Data Sheet

Conductivity Switch Series


- A level switch for liquids and slurrys The Gladiator Conductivity Switch is a third generation, stateof-the-art level probe, designed to operate in tough industrial environments.

Principle of Operations

A low voltage AC signal is applied between the probe electrode and the tank wall or reference electrode in the case of a non-metallic tank. When the liquid comes into contact with the electrode tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the metallic tank wall/reference electrode. Current flow due to the conductive path is sensed, amplified and used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.

Typical Uses

Fail-safe high-level/low-level alarm High-level alarm Low-level alarm High and low-level Interface Detection Pump control

Function

Point level switch for conductive liquids. Metallic tanks may use either single or dual probe versions whilst non metallic tanks must used a dual probe version.

Features:

Primary Areas of Application


- Brewing - Chemical - Dairy - Edible Oil - Fertilizer - Food & Beverage - Glass - Mining & Metals - Oil & Gas - Packaging

- Paint - Paper - Pharmaceutical - Power Generation - Refining - Semiconductor - Sugar - Textile - Water & Wastewater

No moving parts - low maintenance Low voltage on probe for operational safety Simple 1-minute setup Remote sensor or Smart all in one types Relays outputs: Smart probe (1) Remote (2) Remote test function Adjustable ON and OFF delays (0-20 sec) Smart communication options: GosHawk, Modbus, HART, Profibus DP, DeviceNet Remote GSM Connection option Remote amplifier to probe separation up to 500 m (1640 ft) Bright visual status indication on probe Independent housing alignment after mounting thread locked

Typical Applications

Sump pump control

Non-metallic tank

High level switch in water tank

Mounting Examples

Mounting

Probes can be mounted from above or from the side. Use a protection plate for side mounting where the probe may be subject to impact damage. Install the Probe far enough away from the vessel wall to prevent the probe from coming into contact with the wall, and prevent conductive build-up from bridging the probe to the wall over time.
