Gems Sensors & Controls (Gems), a global leader in
liquid level, pressure, and flow sensors, miniature solenoid valves, and
fluidic systems, introduces the new low cost, miniature ELS-950M Series of
Electro Optic Level Sensors (ELS) for a wide range of applications and
industries.
The ELS-950M Series expands on the existing ELS-950 product
line with a brass housing to perform in harsh environments, maintain integrity
in temperatures ranging from -40°F to +230°F and pressures to 250 psi. ELS-950M
liquid level sensors feature an over-molded electronics insert, TPE insulated wires,
and a flurocarbon O-ring seal to create a watertight, environmentally resistant
assembly. The ELS-950M is UL and CE approved to EMI standards and shock and
vibration tested to MIL standards, IP66/67 and RoHS compliant. These robust
sensors are available in 5 or 12 Vdc models with mounting options of ¼” NPT,
½”–20UNF-2B or M12x1-8.
“With the development of the ELS-950M Series, Gems has
continued to expand the broad offering of our ELS product line,” says Kevin
Castonguay, Product Marketing Manager for Gems Sensors & Controls. “The
product delivers a robust and reliable solution for OEM customers. The small,
solid-state sensor is durable enough to handle almost any application or
temperature.”
The compact size, durability, and low cost of the sensor
creates an excellent option for liquid level applications in medical diagnostic
equipment, sterilizers, washers, dialysis equipment; lubricant systems in
machine tools, generator sets, on- or off-road vehicles; hydraulic fluid
reservoirs; HVAC and refrigeration systems; radiators and fluid overflow
containers and OEM food and beverage applications.
