Reliable Electrode-Based Liquid Level Detection
The Finder 072.500 operates as a conductive sensing element within a complete liquid level monitoring installation. When an electrically conductive liquid reaches the electrode, a suitable level control relay can detect the resulting conduction path between the electrode and a reference connection.
By installing electrodes at different heights, compatible systems can monitor minimum and maximum liquid levels or control filling and emptying operations. The 072.500 stainless steel electrode is used with suitable Finder holders and connection accessories to establish the required sensing positions.
The electrode itself does not contain a switching relay, electronic controller or power supply. Correct operation depends on the selected Finder level control relay, electrode arrangement, liquid conductivity and installation conditions. Chemical compatibility should be checked before use with aggressive or unusual liquids.
Typical Applications
- Industrial liquid storage tanks.
- Water level monitoring systems.
- Automatic tank filling and emptying control.
- Reservoir and cistern level detection.
- Pump control installations using compatible level relays.
- Industrial process vessels containing conductive liquids.
- Water treatment and handling equipment.
- Minimum and maximum liquid level sensing.
- Electrical automation panels with Finder Series 72 relays.
