NuTec LS2000 Level Switch from FCI

The NuTec LS2000 Level Switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) is designed for service in tank and sump level applications, as well as fill/drain control and overflow detection. The LS2000 Level Switch is designed for two-wire, 4 to 20 mA loop power that allows the LS2000 to serve as a drop-in replacement for other two-wire mechanical float and paddle switches without any wiring modifications during plant retrofit projects, which simplifies installation and reduces cost. The LS2000 is also available for 115/230 Vac or 24 Vdc input power and a 6A relay output.

The LS2000 Level Switch features a no-moving parts thermal mass flow sensor constructed with either 304/305 stainless steel or with 316L all welded stainless steel with wetted surfaces for rugged environments. In its top mount configuration measures level within ±0.25 inch (6mm) from its element tip. The side mount configuration is accurate to +0.125 (3mm). It is fully temperature compensated for process and plant environment swings of up to ±100F (±38°C).

The LS2000’s level sensor operates at temperatures from -40 to +250°F (-40 to 121°C) and at pressures to 500 psig (35 bar [g]). Its aluminum enclosure is rated NEMA 4X (IP66) for harsh environments. Approvals and ratings include: Class I and II, Div 1 and 2, Groups C and D, as well as FM, CSA, CE marking and ATEX (pending).
