Description

The model RLT-1000 level sensor has been developed for measuring the levels of liquids. The stainless steel used is suitable for a multitude of media, such as, for example, oil, water, diesel and refrigerants.

Measuring principle

A permanent magnet built into the float triggers, with its magnetic field, the resistance measuring chain built into the guide tube. The entire assembly corresponds to a 3-wire potentiometer circuit. The measured resistance signal is proportional to the level. The model RLT-1000 is optionally available with a 4 ... 20 mA analogue output.
