Cynergy3 OLSx Optical Liquid Level Sensors

Cynergy3 OLSx Optical Liquid Level Sensors are ideal for single-point liquid level detection. These cost-effective, high-reliability sensors feature an infrared emitter and detector aligned within a cone for optimum optical coupling. The sensors offer a transistor output that allows users to configure the output to meet particular applications. These sensors are available in OLS2, OLS5 and OLS7 series.

OLSx Series Optical Liquid Level Sensors are available in M10x1, M12x1, and 1/4"NPT external mount threads and can be mounted on either the side or the bottom of a tank. The sensors are available in high and low-voltage variants and find applications for high/low-level indications and automated refilling.
