Data Sheet

The Gladiator Smart Conductivity Switch is a third genera-tion, state-of-the-art level probe, designed to operate in tough industrial environments.

Principle of OperationsA low voltage AC signal is applied between the probe elec-trode and the tank wall or reference electrode in the case of a non-metallic tank. When the liquid comes into contact with the electrode tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the metallic tank wall/reference electrode. Current flow due to the conductive path is sensed, amplified and used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.

Typical UsesFailsafe high-level/low-level alarmHigh-level alarmLow-level alarmHigh and low-levelInterface DetectionPump control

FunctionPoint level switch for conductive liquids. Metallic tanks may use either single or dual probe versions whilst non metallic tanks must used a dual probe version.

Primary Areas of Application- Brewing- Chemical - Dairy- Edible Oil- Fertilizer - Food & Beverage- Glass- Mining & Metals- Oil & Gas- Packaging

Ground the housing to vessel, if vessel is metallic.Ground the housing to plant ground, if vessel is non-metallic.

The AC earth/ground cable must be connected to the ground screw inside the housing when using AC power.

If only one cable is used for bothpower and output signal, then the second entry port must be plugged or blinded. Every Smart unit is supplied with two M20 glands (or 3/4”NPT adaptors) mounted on the unit and one blind plug loose.

Remove Plug-Interminal block for easier wiring.

Mounting Examples

MountingProbes can be mounted from above or from the side.

Use a protection plate for side mounting where the probe may be subject to impact damage.

Install the Probe far enough away from the vessel wall to prevent the probe from coming into contact with the wall, and prevent conductive build-up from bridging the probe to the wall over time.
