Products

Ex Barriers
The Series N-132... isolating switching amplifiers (Ex Barrier) transmit switching operations from an intrinsically safe control circuit to a non-intrinsically safe active current circuit. The control units are designed according to NAMUR-DIN 19234 or EN 60947-5-6 intrinsically safe and according to IEC 60079 [Ex ia] II C. The conformity is certified in Germany by DEKRA EXAM GmbH.

i-Level (+) | capacitive level measurement systems
Our i-Level level probe is suitable for a very large measurement volume. The measurement takes place between the probe and the container wall, with the metal container wall forming the counter electrode for the measurement. In our i-Level+ variant is also suitable for large measurement volumes. With it, the 3rd electrode is integrated into the probe and therefore allows the use in a plastic container. The measurement takes place in the immediate vicinity of the probe. Our rod probes with integrated evaluation electronics are based on our patented 3-electrode measuring principle. Between the measuring electrode in electrode in the probe and the metallic vessel wall (or additional electrode). the measurement takes place. The measuring field is limited by inactive areas upwards and downwards. A defined empty adjustment can be without having to fill the vessel up to the probe or to fill up the or even to know the filling material. The following versions are available: 1. analog level probe with 2 additional switching points and EasyTeach function 2. analog level probe with EasyTeach by Wire (with or without connection head) 3. limit level probe with 1 switching point and EasyTeach by Wire (with or without connection head) 4. limit level probe with 2 switching points and EasyTeach by Wire (with or without connection head). Advantages of the probe: - Analog measuring range freely selectable within the analog measuring range - 2 additional freely placeable limit value switching points within or outside the analog range - With intelligent PNP / NPN detection, normally open or normally closed function programmable - Optional analog outputs with 4...20 mA / 20...4 mA or 0...10 V / 10...0 V - Power supply between 18...30 V DC - EasyTeach function - On request variants with EasyTeach by wire (ETW) or CANBus interface - On request with customer-specific fixed programming: "Mount and Go - Electronic lock - prevents unwanted setting changes

The EX metal rod probe | KI0213
Our optimized metal rod probe with small head and slim electrode is now also suitable for use under explosion protection conditions in zone 0 and 20 (1G1D)! In addition to explosion protection, the probe can be used under extreme process conditions. - Pressure load up to 10 bar - Active zone up to +250°C The probe is mainly used in the agricultural industry for level control of explosive bulk materials, e.g. grain or flour.

TRUELeveL® | Capacitive analogue level measurement system
The capacitive measuring systems of the TRUELeVeL® series are designed for analogue level measurement. The system consists of a level probe and evaluation electronics. The analogue level measurement automatically compensates for the DK change (DK = dielectric constant) of the product to be measured. This is particularly advantageous for level measurements with changing media. For the DK compensation a "reference" measurement is carried out, for this purpose there is a reference range in the probe tip. The TRUELeVeL® probes are available in customised lengths from 400 mm to 2000 mm. The position and length of the measuring section can be freely defined within the possible measuring range and can thus be optimally determined for the respective application. There are different variants of the evaluation electronics, from analogue output voltage 0...10 V DC via current 4...20 mA up to frequency 0...10 kHz. The setting of the measurement is very simple and can be carried out completely in the empty state. The direction of action of the output signals as well as the LED display can be defined by dip switches. Sloshing movements can be faded out by an adjustable time delay (attenuator). A relay assigned to the reference section can be used as no-load protection. Advantages are: - Level measurements in containers, pipes up to approx. 5 m diameter. - For liquids and bulk solids εr ≥ 1.2 - Also suitable for inhomogeneous media due to large measuring volume detection - With appropriate mounting almost independent of the cone of repose - Probe can be used in the range from - 70 °C to + 250 °C - Insensitive to electrostatics - Automatic compensation of dielectric constants means it can also be used with changing materials without recalibration - Complete adjustment can be easily carried out in empty condition

Series 26 | A Round Thing
Go for the round ones! Our 26s are ideal for processes with dirt or build-up due to their innovative design and electrode structure. The semicircular active surface is 50 % larger than other standard designs and thus enables safe and reliable level detection. The 26s are media-optimised, i.e. the various dielectric constant (DK) of the different media is irrelevant for detection. We only use high-quality materials such as PEEK & PTFE for this series. Both materials have a very good chemical resistance and abrasion resistance and are also FDA compliant according to 21 CFR 177.1550. The round ones are mainly used in the semiconductor, chemical and food industries.

ATEX All-in-One | Gas + Dust
It's all about combining things. Gas and dust approvals in one device. Our ATEX All-in-One sensors are approved for reliable and safe level control in all hazardous areas, thanks to our certifications for zones 0, 1 and 2 (gas) and 20, 21 and 22 (dust). The sensors do not require an Ex barrier. The All-in-Ones are available from size M8 up to M32. They can be supplied with the EasyTeach by Wire function and with food certification.

EasyMount | Integrated EasyTeach function
Our EasyMounts contain everything the user's heart desires! As the name suggests, the mounting is super easy and thus facilitates the use within your application. The EasyMounts are characterised by small dimensions and excellent technical properties. They can therefore be mounted in a variety of ways. The sensor can simply be glued to the desired position or attached with one of our EasyMount holders. With the integrated EasyTeach function, the sensitivity as well as the switching distance can be adjusted almost by itself. There are two ways of doing this: either the EasyTeachbyMagnet is used by means of magnets or the EasyTeachbyWire by means of a cable. The easy and quick completion of both variant settings allows you to focus on your core competence. Furthermore, by using the latest production techniques, the components of the sensors are embedded in the plastic. The EasyMounts are waterproof and work wear-free.

TiLevel- Optimized level probe
Continuous level measurement with one setting for all materials thanks to automatic compensation of the dielectric constants in a wide range from er 1,5 bis 80. Continuous level measurement of bulk goods, powders and liquids. Our innovation solves your challenges in case of product change or (processrelated) change of media properties and saves time, as there is no need for recalibration when changing products.
