Optoelectronic Level Switch - OLS-C04

Brand: WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG

The model OLS-C04 optoelectronic level switch is used for monitoring the level of liquids. The optoelectronic sensor consists of an infrared LED and a light receptor.

The light from the LED is directed at a prism which forms the tip of the sensor. So long as the tip is not immersed in liquid, the light is reflected within the prism to the receiver.
