SICK Guided Radar Level Radar Threaded Vertical Mount with Polytetrafluoroethylene Gasket LFP1000-A5NMC

SICK LFP1000-A5NMC is a guided radar level sensor designed for precise and maintenance-free liquid level measurement in industrial environments. Featuring a robust plastic polybutylene terephthalate housing combined with chemically resistant polytetrafluoroethylene gasket material, it ensures durability and reliability under harsh process conditions.

Utilizing Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology, the sensor measures the time of flight of electromagnetic pulses to determine fluid level accurately, without any mechanical moving parts, which extends service life and reduces maintenance.

The modular design includes an interchangeable rod probe, which can be cut to lengths between 200 mm and 2,000 mm, while the cable probe option supports lengths up to 4,000 mm. This flexibility allows easy integration into various tank sizes and configurations. The sensor supports process temperatures up to 100 °C and pressures up to 10 bar, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Equipped with a 3-in-1 output system, the device offers a display, analog output conforming to NAMUR NE 43 standards, and a binary switching output, thereby enabling simultaneous point level and continuous level monitoring. The high IP67 rated enclosure and rotatable housing facilitate flexible mounting and installation. Additionally, the sensor supports IO-Link 1.1 communication protocol, allowing advanced diagnostics and parameterization remotely.

This sensor excels in environments with liquids prone to deposits or foaming, providing reliable measurements without the need for calibration. Its rugged design ensures high availability through the prevention of signal interference when multiple sensors are installed parallelly.

Applications of the LFP1000-A5NMC include monitoring coolant and lubricants in machine tooling, detergent levels in cleaning equipment, fluid levels in automotive assembly tanks, and hydraulic fluid monitoring under challenging ambient conditions. It is ideal for industrial, manufacturing, HVAC, and water treatment sectors requiring dependable liquid level sensing.

The level sensor uses Guided Wave Radar (TDR) technology to measure liquid levels without moving parts. Interchangeable rod probe adjustable from 200 mm to 2,000 mm, with cable probe option up to 4,000 mm. Operates in process temperatures up to 100 °C and pressures up to 10 bar.

Features 3-in-1 output: display, analog output per NAMUR NE 43, and binary switching output. High IP67 enclosure rating with rotatable housing and remote amplifier for flexible installation. Equipped with IO-Link 1.1 interface for advanced device communication.

Constructed with plastic polybutylene terephthalate housing and polytetrafluoroethylene gasket for chemical resistance. Suitable for industrial liquids including deposit-forming and foaming liquids, requiring no calibration.
