Capacitance level switch OPTISWITCH 6500 C|6600 C Capacitance level switch for advanced hygienic applications* Point level detection of liquids, liquid-liquid interface and solids * Minimal insertion length: 12 mm / 0.47" * Conductivity: ±50 µs * -20…+200°C / -4…+392°F; -1…16 barg / -14.5…580 psig The OPTISWITCH 6500 is a capacitance level switch for level detection in hygienic applications or any environment requiring minimally invasive sensors. It detects low or high level and is often used as dry-run or overfill protection. The device is able to detect foam or even a change in media characteristics of the same liquid (e.g. degree of pollution of water). The microwave level switch is resistant to CIP and SIP agents. Product highlights * Unaffected by foam, condensate or build-up * Can be set to detect foam or even a change in media characteristics of the same liquid * For media with dielectric constant >1.5 * Very fast response times * Maintenance-free ‐ can be installed in any position * Wide variety of hygienic process connections available * Also available with a sliding connection for tanks with thick wall thickness / insulation or to overcome high process temperature * EHEDG and 3A certified; complies with FDA and EC1935/2004 Typical applications * Small tanks in hygienic applications * Tanks with tough, pasty or strongly adhesive media * Overflow protection, high/low-level detection, dry-run or pump protection in tanks * Interface detection * Detection of foam * Blockage prevention * Media recognition
