Gems Sensors & Controls Electro-Optic Level Switch

Gems Sensors & Controls has introduced the solid-state Electro-Optic Level Switch for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

At 35 mm long, the ELS-1150 is upgraded with a microprocessor board design to provide a range of capabilities including sinking and sourcing and time delay outputs. The strong fused glass prism eliminates leak potential and is capable of handling extreme temperature and pressure applications up to 172 bar.

With its fused glass prism, the device is a leak-proof solution for OEMs requiring a small, solid-state sensor that is durable enough to handle corrosive liquids at any temperature or pressure range.

The series is available in versions with wide voltage ranges and temperature ranges up to 125°C (ELS-1150XP). Built with solid-state reliability, the sensor is available in nickel-plated carbon steel or stainless steel.

The compact size of the sensors makes them suitable for monitoring the small, pressurised vessels found in HVAC, refrigeration and hydraulic applications and are most commonly used for low-, high- and intermediate-level detection. The stainless steel version (ELS-1150SS) is suitable for applications requiring corrosion resistance and for acids, solvents and dielectric water as well as numerous applications within medical and petroleum applications.
