Pressure sensor with diagnostic function
for pumps
In addition to pressure measurement, efector PIM offers an additional function, allowing the diagnosis of pumps and the system "around the pump"
To do so, it permanently evaluates the dynamic pressure fluctuations in the system and compares them to the reference values stored by teaching Damage, e.g by cavitation or trapped air, is detected at an early stage

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
So, the sensor can be perfectly integrated in condition-based maintenance concepts.
The pump systems become more reliable and uptime increases.
Expensive system damage or even possible environmental stress, sometimes associated with extreme consequential costs, is prevented by efector PIM.
A trend indication in the display visualises the pump condition.
An alarm is triggered via the switching output when a critical operating status is reached.
The sensor at the same time serves for pressure monitoring.
The user can define a second output as a switching output or analogue output.
So, the sensor can be directly used for pump control.
Thanks to the hygienic design and its EHEDG and FDA approval the sensor can also be used in hygienic applications. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
