VP04EP

VP04EP Application Field and Working Principle

VP04EP is a float level sensor suitable for measuring both hydrostatically and mechanically. It is made of durable and corrosion resistant components making it ideal for use in harsh environments. The sensor’s design is based on a simple float mechanism with supporting points of contact, minimizing the chance of failure due to wear and tear from the element.

Application Field

VP04EP is ideal for measuring liquid levels in a variety of applications, such as tank level, open channel flow, sewage treatment, and water supply systems. Due to its versatile design, it can also be used for measuring suspended solids, oils, and other liquids. Additionally, because it is pressure resistant, it is suitable for applications such as monitoring pressure in pipes and tanks.

Principle

The VP04EP float level sensor’s working principle is based on a special float which rises or falls to its desired position within a predetermined linear measurement range, depending on the liquid’s level. The float has two supporting points of contacts, allowing it to move freely within the measurement range. Furthermore, the sensor’s short, flexible cable allows for quick and easy installation, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.

When the VP04EP is exposed to a change in liquid level, the float starts to move up or down, this then causes the contacts to shift away or toward each other accordingly. This change of contact is sensed and registered by a micro-controller unit, which then produces a signal proportional to the detected change. This signal is then referred to the controller for interpretation.

The VP04EP float level sensor is based on an entirely digital signal processor and is thus more reliable than conventional mechanical and electro-mechanical level sensing technologies. Moreover, the sensor is pressure resistant, making it an ideal choice for applications such as monitoring pressure in pipes or tanks.

Conclusion

The VP04EP float level sensor is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, due to its simple design, pressure resistance and its use of a float mechanism for measuring liquids. The sensor is an efficient and reliable option for measuring both hydrostatically and mechanically. Its quick and easy installation makes it an ideal choice for numerous uses.
