Technical F.A.Q.

What electrical connections are available for rotary sensors (PFG05, PFG57 and PFG09) and pressure level switches (MN21)?

The electrical connections available for these types of indicators are: faston terminal, spring terminal block and screw terminal block. For more explanations, see the video tutorial where we show the different connection options of the basic PFG05 model.

Is it possible to customize level sensors according to specific customer requirements?

Sure, customization is one of CAMLogic's founding principles. That's why our company offers the possibility of customizing -from flanges, to paddles, to extensions- each level sensor through the specific 'configurator' section.

Why do propellers take different shapes?

Because the different helix shapes are adapted to the type of connection of the level indicator and this allows different materials to be handled in density (0.1 to 2 kg/dm3).
