Baumer CleverLevel LBFS-2 Point Level Sensor
The Baumer CleverLevel LBFS-2 is a versatile capacitive point level sensor for the reliable detection of liquids and pasty media in industrial and hygienic applications. Thanks to the innovative CleverLevel measuring principle, the sensor detects a wide variety of media regardless of their properties, ensuring stable and reliable switch point detection.
Key Features
- Reliable point level detection for liquids and viscous media
- CleverLevel technology for automatic media adaptation
- Very high precision with < ±1 mm hysteresis and repeatability
- Fast response time (typ. 0.1 s)
- Flexible switching modes (Single Point, Two Point, Window Mode)
- Suitable for hygienic applications (FDA, 3-A, EHEDG)
- Rugged design for industrial and demanding environments
- Optionally available with ATEX and IECEx approvals
Description
The Baumer LBFS-2 point level sensor offers a universal solution for level monitoring in tanks, vessels and pipelines. Using the capacitive CleverLevel measuring principle, the sensor detects media based on their dielectric constant and automatically adapts to changing process conditions. This significantly reduces parameterization effort and enables reliable operation even with frequent media changes.
Thanks to its hygienic design and high-quality materials, the sensor is suitable for both the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as industrial processes. The fast response time and high repeatability ensure precise process control and increase operational safety.
