Sanitary Systems
Level detection in wastewater and freshwater tanks and vacuum toilets
All sensor applications in sanitary systems are driven by the toilet system’s high availability requirements. Level sensors ensure reliable detection of any medium with a single sensor, despite foam and other contamination. Our pressure sensors enable continuous monitoring and control of vacuum toilets.
Applications
Wastewater Management
- Reliable level detection in contaminated environments, preventing false alarms or late maintenance notifications.
- Reduced cleaning and maintenance effort thanks to sensor technology insensitive to dirt and foaming.
- No vibrating or moving parts.
- Level switch (LBFS) based on the frequency sweep method — sensor tip with low immersion depth, low risk of buildup, rugged stainless steel housing.
- Continuous level measurement based on the potentiometric measuring method (PLP70) enables predictive maintenance planning.
Freshwater Management
- Reliable fill-level detection even with limescale buildup in the freshwater tank, preventing false alarms or late maintenance notifications.
- No vibrating or moving parts.
- Level switch (LBFS) based on the frequency sweep method.
- Continuous level measurement based on the hydrostatic method with a pressure sensor (PP20R Front Flush); high accuracy for precise level detection.
Vacuum Management
- Vacuum control before flushing for reliable toilet operation.
- Front-flush design with high resistance to dirt.
- Available with the PP20R front-flush pressure sensor.
Hand Detection at Soap Dispensers and Faucets
- Reliable, non-contact hand detection with photoelectric miniature sensors.
- Switching distance of 15 to 300 mm at any approach angle, even with a dirty sight glass.
- Adjustable switching delay to prevent multiple or unwanted triggers.
- Compact sensor design for easy integration.
- Available with the O200.G, O300.G, and OR18 M18 stainless steel sensors.
