2. Automobile Factory Hydraulic Station Oil Level Monitoring System

Application Goal: Monitor oil levels of 5 hydraulic stations to ensure stable operation and prevent oil shortage failure

Основные преимущества: Vibration-resistant screw terminal design; oil-resistant PBTP housing; field-cuttable electrodes adaptable to various tank heights

System Configuration: VNY 4 NS/NT (481046) × 5 + S196 amplifier + indicator light + buzzer

Operation Effect: Equipment failure rate reduced by 40%, maintenance cycle doubled

Not Recommended Applications

Non-conductive liquids: Such as pure oil, alcohol, acetone; not detectable by conductive sensors

High temperature >90°С: Adopt VPP series (up to 100°C) or high-temperature versions

Рабочее давление >10 бар: Special high-pressure level sensor required

Strong corrosive media: Concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid; use VPP series with PVDF electrodes or anti-corrosion coated models

6. Установка & Wiring Guidelines

Требования к установке

1. Mounting Position: Install on tank top or side, away from inlet ports and agitators; ensure vertical electrode immersion
2. Electrode Cutting: Cut electrode length on-site according to actual liquid level; deburr the end after cutting for accuracy
3. Sealing: Use suitable gaskets (PTFE recommended) for leak-tight installation to maintain IP67 protection
4. Earthing Requirement: Conductive tank body can serve as common electrode; non-conductive tanks require separate common electrode grounding
5. Spacing Requirement: Keep ≥50mm between electrodes and between electrodes and tank wall to avoid signal interference

Core Terminal Definition

Ключевые моменты ввода в эксплуатацию

1. Electrode Setting: Define corresponding level heights for each electrode (например. E1=Low, E2=Medium, E3=High, E4=Ultra-high)
2. Sensitivity Adjustment: Adjust amplifier relay sensitivity to avoid false triggering caused by foam or clinging liquid
3. Функциональный тест: Simulate level changes to verify accurate switching action and response time
4. Insulation Check: For non-insulated type, ensure no short circuit between electrodes and tank wall; check insulation integrity for insulated type
5. Environmental Adaptation Test: Verify long-term stability within rated temperature and pressure range
6. Правила выбора & Quick Reference

Рекомендации по выбору

1. Liquid Type: Choose VNY series for conductive liquids; use capacitive or ultrasonic sensors for non-conductive liquids
2. Electrode Quantity: 1=single point, 2=high/low, 3=high/medium/low, 4=four-point full control
3. Electrode Insulation: NS for normal liquids; IS insulated type for viscous wall-adhering media
4. Тип подключения: NT screw terminal for vibration environments; CB cable type for long-distance installation
5. Mounting Thread: 1 1/2″ for large tanks, 1″ for medium, 1/2″ for small containers
6. Температура & Pressure: VNY for 0–90°C / 10 бар; VPP for higher temperature; special models for higher pressure
