SITRANS Capacitance Point Level Switches

SITRANS LCS050

Ultra-compact capacitance point level switch for water-based liquids with > 10 % water (alcohols, acids, cleaning agents), slurries and foam.

Key features

Ultra-compact liquids point level detection with IO-Link
  • Very small insertion length of 15 mm (0.59 inch)
  • Easy installation with no need for adjustment
  • Low maintenance with no moving parts
  • Highly visible 360-degree status indication
  • M12 connector for ease of installation
  • IO-Link communication for advanced monitoring and configuration

Applications

The SITRANS LCS050’s ultra-compact design, short insertion length of 15 mm (0.59 inch), and versatility in various applications in vessels or pipes, makes it a good replacement for traditional point level switches.

Its advanced alternating capacitance field at the sensor tip ensures material detection based on changes in capacitance, providing repeatable performance. The PEEK probe is chemically resistant with an effective process operating temperature range from ‑20 to +100 °C (‑4 to +212 °F) and supports sterilization in place at 135 °C (275 °F) for up to 1 hour. The product design ensures reliability in a vibrating environment such as agitated tanks up to 5 g.

  • Key Applications: water-based liquids with > 10 % water (alcohols, acids, cleaning agents), slurries and foam for point level, overfill and dry run protection including small pipes due to its compact design.
