LFH
Product description
The level probe LFH is a robust pressure
transmitter for continuous level measure-
ment. The liquid column above the probe
creates a hydrostatic pressure which
is a direct indicator for the liquid level.
Through its permanently connected ca-
ble the LFH is submerged into the liquid.
The precise measurement technology
is integrated in a robust stainless steel
housing. To meet the diverse require-
ments, the level probe LFH is available
in two versions, standard and enhanced.
For the enhanced variant there is a
number ot options available that extend
the range ot applioations signitoantly
suoh as a maximum oable length ot
250 m (standard version: 100 m), an
integrated temperature measurement, a
surge protection and a connection cable
with highly resistant FEP sheathing (up
to 100 m).
At a glance
Immersion depth up to 100 m (op-
tionally up to 250 m)
Available with various cable lengths
Measuring ranges from 0 bar
0.1 bar up to 0 bar 25 bar
Stainless steel membrane
Hermetically sealed stainless steel
housing with PA protection cap
Cable made from PUR, FEP-cable for
aggressive media optionally available
Optional temperature measurement
with integrated Pt100 element
Optional surge protection
Your benets
Enables level measurement under dif-
toult oonditions where other meas-
urement technologies fail
Rugged and reliable through robust
mechanical design and high-grade
materials
For cleaning purposes the probe can
easily be taken out of the liquid
No openings required in the wall of
the vessel
