Information

capacitive level transmitter / switch | LCC1

Product Description

general information:

The capacitive LCC1 oil meter and switch monitors the level of the oil in flat containers with heavily mobile oil surfaces (compressors, engine oil sumps, gearboxes...).

The LCC1 has a reference structure at the end of the sensor, which detects different oils (with different viscosity, at different temperatures) without recalibration.

The programmable filter calculates the running average, and thus reduces the variations in the output signal without affecting the accuracy negatively.

The hysteresis of the switching point can also be adjusted by setting parameters.

The electronics belong to the class of intelligent sensors and thus enable the use of the ECI-3 interface (configurator). The USB compatible interface is used in the production in order to program the parameters desired by the customer.
