Their remarkable small sizes makes the OPTISWITCH 6500 and 6600 a perfect fit for hygienic applications and any environments that call for minimally invasive sensors. At the same time ,these compact level switches are versatile and highly accurate. From high and low level alarms for liquids or solids,to dry-run protection and liquid-liquid interface detection, these sensors cover a lot of diverse applications. Even media with changed characteristics such as in a fermentation process present no challenge to these switches . Neither do sticky, crystallising media or environments with strong vibrations.

The extraordinary versatility of these switches makes them particularly appropriate for the food and beverage ,pharmaceutical ,transport ,water and marine industries.

For Hygienic and many other markets

Both the stainless steel housing OPTISWITCH 6500 C and the OPTSWITCH 6600C with minimised electronics in the sensor ,offer a broad variety of hygienic connections. Their small insertion length of only 12mm makes them ideally suitable not only for the hygienic market but also for many other non-Ex applications in various industries and OEM-businesses

One level switch for all appliations

No need to choose between switches for solids and liquids - OPTSWITCH 6500/6600 cover both in one switch. The unit is suitable for:

• Track changed chracteristics of meda e.g. fermentation processes in breweries
• Detect the interface between media with similar characteristics e.g soap/water
• Identify a specific liquid in a sewage line
• Detect the difference between foam and medium e.g. ice-cream, yeast,beer.
• Ignore crystallisation and build-up on the sensor tip e.g. sugar, squashed grapes
• Handle strong vibrations of an installation

Makes tuning forks obsolete

Unlike tuning forks ,OPTISWITCH 6500/6600 microwave level switches can handle foam,crystallising ,sticky or dust producing media and strong vibrations . Not only do they detect high or low levels but also the interface and changed characteristics of a medium e.g. in breweries . Their self-draining sensor tip and absence of any moving parts makes the virtually maintenance free.
