Conductive level sensor  

- Type NKS 11 - 

 

 
     

 

 
 

              

 

 

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION

  

  

 
The conductive level sensors are mainly used to detect conductive threshold levels in liquids such as fruit juices, beer, 
milk, etc. with a minimum conductivity of 5 µS.  
 
The favourable design, with its sealing cone and the corresponding welding sockets, means that there are no places in 
which residues can collect. The sensor is therefore easy to clean and suitable for use in the food and pharmaceutical 
industry, etc. CIP- and SIP-suitability are guaranteed. 
 
The non-corrosive materials used for the rod and insulation mean that the sensor is also suitable for corrosive media. 
Various process connection forms render optimal adaptation to the application possible. The sensor can be shortened, 
which has a positive and practical effect on storage. The electrode is coated with HALAR, which means that the 
threshold level detection is also suitable for foaming media.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Electrode length 

200, 500, 800, 1500 mm, can 
be shortened, other lengths on 
request  

- the maximum permissible torque (15 Nm) must be 
  taken into account when fitting the sensor 

Operating temperature 

max. 140 ºC 

 

- the tank or pipe wall must be made of metal 

Environmental 
temperature
