SICK – LFP Inox Sensor

The LFP Inox is a hygienic 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, both as a continuous value (analog output) and a freely positional switching point (switching output). Its modular connection system allows simple and flexible installation in any application.

Description

The LFP Inox is a hygienic 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, both as a continuous value (analog output) and a freely positional switching point (switching output). Its modular connection system allows simple and flexible installation in any application.

  • Level measurement in hygienic applications
  • Rod probe can be cut to length manually up to 4,000 mm long with Ra ≤ 0.8 µm
  • Process temperature up to 180 °C, process pressure up to 16 bar
  • CIP/SIP-resistant
  • High enclosure rating: IP 67 and IP 69, autoclavable
  • Interchangeable hygienic process connections
  • 3 in 1: combines display, analog output, and binary output
  • Remote amplifier with process connection
  • IO-Link 1.1
  • Rugged design increases service life
  • High flexibility – rod probe can be cut to length and connection concept is interchangeable.
  • Cost savings because of multiple output signals: one system for both point level and continuous level measurement
  • Maintenance-free and easy to commission without calibration, saving time and money.
  • Remote display of measured values and saves space

APPLICATIONS

• Level monitoring in buffer tanks of filling systems and filling    machines
• Level monitoring in rinsing systems
• Level monitoring in CIP systems
• Level measurement in mixing systems in the cosmetics and        pharmaceuticals industry
• Level monitoring in industrial processes with difficult ambient conditions
