at adequate
intervals.
Technical Notes
The FT-3 is ideal for direct pump control, with 2A
250V AC switch rating. For PLC and DCS usage,
we recommend to use the FT-2, with 0.1A 125V
AC rating.
SCM cable is available with FT-3A and FT-3B.
To avoid personal injury and protect the switch for
electrical surges, connect the float to our relay unit

General Description
The FQ-6 and FQ-8 cable suspended float
sensors are designed to provide the control signals
for a differential pump control system. These top
mounting sensors are suitable for use in a wide
variety of open tanks or vessels. The control
differential in the FQ-6 is adjustable from 270mm
to 1000mm and FQ-8 is adjustable from 330mm
to 4000mm. The ABS covered float and the PVC
cable make them ideal for most pump control
applications.
A number of float units can be used together
to give multiple level switch points in one flanged
holder. Each float can be easily assembled on site
and the switch operating points are adjusted by
altering the length of the cable.
Operational Description
The Model FQ contains a hermetically sealed
reed switch, a permanent magnet, and a movable
weight.
As the liquid level rises and falls, the movable
magnetized weight slides up and down inside the
float and acts upon an encapsulated reed switch.
The float tumbles at its upper and lower limits. In
this way the reed switch changes state at the upper
limit and remains in this state until the lower limit is
reached and it changes state again.
Chemical Resistance
The ABS covered float and PVC cable are
compatible with a wide range of liquids. However,
there are some liquids that may damage these
materials.
ABS can be quickly damaged by the following
liquids:
Aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene) cause the

Esters and ketones cause the float to swell.
PVC cable can be used with the following
cautions:
Oils, especially vegetable oils and fats,
tend to absorb the plasticizer of PVC cable.
Consequently the cable stiffens.
If necessary, alternative Hypalon cable is
available with FQ-8. In general, the resistibility
depends on concentration, duration of immersion,
presence of suspended solids and/or corrosive
gasses and temperature. Although these cable

Simple installation: Requires only a G1
connection at the top of the tank
Reliable: The FP employs a minimum of moving
parts. The diaphragm moves a maximum of 2mm.
No moving parts are in contact with the liquids
Long life expectancy: The FP is designed for over
200,000 operations
General Description
The FP series pneumatic liquid level sensor is a
diaphragm actuated sensor. They are designed for
use in high viscous liquids.
The FP series cover the wide range of
applications. The FP-1A, with a neoprene
diaphragm, is for general usage. The FP-1S, with a
Viton diaphragm, is for corrosive atmosphere. The
FP-3, with neoprene diaphragm, is for cost effective.
The explosion proof, FP510, is also available, which
is approved as flameproof construction (d2G4)
by Technical Institute of Industrial Safety (TIIS),
Japanese Ministry of Labor.
66
Operational Description
The SPDT micro switch in the FP is actuated by
compression of a captive air column in the detecting
pipe beneath the diaphragm.
Technical Notes
1. Pipe coupling shall be airtight by applying a
sealing compound in paste form. Do not use a
seal tape.
2. For low level detection, switch operating position
may rise if the detecting pipe soaks long in liquid
because pressurized air in the pipe is gradually
dissolved into liquid.
3. For high viscous liquid, we recommend to cut the
tip of the pipe at a slant or use the bigger pipe
than usual 1/2.

