Characteristic features of the level sensor
THE COOL ONE

The level sensor THE COOL ONE operates according to the
calorimetric measuring principle and serves the purpose of
monitoring liquids in tanks and other containers as well as in
conduits and pipes. It is used in many different industrial sectors
such as the machine and plant construction industry or the
chemical and pharmaceutical industry as an overflow protection,
level monitoring, min. and max. detection, dry running
protection, tank control and overflow safety device.

The evaluating electronics unit of this level sensor is integrated
in its probe tube, which makes this sensor a more compact and
space-saving device when compared with other liquid-
monitoring systems equipped with an external evaluating unit.

The level sensor THE COOL ONE is extremely suitable for
monitoring liquids, the viscosity of which increases with rising
temperatures, and also for monitoring oil-containing liquids and
fats, as well as aggressive media.

The evaluating electronics unit controls two PNP open collector
outputs that provide the option of making the connection to a
PLC, valve, relay or lamp.

With the two or three different versions of the level sensor,
individual sensor or installation lengths can be adjusted
according to each type of container.
