Nohken OX Series Optical Interface Measurement Sensor
Product Code:OX Series
Description
OX-10 OX-30 OX-40
OX1000-0 OX1000-1
Insensitive to contaminationModulated infrared minimizes affection from contaminationInsensitive to external light interferenceInfrared source uses frequency band with only limited interference, and the circuit response only to the modulated light.Long service lifeThe pipe inserted in the tank is made in FEP (fluoric material) that resists chemicals and high temperatures. The material also prevents buildup and contamination.Principle of OperationThe sensor has two detector rods. One of the detectors has a transmitter and the other a receiver at the end, oriented to face each other.
The sensor compares the amplitude of the transmitted and received light to know material presence. For example, when the detectors are in water, the transmission amplitude decreases only a little, whereas in sludge, the amplitude of received light is significantly decreased.
The sensor measures the decrease in amplitude and gives an output signal.
