SST Sensing’s optical liquid level switches are solid state, so there are no unreliable moving parts. They are compact, only protrude a small distance into the application and are able to detect small amounts of liquid.
The intelligent liquid level sensors have low sensitivity to ambient light and are not affected by foam when in air, or small bubbles when in liquid.
Their ability to survive in wide operating temperatures and harsh liquid media for long periods of time result in a very robust switch.
If our standard range of optical liquid level switches do not meet your requirements, housings, cabling and connectors can be customised to suit your application needs. We can also incorporate built-in features like PWM outputs and insensitivity to moving liquids.
See our range below.
