The capacitive limit switches TS-KGS are designed to monitor level limits of liquids in non-conductive sight tubes and plastic or glass vessels. Depending on the selected design, the sensor will be installed directly on the sight tube by plastic straps or on the vessel wall with a self adhesive layer. The installation position on the sight tube or on the vessel wall is the height of the level limit which is to be monitored. The maximum possible thickness of the vessel wall is depending on the permittivity ε (dielectric conductivity) of the filling medium. The Configuration of the capacitive level limit switch TS-KGS takes place fast and simple by using the magnetic pen MP8, which is included in the delivery. The TS-KGS-25 is available with a PNP transistor output with open collector or a two wire electronic switch. The two wire electronic switch design can be attached directly to a relay or a control with binary inlet.
