OLS7 Series Optical Liquid Level Sensors

Product information "OLS7 Series Optical Liquid Level Sensors"

The OLS7 series is a liquid level sensor for single point liquid level detection. The sensor has an infra-red emitter and detector aligned within an accurately shaped cone to give good optical coupling when the sensor is in air. This coupling is greatly reduced, when the sensor is immersed in liquid, as the infra-red light escapes through the liquid rather than being reflected back to the detector.

The sensor has a transistor output, so it can be configured by the user for particular applications.
