Compact and Reliable Level Detection for Versatile Applications

The SITRANS LCS050 offers versatile application possibilities, making it a reliable choice for point level detection in a wide range of environments. Thanks to its ultra-compact design, with a short insertion length of only 15 mm, it can easily be installed in confined spaces such as small vessels and pipes, replacing traditional point level switches. Its advanced capacitance field technology ensures accurate material detection, while the chemically resistant PEEK probe operates effectively across a wide temperature range. The LCS050 is perfect for various applications, including agitated tanks, where it can withstand vibrations up to 5 g.

Key Applications:

• Water-based liquids with >10% water (e.g., alcohols, acids, cleaning agents)
• Slurries and foam detection
• Overfill protection
• Dry-run protection
• Small pipe installations.

Reliable Installation for Accurate Switching with the SITRANS LCS050

The SITRANS LCS050 can be mounted in any position to ensure precise switching point detection for both overflow protection (upper level) and dry-run protection (lower level or pump protection). The installation of the transmitter must place it exactly at the desired switching point, but the specific placement may vary depending on the type of medium and the transmitter's orientation. To protect against moisture, especially in outdoor or high-humidity environments, it is important to securely tighten the plug connector and position the connection cable downward. Proper installation, using the hexagon above the thread for mounting, ensures a reliable seal, even under maximum process pressure.
