KA1742 This Rechner capacitive device can detect when the level of resin in a storage tank is low. The device’s low-level output signal can turn on equipment, such as a motor or vacuum system, to feed more resin and fill the storage tank from a vessel, such as a silo, for between 30 seconds to 10 minutes, as specified by an adjustable timer. The sensor is contained within a watertight, dust-tight housing.
What’s new? The KA1742, featuring a built-in timer that sets it apart from many other, similar timers.
Benefits The ability to control a fill cycle without having to add an external timer.
