Owner's manual

Omega LVP-51-R is a non-intrusive RF capacitance level switch designed to detect the presence of liquid or air by measuring the conductive or dielectric values present in all materials. It is suitable for use with liquids having a dielectric value between 20 and 80, and can even detect liquids below a dielectric constant of 20 under certain conditions. The switch has a single SPST relay with a 60VA rating and can be configured for normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation. It is enclosed in a NEMA 4X (IP65) rated housing and can be mounted in either a PE (LVP-91) or PP (LVP-92) bracket. The LVP-51-R is a versatile level switch that can be used in a variety of applications, including:

2. Determinethemountinglocationforthelevelswitch.The

theactual Point ofActuation (POA) maydiffer depending
on the application liquid and tank wall characteristics.
After positioning the fitting to check clearances, etc.,
remove the paper protective strips from the adhesive of

Owner's manual

Omega LVP-51-R is a non-intrusive RF capacitance level switch designed to detect the presence of liquid or air by measuring the conductive or dielectric values present in all materials. It is suitable for use with liquids having a dielectric value between 20 and 80, and can even detect liquids below a dielectric constant of 20 under certain conditions. The switch has a single SPST relay with a 60VA rating and can be configured for normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation. It is enclosed in a NEMA 4X (IP65) rated housing and can be mounted in either a PE (LVP-91) or PP (LVP-92) bracket. The LVP-51-R is a versatile level switch that can be used in a variety of applications, including:
