IFM LK8122 Electronic Level Sensor

Product overview

The ifm LK8122 (LK0264B-B-00KVPKG/US) is a capacitive electronic level sensor for hydrous coolants, oils, oil-based media, water and media similar to water. The probe is 264 mm long with an active range of 195 mm and inactive ranges I1 / I2 of 53 / 16 mm; switch points can be set over 25…200 mm in 5 mm steps. ifm gives a measuring error of ± 5 % of the final value and requires a dielectric constant above 2; the medium temperature range is 0…35 °C (with climate tube E43100 35…65 °C), and the tank pressure is 0.5 bar when mounted with ifm mounting accessories. ifm lists it as not suitable for extremely conductive media, adhering media, granulates, bulk material, acids, alkali and food and electroplating industry. It provides 4 switching outputs (PNP/NPN) and IO-Link, with the switching outputs configurable as normally open or normally closed and rated at 200 mA, runs on 18…30 V DC and connects through an M12 connector (A-coded, 7 gold-plated contacts). The housing is Ø 16 mm and is rated IP67 for 0…60 °C ambient.