MODEL FE
ELECTRODE LEVEL SENSOR
Features

Usable in a wide range of liquids

Up to 6 points detection

Safe low voltage and small currents

Switch points easily adjusted in field

General Description
The FE series of level sensors are designed for
point level indication of conductive liquids. Used in
conjunction with one or more RE7000 relays, the FE
can reliably detect up to 6 separate levels in tanks
up to 6 meter deep. Model CE, cable suspended
electrode level sensor, is available for deep wells
with the cable length 6 meter standard and 20 meter
maximum.
Operating levels can be easily changed in the
field by cutting the length of the electrodes. The
material of electrode is selected from 316SS,
NW0001 0665, NW0276, and Titanium for the
chemical compatibility.
Operational Description
A typical system consists of three major
components, an electrode holder, the electrodes,
and a relay unit.
The electrode holder serves as a mechanical
support for the electrodes and electrically insulates
them from the tank. The electrodes are vertically
mounted to the holder, above the liquid, with their
lower ends positioned at the required actuation
levels. The relay unit provides the voltage and
current required (8V, 5mA AC Max.) for sensing as
well as suitable relay outputs.
Applications
The FE series can be used in any suitable,
conductive liquids. Applications involve both alarm
point detection and pump valve control. Since the
FE series contain no moving parts, it is very reliable
and can be used in tanks where mixers or other
moving equipment would damage ordinary float
switches or level detectors.

Up to 6 detection points
General Description
The CE is designed for use in large tanks or
vessel where the FE series can not be used due
to the limitation of electrode length. Used in
conjunction with one or more RE7000 relays, the
CE can reliably detect up to 6 separate levels in
tanks up to 20 meter deep. The PVC body, the PVC
cable, and selectable electrodes are compatible
with a wide range of liquids. The material of
electrode is selected from 316SS, NW0001,0665,
NW0276, and Titanium for the chemical
compatibility. If necessary, alternative SCM cable is
available.
Application
The CE series can be used in any suitable
conductive liquids. Applications involve both alarm

MODEL MT
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY LEVEL SENSOR
Features
Stable operation with build up of scum and slurry
High durability
Easy operation of relay unit
Easy maintenance
General Description
Model MT system is a conductance actuated
control system utilizing the electrical conductivity
of the liquid to carry a small current which when
sensed, activates the appropriate controls. The
multi-points probe has the capability to control
several pumps and alarms, as well as indication of
levels, using discrete set points.
Operational Description
When AC power is applied to a pair of isolated
electrodes, without liquid between them, no current
is delivered. When there is liquid, it becomes a part
of electrical circuit and a current is delivered.
When liquid contacts the electrode, MT directly
detects the resistance and compares it with the
value set in the relay unit to determine the liquid
presence, then sends signals to amplifier, causing
the relay to give output signals.
Applications
Model MT system can be used in any suitable
conductive liquids. Applications involve both alarm
point detection and pump valve control. Since MT
system contain no moving parts, it is very reliable
and can be used in tanks where mixers or other
moving equipment would damage ordinary float
sensor or other level detectors.
MT system is very reliable to use in Waste water,
Sewage water, Fresh water, and Conductive liquids.
Manhole pump control is one of biggest application
for MT system.

MODEL OX
OPTICAL INTERFACE SENSOR
Features

Optimizes sludge discharge control

No influence from ambient light

Eliminates build up and fouling of probes

Durable construction

Ideal for corrosive liquids

General Description
Model OX optical interface sensor consists of a
sensing probe and a separate electronic converter.
Sediments, suspended solids, and interface of
immiscible liquids are detected by using an infrared
transmission operating principle. By transmitting the
infrared light with pulse modulation, a strong beam
goes through build up and fouling on the probe
surfaces. Ambient light is electrically disregarded
by using a special frequency.
The sensing probe is submersible and the PVC
housing, PP sealing connector, and FEP covered
probes are compatible with a wide range of liquids.
Special PVC cable lengths are 20 meters. The
detecting level can be easily adjusted by altering
the height of the cable fixing point.
The electronic converter has a switch selectable
High or Low fail-safe mode for relay safety. An
adjustable 0.5 to 10 seconds switching delay is
provided in order to avoid transient on/off signals.
Operational Description
The OX consists of two element probes. A beam
transmits from one which has a built in infrared
emitting diode to the other which has a built in
photo detector. When the probes are immersed
into medium, the infrared beam transmission
is decreased. This damping is detected and
converted into an electric relay output.

