MODEL 409
Liquid Level
Controller
Automatic control of liquid level
Solid-state sensing circuit
Adjustable sensitivity
5-Year Unconditional Warranty
DESCRIPTION
The Model 409 is a compact, socket-mount device for
level control of conductive liquids. The internal relay is
energized when operating power is applied. When the
liquid level reaches the probe, the relay de-energizes.
When the level drops below the probe, the relay will
reset. A fixed, two second time delay prevents oscillation due to wave action. Probe cables may be shielded
or unshielded. If the liquid container is made of a nonconductive material, a common electrode is required.
Other features include an LED indicator to show the
output relay status and an adjustable sensitivity setting.
Requires standard 8-pin octal socket (socket number
51X00120-01).
