Clever level sensor does more than check levels
The recent success of the LK and LI series level probes has led to the introduction of some clever new sensors that provide more information than just liquid level
A pump cavitation sensor at last!
The ifm electronic pump diagnostic pressure sensor detects cavitation, trapped air and blockages, just what you have been waiting for!
The new housing design packs in a host of improvements from electronic temperature compensation, improved signal evaluation giving an overall accuracy 0.2% as well as a maintenance-free high-purity (AI2O3, 99.9 %) ceramic cell that doesn't drift and doesn't need an elastomer O-Ring.
Instead a cleverly mounted PTFE-seal ensures there is no dead space.
The new units will work in an ambient temperature of -25 to 80 C monitoring medium temperatures between -25 to 125 C and can even withstand continuous fluid as high as +145C for periods of up to one hour, making them ideal for installations where steam or hot liquids are used for cleaning and sterilisation.
Available with measuring range -1 to 100 bar they also come with a modular process connection using the Aseptoflex concept, so they will fit to most processes quickly and easily.
ifm electronic PI pressure sensors provide a measuring signal of either 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA scalable via the pushbuttons.
There's also a programmable switched output available.
Optionally, the settings and values can be accessed and displayed via your PC.
The device also has its own display, consisting of a four-digit LED display of values and units (bar/mbar, kPa/Mpa, psi or percent).
Naturally all PI series sensors are certificated by EHEDG and built to 3A standards. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
