SICK LFP0800 Series TDR Level Sensor Level Sensor, Probe, Housing Plastic Polybutylene Terephthalate

Overview

The LFP Cubic is a level sensor for liquids using TDR technology – a process for determining the time of flight of electromagnetic waves. The time difference between the sent pulse and the reflected pulse is used to generate a level signal. The sensor can emit this a as continuous measured value (analogue output) and a freely positionable switching point (switching output). The LFP Cubic is compatible for use in virtually any liquid. Thanks to its modular probe, the sensor can be integrated quickly into any application.

It can even be used in deposit-forming and foaming liquids. The sensor’s intuitive setup uses four pushbuttons and a display to ensure quick and easy adaptation to the application. Remote amplifier, IO-Link interface, and a design which features a process connection in titanium are additional features for versatile use.
