Introduction

Proximity sensors are physical devices used to detect either a presence or the distance between two objects. This technology has been used in a variety of industrial applications for several decades. Specifically, one of the most widely used and versatile proximity sensors is the Proximity Level Meter Model 5MY1 (TL-M5MY1). This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application field and working principle of TL-M5MY1.

Application Field

The TL-M5MY1 is a capacitance-based proximity sensor designed for measuring liquid levels. It is typically used in oil, gas, chemical, and petrochemical industrial applications, as well as outdoor water tanks. The sensor can be mounted on the side of a tank or container and is capable of providing reliable and accurate level measurements up to 25 meters. The TL-M5MY1 has an accuracy of 0.3-1.0mm with a resolution of 1 kg/cm2. In addition, its inner ceramic shell provides strong resistance to corrosive chemical environments. The TL-M5MY1 is designed with several key features, including:

• Integrated LCD display
• multi-point measurement
• adjustable detection ranges between 5-25m
• flashing alerting LED lights

The LCD display allows for easy reading of the liquid level. The multi-point measurement capability allows for further accuracy when taking readings at different levels. In addition, the adjustable detection ranges allows for the device to be set up to detect specific levels of liquid in a tank or container. Finally, the flashing alerting LED lights provide a simple indication of liquid levels.

Working Principle

The TL-M5MY1 operates using an electrostatic field to measure the distance between two objects. The sensor produces an electrostatic field which is then disturbed by the density of the liquid it is measuring. The sensor uses the disturbed electrostatic field to calculate the level of the liquid, which is then displayed on the LCD screen.The TL-M5MY1 operates in three main phases. The first phase involves the TL-M5MY1 generating an electrostatic field in the tank or container. During this phase, the sensor also measures and adjusts the strength of the generated electrostatic field to optimal levels. The second phase of operation involves the sensor detecting any fluctuations in the electrostatic field. These fluctuations indicate the presence of liquid in the tank or container. Finally, in the third phase of operation, the sensor calculates the level of the liquid based on the detected fluctuations and then displays the result on the LCD screen.

Conclusion

The Proximity Level Meter Model 5MY1 (TL-M5MY1) is a versatile and reliable proximity sensor that can be used in a variety of industrial applications. The TL-M5MY1 operates by generating an electrostatic field, which is disturbed by the liquid in the tank or container. The sensor then uses these disturbances to accurately measure the level of the liquid, which is then displayed on the LCD display. TL-M5MY1 offers adjustable detection ranges, multi-point measurement capability, and flashing alerting LED lights, making it an ideal choice for detecting liquid levels.
