SLW Series: Years in Process Control Instrumentation

The document describes a conductivity level limit switch called the SLW Series that uses electrodes to sense the level of conductive liquids in tanks and can control pumps and valves. It works by applying a low AC voltage between an electrode probe and the tank wall to detect when liquid makes contact. The SLW Series is available in different models for single-point switching, pump control logic, and multiple-point level detection applications.

SLW Series ­ Conductivity Level Limit Switch Version 2.1

Conductivity level limit switches are based on the principle of measuring level
through the electrical properties of the process material. As the name suggests,
the switch senses the level of water or other liquids that have free ions, and are
successfully used in processing plants for conductive liquids of conductivity not
less than 25 Siemens.

Principle
A low AC voltage is applied between the probe electrode and the tank wall (or reference
electrode in case of insulated tanks). When the liquid comes in contact with the electrode
tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the tank wall /
reference electrode. This current is sensed, amplified and made to operate a relay whose
contacts in turn can be used for annunciation / control.
