■ Application Examples
Liquid Leakage Detection for
Measuring Baths in CMP Devices
Liquid leaked to drain pans can be detected to prevent damage to
devices and cleaning irregularities for wafers.
Detection of Condensation and Liquid
Leakage at Semiconductor Production
Installations
Detection is also possible for condensation inside cleaning devices
and liquid leaked to the surroundings.
Detection of Liquid Leakage at Pipe
Joints for Liquid Chemical Tanks
Liquid leakage at a pipe joint can be detected by wrapping the Sensing Band around the joint.
Sensing Band with Excellent Chemical
Resistance
SUS316 and polyethylene
are used for the Sensing
Band’s core and sheath to
ensure high resistance to
both acidic and alkaline liquids.
Detection of Cleaning Fluid Level for
Plating Devices
The level of pure water is detected inside plating baths. High sensitivity allows high-accuracy control to prevent cleaning irregularities.
Note: Be sure to ground the baths if two or more K7L Sensors are
used in the same tank in an explosion-prevention area.

Note: The range is set using the DIP switch on the side of the Sensor Amplifier. (Refer to DIP Switch Set-
tings.) Set the corresponding pin of the DIP switch in the up position. (For range 0, set all 3 pins in
the down position.) The adjuster (ADJUST) on the top of the Sensor Amplifier sets the resistance
value for detection within the set range. It is factory-set to the upper limit. (Normally, the K7L can
be used with the adjuster at this setting.) With any range, resistance values can be set from 0
Note: If the rightmost pin of the DIP switch on the side of the Sensor Amplifier is set to the down position,
the output turns ON when liquid is detected; if it is set to the up position, the output turns OFF when
liquid is detected.

• Set the sensing range according to the impedance of the liquid to
be detected. (If the sensing range DIP switch pins are set in a way
not shown above, the actual range used will be the largest one by
default.) For the setting method, refer to the label on the side of the
Sensor Amplifier.
• It is possible to set the resistance value within the set sensing
range using the resistance value adjuster. At time of delivery, it is
set to the largest possible value and this setting can be used for
normal use.
• The resistance value adjuster is a precision component. Do not
apply a torque to the resistance value adjuster in excess of the
specified one. Doing so may cause the resistance value adjuster to
be damaged.
Applicable torque:
• Rotational torque: 9.81 m N·m max.
• Detent strength: 29.4 m N·m min.

■ Countermeasures Against Noise
Noise Canceller Function for Highly
Sensitive Impedance Detection
The K7L Liquid Leakage Sensor Amplifier detects liquids with impedance as high as 50 M
cable that can be extended up to 50 meters. Countermeasures
against external noise are especially important for the Sensing Band
and connecting cable because they pick up external noise like an
antenna. The K7L incorporates the noise canceller function
described below.

Signal transmission

Connecting cable
Connected with 3-conductor Cable that
Offsets Inductive Noise (Patent Pending)
A VCT cable with three conductors (lines) is used. Line 1 is connected to the Sensing Band and line 2 is left open. Lines 1 and 2 are
almost in the same position and thus will experience the same noise
level. The K7L obtains the difference between these signals. This
means that the noise signals in lines 1 and 2 are offset against each
other and a reading for the signal, without inductive noise, can be
made.
