Description

Product Overview

The BL Series photoelectric liquid level sensors are expertly engineered to detect the presence or absence of liquid in transparent pipes with diameters ranging from 6 to 13 mm and a thickness of less than 1 mm. These sensors offer the flexibility of selecting between Light ON and Dark ON operation modes via a simple mode switch, making them highly adaptable to various environments. Their compact design ensures easy installation and seamless integration into systems where space is at a premium. The BL Series is an ideal solution for non-contact liquid detection in transparent pipes, offering reliable performance and ease of use.


Key Features

  • Compact Size: With dimensions of W 23 × H 14 × L 13 mm, the BL Series sensors are designed to fit into tight spaces, making them perfect for applications where size is a critical factor.
  • Precise Liquid Detection: Capable of detecting liquid in transparent or semi-transparent pipes with diameters ranging from 6 to 13 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. This ensures accurate detection in a variety of settings.
  • Selectable Operation Modes: Users can easily switch between Light ON and Dark ON operation modes using the built-in mode switch, providing flexibility in sensor application.
  • Easy Status Monitoring: Equipped with a green operation mode indicator and a red operation indicator, the BL Series sensors allow for quick and easy monitoring of the sensor's status.
  • Protection Circuits: The sensors include reverse power protection and output short overcurrent protection circuits, ensuring reliable and safe operation in diverse environments.
  • Optional Protection Bracket: A protection bracket (sold separately) is available for Ø12.7 mm (1/2 inch) pipes, offering additional protection from external environmental factors.
  • IP64 Protection Rating: These sensors are rated IP64 according to IEC standards, providing robust resistance to dust and water, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.

Product Components

  • BL Series Sensor Unit
  • Binding Bands: Two binding bands suitable for Ø6 to 13 mm pipes.
  • Instruction Manual: Comprehensive manual for easy installation and operation.
  • Anti-Slip Tubes: Two anti-slip tubes for enhanced stability.

Applications
