SITRANS LCS100

Overview

The SITRANS LCS100 is a compact point-level switch designed for detecting liquids, sludges, solids, foams, and interface layers. Its small form factor makes it ideal for tight installation spaces and supports either plastic or stainless-steel process connections. Available in both rigid rod and flexible cable probe versions, the device adapts to a wide variety of industrial applications.

It is suitable for overfill protection, high/low level alarms, pump control, and demand-based level switching.
