NON-CONTACT LEVEL TRANSMITTER

continuous level sensor

LW2720

NON-CONTACT LEVEL TRANSMITTER

  • 80 GHz frequency enables level measurement with millimetre precision of up to 10 metres
  • Non-contact measuring principle: no malfunctions due to deposits or wear
  • Certified for use in hygienic areas
  • Simple installation and maintenance-free operation
  • Remote sensor parameter setting and level monitoring via connection to the IT system
  • Intuitive set-up and visualisation of the measured data using the ifm Vision Assistant software
An IO-Link master and a parameter setting software (e.g. moneo or LR DEVICE) are required for initial set-up.
