■
Applications
The OPL series of sensors are
designed for low cost liquid level
monitoring and leak detection.
Typical industries served are:
semiconductor, clean water,
pharmaceutical, automotive OEM,
machine tool, home appliances such
as oil fitted heaters, and electrical
equipment such as liquid insulated
transformers and capacitors.
The optical principle employed
is suitable for pure liquids (no
suspended solids to coat sensor and
block optical beam). Typical liquids
sensed are: petroleum and vegetable
oils (diesel, kerosene, gasoline,
hydraulic, lubricant, transmission
fluid), alcohols (ethyl, methyl),
ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and pure
water (DI or distilled water).
■
Options
Polysulphone sensor body will
allow for use in caustic liquids
such as acids and alkalines. Check
chemical compatibility tables at the
APG website or other sources for
specific compatibility.
