Product Overview

Deeter LVCS-FP is an explosion proof and flameproof liquid level sensor suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

Deeter LVCS-FP is made from 316 stainless steel, available in standard or customised lengths of up to 4 metres and uses reed switch of Hall Effect sensing technology for control and indication of a liquid level.

Features

  • Suitable for gas and dust environments and for high liquid temperatures
  • ATEX & IECEx approvals
  • Voltage and current loop analogue output
  • Programmable set point triggers
  • M20 and ½”NPT cable connections
  • Narrow sensor stem and mounting for tanks without internal access
  • Flexible mounting option are possible

Technical Specification

The LVCS-FP hazardous area liquid level sensor holds ATEX & IECEx Ex d certification for use in most regions worldwide.
