APPLICATION
The LVC-152-R capacitance level
switch is the perfect switch solution
for conductive coating or scaling
type liquids. The LVC-152-R is
best applied in grounded vessels
which contain water based, light
to medium coating or scaling type
liquids including soap, wastewater
and brine solutions.
The LVC-152-R capacitance switch
detects the presence of liquid or air
by measuring the conductive or
dielectric values which are present in
all materials. The guard circuit rejects
the negative effects of coating buildup on the probe by eliminating the
coating signal path between the
active and reference electrodes. As
the probe tip becomes immersed
in liquid, the capacitance effect
is greatly increased and the
switch changes state.
