High Pressure Single Point Optical Level Switch
HIGH PRESSURE, SINGLE POINT LEVEL SWITCH
- Fused Glass Prism for High Pressures
- Excellent Price-to- Performance Ratio
- Ideal for Corrosive Environments
The LVE-115/116 electro-optic level switches maintain the top-performing environmental capabilities of their larger family members while featuring an overall size that is 50% smaller. At just 35 mm (1.38") long, LVE-115/116 represents the smallest electro-optic level sensor in its performance class, and by far the most economical. LVE-115/116 switches utilize a strong, glass prism fused to a carbon steel or housing to easily monitor vessels pressurized up to 2500 psi. Their compact package size makes them the ideal candidate for monitoring the small, pressurized vessels found in HVAC, refrigeration and hydraulic applications. They are most commonly used for low, high and intermediate level detection.

At what point does the sensor register the level and switch "on"? E.G. 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1 ?
Thank you for your inquiry! These sensors register level and switch when the prism/tip is fully immersed causing the light to be refracted into the liquid rather than reflected within the prism.
