PLS2
Paddle Level Switch
3 Sensitivity Settings, Top or Side Mounting
The Series PLS2 is an electromechanical level switch designed for level monitoring of
bulk materials. The rotating measuring vane is driven by a brushless synchronous motor
at one revolution per minute. As product builds up, the paddle rotation is impeded and the
result ing motor torque activates the output switch and stops the motor. A spring
mechanism reactivates the motor and returns the switch to normal state when the material
no longer impedes the paddle rotation. A torque adjusting mechanism eliminates the need
for different sized paddles. The PLS2 is designed with the industry standard 1-1/4˝ male
NPT connection and unit can be side or top mounted.
FEATURES
• 3 sensitivity settings
• Top or side mountable
• Brushless synchronous motor: Assures long term reliability and efficiency
• Motor shuts off when paddle stalls
• Screw cover: For easy access with no worries about losing bolts or screws
APPLICATION
• Level monitoring of bulk materials
