LLE datasheet march 2006.pdf
LLE Order Guide.pdf




The type 5 LLE series is the smallest of the range. It is a 10mm diameter sensor and is flange mounted . The sesnor is installed internally and uses a push fit. 

The Optical Liquid Level Sensor uses a photo-transistor trigger which provides a digital output that denotes the presence or absence of liquid. This series incorporates reverse polarity, over voltage, short circuit and transient protection.

Features, Solid state technology, Small size , Digital output, Pre-wired , Electrically robust

Benefits, Accurate repeatable switching point, Can be mounted in applications where space is limited , Microprocessor compatible, easy to install, saving assembly time. 

Typical Applications, Home appliances, Spa baths, Vending machines, food and beverage, medical, compressors, machine tools
