KROHNE Optiswitch 5200 L=180mm level gauge
OPTISWITCH 5200 is a vibration level indicator with a rod extension for technological processes
- Detection of the nominal value of the liquid level
- Sensor length up to 6000 mm
- Density: ≥0.5 g/cm3
- -50...+250°C; -1...64 bar
The OPTISWITCH 5200 is a vibration level detector with a rod extension of the sensor. This universal device is designed to determine the level of liquids in containers. The level detector is mainly used for overflow detection, dry running protection or pump protection.
Distinctive features of the device
- Large selection of process fittings and housing materials
- Process connection options for high temperatures up to +250°C /+482°F
- Outputs: relay, transistor, 2-wire, NAMUR or contactless electronic switch
- Optionally available gas-tight passageway for use with toxic gases
- The possibility of use in explosive and non-explosive zones
- Compliance with SIL2 requirements
Typical Applications
- Protection against dry running of pumps
- Limit level and overflow detection
- Liquid detection in pipelines
- SIL2 Circuits /Automated Security Systems
