Product Specification

LLE Series Liquid Level Sensors Description

The enhanced series of liquid level sensors incorporates a photo-transistor trigger which provides a digital output that denotes the presence or absence of liquid.


The mode of operation is derived from the principle of total internal reflection. An LED and photo-transistor are housed within a plastic dome at the head of the device. When no liquid is present, light from the LED is internally reflected from the dome to the photo-transistor. When liquid covers the dome, the effective refractive index at the dome-liquid boundary changes, allowing some light from the LED to escape. Thus the amount of light received by the photo- transistor is reduced and the output switches, indicating the presence of liquid. This method of liquid level sensing is very fast, and almost instantaneous for water.

Notes:
[Note 1] Material compatibility information available on request.
[Note 2] Threaded sensors only.
[Note 3] For other ambient light environments the user should test the sensor under application conditions to verify compatibility.
[Note 4] The output is intended as a TTL compatible output signal, for interfacing to logic systems. For interfacing with other types of circuitry an appropriate buffer circuit must be used.
