Description

The model FLR sensors with reed-chain technology are used for level measurement in liquid media. They work on the float principle with magnetic transmission.

The float's magnetic system in the guide tube actuates a resistance measuring chain that corresponds to a 3-wire potentiometer circuit. The measurement voltage generated by this is proportional to the fill level.

The measurement voltage is very finely-stepped due to the contact separation of the measuring chain and is thus virtually continuous. Resolutions between 5 and 18 mm are available depending on the requirements
