NEK - Compact Conductive Level Switches

 FEATURES

  • Compact Design
  • No Moving Parts
  • Excellent For Dirty, Low Viscosity or Aggressive Liquids
  • Transistor Switch or Relay Outputs Available
  • Ryton or Polypropylene Bodies


GENERAL DESCRIPTION


The NEK series compact conductive level switch is an excellent choice for monitoring the level of conductive liquids in tanks. The NEK series conductive level switch senses liquid level by applying a low AC voltage to a set of stainless steel electrodes. When a conductive liquid is present a small current will flow between the electrodes, resulting in switch activation.

The NEK compact level switch is available with either a Ryton or polypropylene body with 316-Ti stainless steel electrodes standard. This makes the NEK suitable for many chemicals and aggressive media. The solid state design has no moving parts so the NEK is also a sure bet for dirty liquids as well as those with high solids content.
