ES3 to PDF Conversion for Damming Sensor

This document describes a thermistor sensor that can detect liquid levels and leaks. The sensor uses a PTC thermistor element housed in a stainless steel probe. The thermistor's resistance increases when heated, allowing connected electronics to determine if the probe is in air, gas, or liquid. The sensor is ATEX-certified for use in explosive environments and commonly used for tank level and leakage alarms. Standard cable lengths are 5 or 20 meters.
