HPQ-T PIPE MOUNTED, SELF-CONTAINED LIQUID SENSOR
The HPQ-T sensor is designed specifically for liquid level
detection by non-contact methods in clear or very translucent pipes. The sensor is mounted on a pipe that is between
3 to 7mm or 8 to 13mm in diameter and features an infrared light beam that becomes refracted and undetectable by the receiver when the liquid is present. The device runs on 10-28 VDC, has a response time of 2 msec max, has Light Operate/ Dark Operate Selectable output functioning, and has a 100 mA NPN or PNP output. There is minimal malfunction when air bubbles or water droplets are present. The indicator light is easy to view even when the sensors are gang mounted as all the controls and adjustments are located on the back side.

Features and Benefits

Small compact size and non-invasive sensing make installation and height adjustment easy
Many products to select from - provides flexibility to user based on concerns
Thru scan principle where liquid refracts light beam -insures reliable detection
Infrared beam can help penetrate slurries and other solids with similar detection effect as water/liquid. This can be used in mixing sections of the process.
Light operate / dark operate selector switch provides output flexibility.
Indicator lamp is easy to view even when sensors are gang mounted

Usage Recommendation
The standard gain setting versions work with most liquids. The 25% gain reduction should be used when large quantities of bubbles are present or where mixing in chambers requires the sensor to be able to detect water/fluid, solids, and mixture of solids/fluids equally. We recommend that the prospective user evaluate their chemical combinations and mixing situations to determine which sensor works best before finalizing the specification for use
