Level Measurement & Control


Level sensing and control

September 2008 Level Measurement & Control

Latest in Instrotech’s range from Senix is the TSL series of ToughSonic ultrasonic sensor/controls designed to provide short and long-range level control functions for liquid or solid materials at distances from 10 to 100 cm in four different range configurations.

The TSL models are waterproof (IP68), include both control and alarm outputs and operate in either a fill or empty (sump) mode. Only 10 cm long and housed in a threaded stainless steel case, these non-contact distance sensors are easily installed at the top of the tank or vessel and do not make contact with or enter the material being monitored. Senix TSL Series sensor/controls have many advanced features such as pushbutton teach set-up and user selected options to handle transient conditions. Intended primarily for liquid level control they also work with other granular or solid materials at reduced range.

Output options include sinking (NPN) or sourcing (PNP) switches for either control or alarm output in any combination.
