Good bye to age old float operated

Level switches…
The Nano is here…

ELS NANO
SINGLE POINT ELECTRONIC LEVEL SWITCH
For Steam / water interfaces
Reliable detection of water/steam level is essential for the safe operation of any water containing
device. Very high level may lead to an overflow whereas very low level may cause overheating
resulting in damage to collateral equipments as well.

Levelstate Electronic Level Switch (ELS) Nano provides a reliable and cost effective means of sensing
water/steam level in high pressure applications. ELS Nano is based on the conductivity probe principle
where resistivityy discrimination between water and steam is used to p
provide the required
q indication.

Levelstate ELS Nano is an effective and economical replacement to the float type level switch.

The system consists of an electronic unit, a conductivity probe, a probe insert/standpipe and a length of
probe cable. The conductivity probe can be mounted directly on the vessel through a probe insert or a
side arm standpipe.