MODEL CG
NEW CAPACITANCE POINT LEVEL SENSOR
General Description
Conventional Radio Frequency and Admittance
sensors are typically used as inexpensive solutions
for point level detection, but they are often times
unreliable. The model CG provides reliable,
simple, and cost effective point level detection of
liquids, solids, and adhesive conductive medium.
Sophisticated application with fluids, operation
conditions that requires periodical re-calibration
with conventional simple sensors due to the
deviation of working conditions like Fluids chemical
configuration, Humidity, Temperature, Resistance
value factor, build up can not normally be covered
with conventionally simple capacitance level
sensors.
Our new model CG can work well both to simple
fluids, difficult fluids, and sophisticated environment
due to the patent pending circuitry.
Operational Description
The model CG consists of an oscillation circuit
and a detection circuit. Both circuits synchronize at
a constant 1.4MHz frequency in the air,
f1=1/2 LC.
The frequency of detection circuit is changed
from the air to in the medium by taking in the
capacity of the medium, f2=1/2 L(C+C).
The oscillation circuit automatically follows
to synchronize with the frequency of detection
circuit. When the resonance frequency shifts to the
detection set point, the relay is energized.
Features
One push adjustment by parameter
Various function by microprocessor
LCD for operation check
Improved function for material build up
Outstanding reliability
No need to adjust in actual liquid
78
Key Features and Benefits
Patent circuitry
The CG consists of an oscillation circuit and a detection circuit, and the frequencies of these two circuits
are automatically synchronized. This function provides Free from Initial Calibration, Wide Sensitivity Range,
Resist Build up Problem, and Highly Stable Detection.
One push adjustment by parameter
Adjustment can be easily done by using 4 push button switches to select parameters and enter setting
values. Without the tester or tool needed, the configuration error due to personal difference will be avoided.
Improved function for material build up
Unlike the traditional sensors which utilize the change in voltage, the CG series detect the change in
frequency caused by the change in capacitance value, resulting in minimizing the affection by build up
No need to adjust in actual liquid
When the application condition and the device model are the same, the sensor operates successfully with
the same parameter values.

MODEL KRV
CAPACITANCE LEVEL SENSOR
Features
No adjustment required
High sensitivity with dielectric constant as low as

Ignores coatings and build up
Detects solids, liquids, and interface of two
immiscible liquids
General Description
The KRV series of capacitance sensors are
designed for point level detection of liquids, solids,
powder, or interface between two immiscible liquids.
Radio Frequency sensors are typically used to
detect liquids, but have a difficult time with solid
or powder materials. The KRV series overcome
this limitation by having a parallel LC circuit on its
oscillator and five switch selected sensitivity ranges.
The KRV series easily detect solid and powder
materials such as plastic powder/pellet, fly ash,
carbon black, and similar substances.
The KRV series reliably detect the interface
between two immiscible liquids, oil and water as an
example. The KRV can be set to operate in water
but not in oil. Additionally, the KRV will ignore heavy
oily build up on its electrode.
Operational Description
When the electrode is in free air, the oscillation
circuit synchronizes with the detection circuit. When
the electrode is in the medium, the synchronization
between the oscillation circuit and the detection
circuit breaks with the capacitance of the medium
being taken in. This difference is then converted into

MODEL KSV
FOR CONDUCTIVE MEDIUM
Features

Ignores heavy conductive build up

Single probe/Mechanically strong

General Description
The KSV series of capacitance sensors are made
specifically for point level detection of conductive
medium. Applications include water, chemical
solutions, acid based slurries, conductive granules,
and sticky liquids.
Build up is one of the most common problems
for capacitance sensors. Conventional Radio
Frequency sensors solve this problem by using a
guard probes (the second or third element to the
electrode). But this complicated probe construction
tends to make probes easily broken, particularly
if twisted in agitated containers. Consequently,
conventional RF sensors are installed vertically and
limited to a fixed length, foamed in one piece.
The KSV series have overcome this limitation
by using the series resonance circuit and a single
electrode. This circuit corrects for conductive
build up by measuring its resistance. The single
electrode can be mounted in virtually any position
and is available with a number of standard
mountings.
Operational Description
The electrode of the KSV is a part of the
oscillation circuit. When the electrode is in the free
air, the oscillation is stopped. When it is in medium,
the oscillation is restored by measuring capacitance
of medium and the relay is energized.
Applications

Liquids (except for oil): Water, Caustic soda,

Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, Sulfuric acid, etc.

