Product Description
RF Admittance Level Switches
Our RF level switch is widely applied in various products such as Building industry materials, cement, sand, lime, milk powder, flour, salt, food grains, powder, granular, chemical and mining etc. These comprise of a specially designed electronics and sensing probe using Driven Shield Coat Guard circuit and corresponding 3-Element Probe.
The electro-mechanical combination of the Coat Guard technique is there makes the system immune to the material build-up on the probe and material bridging between the probe and the hopper wall. The measured signal does not flow to the hopper wall through the probe in the backward direction but flows only through the material.
The salient features of this level measuring instrument are as follow:
- Three Element Coat Guard Technology
- Can be configured either for High or Low Level point switching
- Reduces the Inventory cost
- Ignores material build-up on the probe
- Suitable for the highly dusty environment
- High Reliability
- Fast and Easy Installation Simple Calibration
- Field selectable operation logic
- Provides economical solutions
- Various models not required

Versatile Medium CompatibilityEngineered to deliver precise level measurement in a wide range of industrial processes, RF Admittance Level Switches work seamlessly with solids, liquids, and slurries. The stainless steel probe options (SS304/SS316) and IP65/IP67 rated enclosures ensure high performance even under demanding operating conditions, making this device suitable for food, chemical, and material handling industries.
User-Friendly Sensitivity & Delay AdjustmentWith user-selectable sensitivity and an adjustable switching delay (010 seconds), these level switches allow operators to fine-tune detection according to the medium and application. The response time is under 1 second, ensuring timely and accurate switching actions. An integrated LED provides clear status indication, further simplifying usage and monitoring.
FAQs of RF Admittance Level Switches:
Q: How does the RF Admittance Level Switch detect different types of materials?
A: The RF Admittance Level Switch operates on the principle of admittance, allowing it to accurately sense the presence of solids, liquids, and slurries. The device uses a stainless steel probe, which interacts with the process material, and the change in admittance triggers the relay output to indicate the level.
Q: What options are available for installing the level switch in my process setup?
A: Installation is flexible with 1" BSP/NPT threaded or customized flanged process connections. The mounting type and flange dimensions can be tailored to meet your process requirements, ensuring straightforward integration in existing and new systems.
Q: When is it recommended to adjust the sensitivity and switching delay?
A: You should adjust the sensitivity and switching delay to optimize detection based on the specific medium being monitored and the process dynamics. The user-selectable options help reduce false alarms and enhance reliability in applications with varying material properties or flow rates.
Q: Where can I monitor the status of the switch during operation?
A: A prominent LED indicator on the device provides clear status information. This visual cue allows operators to quickly assess whether the level has been detected, enabling more efficient system monitoring and maintenance.
Q: What is the main benefit of using this level switch in industrial automation?
A: The primary benefit lies in reliable level detection across diverse process conditions, minimal power consumption (<3W), compatibility with standard automation interfaces (relay NO+NC, SPDT), and long mechanical life (over 1,000,000 operations). These features optimize operational uptime and reduce maintenance interventions.
Q: How robust is the switch in terms of electrical and environmental protection?
A: The switch offers excellent electrical insulation resistance (100 M @ 500V DC) and is rated IP65/IP67 for environmental protection. It functions reliably in ambient temperatures from -10C to +70C, and in process temperatures ranging from -40C up to +85C.
Q: What support is available for obtaining or servicing this product in India?
A: These level switches are accessible through a wide network of dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, and service providers across India. This broad coverage ensures product availability, prompt support, and efficient after-sales service for users.
