High and low point level detection of liquids and bulk solids
Tuning forks and capacitive sensors are typically used for point level applications. Viscous media or can bridge between the forks and buildup on the face of a capacitive sensor can both cause false readings.
The LMC family of uses a frequency sweeping technology that detects the difference between buildup and actual media.
Pump run-dry
Starving a pump can cause costly damage. False detection makes protecting pumps from run-dry conditions difficult.
The LMC sensors eliminate downtime and reduce maintenance costs by easily detecting the difference between media and residue.
Level in parts washers
Foam and debris in parts washers cause float switches to stick or break.
The LMC sensor's rugged construction and electronics reduce failures from harsh environments. It also has two switch points that can be set independently to detect different media or to detect the difference between foam and media.
