New contactless level sensor

[Matthias]

next week we will get the new contactless level sensor

they are just sticked on the glas of the tank (outside) and look like this:

Can you explain how this will work

Attach it to the side of the tank glass (external) using the supplied tape at the desired height.

Make sure internal glass is kept clean.

Ah, So it is optical.

[siskiou]

Great!
Will this run on a splitter, along with a mechanical float switch?

[Matthias]

it is not optical, it works with electromagnetic waves

yes, it works with splitter like all other level sensors

yes, it works with splitter like all other level sensors

Is there a maximum glass thickness that these will operate through?
Thanks

Does this mean it can effect the reading of ORP / PH (and other probes) due to interferance?

Hi Steve,

good question

we tested it with 20mm thick glass and it worked

no, too small signal
