The Advanced Smartlevel sensor combines standard capacitive sensing technology and the patented Smartlevel technology, enabling the ability to detect solids and highly conductive acids and bases. The sensor is housed in 316 stainless steel. The PEEK sensing nose will provide protection against sticky and adhesive materials. This combination of housing materials gives the sensor an IP69 rating, making it suitable for use in autoclaves for 1 hr. When used with the proper mounting accessories the sensor can be used in hygienic applications. It is integrated into control systems using either discrete outputs or with IO-Link communication.