Sticky conductive medium: Drainage, Dehydrated

cake, Night soil, Sewage, Sludge, Slurry, etc.
82
Ordering Information
Ignores Heavy Conductive Buildup
The characteristics of the KSV circuit are defined by:
b> c: Oscillation stops (The electrode is in the air.)
b< c: Oscillation starts (The electrode is in the
medium.)
b=1/(C+ C)R
b: Frequency when the electrode is coated or
covered by the medium.
c: Adjusted frequency when the electrode is in the air.
C : The stray capacitance of the electrode.
C: The capacitance of the medium.
R : Resistance of the medium.
When a conductive resistance builds up forms on the
electrode, b increases as R falls ( ). This means
b> c so that oscillation cannot start ( ).
When actual medium level is covering the electrode,
b decreases by taking in C( ). This means b<
c so that oscillation starts and the relay energizes.
In this way, by taking resistance of conductive build
up and canceling capacitance of that, the KSV prevents
false relay trips.
Value of capacitance and resistance of sensitivity are
shown on Table 1.

Operational Description
(Patent Principle and Construction)
The vibration rod of new VL series is constructed

the electro magnet and permanent magnet are
attracted and repulsed. This movement makes
vibration.
The construction of vibration probe is similar
to the motor. When the motor is energized by
the battery, the back electromotive current is
generated by the influence of permanent magnet
and coil. When the vibration rod is covered with
solids or powdered material, the current flowing
to the lead wire is increased by damping of the
back electromotive current. The amplifier detects
the shifting of current level, and converts to output
signal.

General Description
Vibration level sensor VF is to detect presence
of powder and granular material at a desired level
to send signals utilized for alarm output or control
of electromagnetic switches. The vibration plate
at the tip of sensor is inserted in the tank to detect
the presence of measuring object. Whit minimum
inserted length and no mechanical moving parts,
VF can achieve high durability.
Operational Description
The vibration plate has a magnet inside it,
and when the pulse magnetic field produced by
the electromagnet is applied, the magnet starts
vibrating, causing the plate itself to vibrate. The
vibration frequency changes when the plate is
covered by medium or exposed, and causes
the change in voltage at the electromagnet. The
voltage change is detected and converted to
electric signals to indicate the medium presence at
the detection point.

VIBRATION LEVEL SENSOR
Features
Low-cost piezoelectric vibratory level sensor
Easy to use 26mm proximity style housing
Not affected by moisture, humidity, or temperature
variations
Standard transistor output
Relay output optional with PR2100/2200
General Description
The VP 11N is a single point level sensor
designed for low-cost, solids state indication and
control of powder levels in a small hopper or bin.
The VP works best in granular and powdered
materials of medium to high bulk density. It is
especially useful in applications for detection of high
and low level. The VP is an excellent replacement
of mechanical rotary paddle level controls that are
prone to failure. An example is the high level control
in a plastic resin feed hopper used in injection
molding. The sensor must not be exposed to high
temperatures or excessive abrasion.
Operational Description
The sensor utilizes a piezoelectric vibration
element to create a specific vibration frequency.
If the vibration diaphragm is vibrated for pulse
vibration frequency, the reverberant vibration is
occurred. When the material covers the sensor,
more reverberant vibration is dampened for a
given length of time. The damping of reverberant
vibration is detected by a piezoelectric element,
and processed through a comparator circuit. The
sensitivity is set by the volume of damping for a
given length of time.
AC voltage with relay output is optionally available
by using our power relay unit, Model PR2100 or
PR2200.

