HOW DOES IT WORK
Mac3 Reka capacitive liquid level sensor can be used to replace a traditional float switch with a fixed non-moving sensor. Electrical connections and power handling are the same as for a typical float switch, allowing easy integration with existing system designs. The fixed positioning avoids the problems of cable/weight slippage, detachment, and poor repeatability associated with float switch installations.

The compact and non-toxic polypropylene construction are ideally suited to locations where there is not enough room to mount a float switch. There is a screw hole at either side near the top of the unit allow it to be fastened within a tank for level control, or against a wall or step for flood warning. A high tank level can also be detected by inserting the unit through a slot cut in the top of the tank if a temporary installation is required or if access to the tank is restricted. 

Fluid detection is via 2 sensing paddles immersed in the fluid. The presence of fluid on these paddles will cause the output relay to close, causing it to output 230V. The measuring range of Reka starts at a low level 30 to 40mm from the lower tip of the unit, and a higher level at 110 to 130mm. This provides a switching level differential imitating the operation of a mechanical float switch. The lower switching level is reduced for fluids other than water, as indicated in the diagram on the following page. Water, Wine, Fruit Juices, Milk and Fluid Soaps are compatible with this product. 

Reka outputs 230VAC when fluid is detected, so for some tank filling or low level alert applications an additional relay may be needed to reverse the output function and produce a voltage output when not immersed. The Reka can control a pump of up to 4A or a resistive load up to 10A at max 250VAC.
