Capacitance level switch for advanced hygienic applications • Point level detection of liquids, liquid-liquid interface and solids • Minimal insertion length: 12 mm / 0.47′ • Conductivity: ±50 µs • -20…+200°C / -4…+392°F, -1…16 barg / -14.5…580 psig The OPTISWITCH 6500 is a capacitance level switch for level detection in hygienic applications or any environment requiring minimally invasive sensors. It detects low or high level and is often used as dry-run or overfill protection. The device is able to detect foam or even a change in media characteristics of the same liquid (e.g. degree of pollution of water). The microwave level switch is resistant to CIP and SIP agents. Product highlights • Unaffected by foam, condensate or build-up • Can be set to detect foam or even a change in media characteristics of the same liquid • For media with dielectric constant >1.5 • Very fast response times • Maintenance-free ‐ can be installed in any position • Wide variety of hygienic process connections available • Also available with a sliding connection for tanks with thick wall thickness / insulation or to overcome high process temperature • EHEDG and 3A certified, complies with FDA and EC1935/2004 Typical applications • Small tanks in hygienic applications • Tanks with tough, pasty or strongly adhesive media • Overflow protection, high/low-level detection, dry-run or pump protection in tanks • Interface detection • Detection of foam • Blockage prevention • Media recognition
