The MWS-24TX/RX type microwave sensor is a Level Switch which consists of a transmitter and a receiver, installed face to face. The transmitter unit transmits a microwave beam which is received at the receiver unit. An output relay is released when the beam is obstructed.
The sensor has wide application across all areas of industry where highly reliable, non-contact level detection is required. The sensor is generally used for process control by monitoring presence/absence of product, flow/no flow conditions and point level detection in bins and silos. The sensor may also be used as a proximity switch for detection of vehicles such as dump trucks and rail cars.