Operational Description
When the power is applied to an R7
sensor, a motor powers a revolving shaft
to which a paddle is mounted. When the
material level inside the container reaches
the revolving paddle, the paddle rotation is
halted then the motor itself starts rotating
around the shaft and activates an isolated
SPDT micro switch. This removes power
from the motor so that it stops rotating
and an alarm signal is provided. When the
material level falls below the paddle, the
motor resets and the micro switch restores
the revolving action.
Technical Note
Detection torque can be easily adjusted
on site by changing the spring position.
The R7 has four torque setting (see chart
below). The standard setting is B. Adjust
to A, if there is a slight vibration on the
hopper. Adjust to C or D, if the load is
small.

MODEL MWS
MICROWAVE LEVEL SENSOR
Features
Non-contact sensing
High penetration, 60m operation range
Unaffected by adverse environments
Simple beam alignment
Selectable detection mode, Block or Unblock
Adjustable on delay timer
General Description
The MWS-ST/SR-11 microwave sensor is a
level sensor consisting of a transmitter (MWS-
ST-11) and a receiver (MWS-SR-11) installed face
to face. The transmitter emits a continuous, low
power microwave beam towards the receiver
and an output relay is released when the beam is
obstructed.
The sensor has wide application across all areas
of industry where highly reliable, non-contact level
detection is required. The sensor is generally used
for process control by monitoring presence or
absence of products, flow or non-flow conditions
and point level detection in bins and silos. The
sensor may also be used as a proximity sensor for
detection of vehicles such as dump trucks and rail
cars.
Applications
Garbage level detection in Garbage Incineration
Plant
Flow/Non-flow detection of Cement, Sugar,
Firebrick, Wood chip, etc
Slab position in a hot oven of an iron plant
High level detection of pig iron for the car at iron
plant
Presence/absence detection in a plastic bottle,
Carton box, etc
Technical Advantages
High Penetration
24 GHz high frequency is not attenuated by dust,
moisture, or vapor, and easily penetrates process
build-up on antenna, firebrick, refractory etc.
No Angle Adjustment Required
Approx. 30 degrees beam spread prevents
misalignment.
On delay timer
On delay time, adjustable 0.1 to 10 seconds,
prevents instantaneous detection of falling
material whist filling.
Safety of Microwaves
Complies with FFC Title Rule 15 and OSHA
exposure specification stated in Section 1910.97.

MODEL AF10
ACOUSTICAL FLOW SENSOR FOR SOLIDS
Features
Acoustic noise sensor for equipment maintenance
requirements and solid flow sensing in pipes
Works in audible sound frequencies of 8 to 16kHz
Easy to install by strap or screw to pipe or bearing
Selfcontained with 24 to 264VAC or DC power and
1 SPST relay output
Offset, gain and time delay adjustments with (4)
LED indicators
General Description
The AF10 is a selfcontained acoustical sensor
that detects the audible noise made by powders or
grains in a pipe or conveyor. It may also be used to
detect audible noise on mechanical equipment for
preventive maintenance.
Operational Description
The solid state sensor detects acoustical
vibrations by a piezoelectric pickup. If the audible
vibrations exceed a Gain setting limit, a relay
output occurs. Because sound is transmitted
very effectively by a metal or plastic pipe, this is
especially suitable for pneumatic conveying. A lack
of sound indicates a plugged pipe.
Applications
The AF10 works best in granular and powdered
materials that are hard. The rattle of conveyed
material on the pipe wall would convey audible
noise through the pipe wall to the transducer. The
AF10 can also be affixed to motor or machine
bearings and can be adjusted to provide an alarm
when excessive noise from the bearing occurs.
Calibration will require an audible noise source
comparable to a faulty bearing.
