vt3 – level sensor,3x1m ss probe

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VT3 Conductive Level Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VT3 is a robust conductive level probe designed for reliable level detection and control of electrically conductive liquids in industrial tanks, vessels and process systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VT series, it features three stainless-steel electrodes that provide multiple sensing points for applications such as maximum/minimum level monitoring, filling and emptying control.

The VT3 operates using the conductive sensing principle, whereby contact between a conductive liquid and the electrodes enables a compatible level controller to determine the liquid level. The three electrodes are supplied at a standard length of 1 m and can be shortened to suit the required sensing levels within the application.

Featuring three 1 m AISI 316 stainless-steel electrodes with a diameter of 5 mm, a chemically resistant PTFE housing, 1½-inch pipe thread and fixed 1 m silicone cable, the VT3 provides a durable solution for demanding process environments. Its IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of 0 to +145 °C further support use in challenging industrial installations.

Reliable Multi-Point Conductive Liquid Level Detection

Conductive level probes detect liquid by using the electrical conductivity of the monitored medium to establish a sensing circuit when the liquid contacts the electrodes. When the VT3 is connected to a compatible Carlo Gavazzi level controller, its three-electrode arrangement can support functions such as maximum and minimum level control, pump operation, filling and emptying control.

The Carlo Gavazzi VT3 combines three robust stainless-steel probes with a chemically resistant PTFE housing and high-temperature capability. The standard 1 m electrodes can be cut to the required lengths, allowing individual sensing points to be positioned according to the level-control requirements of the tank or vessel.

Typical Applications

• Industrial tank level monitoring and control.
• Maximum and minimum conductive liquid level detection.
• Pump filling and emptying control systems.
• Water and municipal water installations.
• Pump protection and process control systems.
• Industrial vessels containing electrically conductive liquids.
