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.

- 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
