The ifm efector LMT Series Level Sensor monitors levels in vessels and tanks or ensure run-dry protection of pumps. Featuring high-quality housing materials such as stainless steel or PEEK as well as hygienic process connections, the sensors are particularly suited for the food and beverage industry. Numerous international approvals or certifications such as EHEDG, 3A and FDA allow the use of the sensors in hygienic applications.

The units can be used in almost all liquids, viscous media and bulk materials. They can detect extremely adhering (e.g. ketchup) or non-conductive media (e.g. vegetable oil). Deposits and foam are suppressed reliably. The device provides two switching outputs that can be set independently of each other so it is even possible to differentiate between two media.

The sensors are offered with different probe lengths. Each LMT sensor is factory-set to a specific medium. For special requirements, the sensitivity and further functions can be adjusted to the corresponding application. Splashes, wave movements and air bubbles can be compensated by setting a switching delay.

The parameters can be set using a USB interface. The LINERECORDER SENSOR software is used to visualize, transfer and archive parameter sets.
