Conductivity Type Level Switch: Salient Features

This document describes a conductivity type level switch, which uses low AC voltage between sensing electrodes and a reference electrode to detect the level of conductive liquids. It is available in integral and non-integral versions. When liquid touches the electrodes, a current flows and operates a relay to provide a visual indication and contacts for further operations. Key features include corrosion resistance, easy installation, and fail-safe functionality. Specifications cover enclosure type, connections, materials, temperature and pressure ratings.

CONDUCTIVITY TYPE LEVEL SWITCH

Conductivity type Level Switch is simple, low cost, point Level controller
that is used in variety of application for detecting level of conductive
liquids. It is available in two versions – one is non-integral (remote) and
other is integral.

A low AC Voltage is connected via the control unit between the sensing
electrodes and reference electrodes (tank wall in case of metallic
tanks). As soon as the conductive material touches the electrodes, a low

AC current starts to flow which operates the relay in the control unit.

Probe unit consists of electrode assembly and probe head. Electrode


assembly consists of sensing electrodes (whose tip is at the point where
level detections are required) and a reference electrode (required for
non metallic tank). Control unit provides the visual indication for level Probe

and relay output whose potential free contacts are available for
subsequent operation.

The control unit houses sensing electronics consisting of power supply


and signal conditioning circuit, which provide a low AC voltage across
sensing electrodes and reference electrodes. Integral version does not
have a separate control unit and the controller electronics is provided in
the probe head.
