Optical level switch

SICK has introduced a new optical level sensor switch for aqueous fluids. Designed for robust level monitoring of a range of liquid media, the FDA-compliant MHF15 is suitable for a variety of applications, including tank level monitoring or dry running protection for pumps.

The plug-and-play solution, which requires no calibration and minimal maintenance, can be used for overfill protection and low level indication in tanks to monitor the presence or absence of liquids.

The MHF15 is suitable for installations or conditions with limited space. Featuring a stainless steel housing and polysulfone apex, the switch meets IP67 and IP69K standards, which helps to ensure protection from dust, dirt and water; even during a caustic washdown routine.
